There’s something magical about capturing motherhood surrounded by the timeless beauty of nature — and Sherman Library & Gardens in Newport Beach, CA is one of my favorite locations for that. With its lush greenery, colorful blooms, and peaceful walkways, it creates the perfect backdrop for family maternity photography that feels both elegant and heartfelt.

 

This beautiful family joined me for a warm, sun-filled maternity session, celebrating their growing family and the sweet anticipation of welcoming a new baby. The mother looked stunning in a soft, flowing neutral gown that perfectly complemented the natural tones of the gardens, while her husband and little boy added such tender, genuine emotion to every frame.

 

Every corner of Sherman Gardens offers something special — from the charming brick paths and ivy-covered walls to the bursts of flowers that light up the scene. The combination of gentle light and this family’s natural connection made for a session that felt both timeless and full of life.

 

As an Orange County maternity photographer, I love helping families slow down and document this fleeting season of love and anticipation. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, every pregnancy tells its own beautiful story — and it deserves to be remembered in a setting that feels as warm and inviting as this one.

 

If you’re expecting and dreaming of a maternity session that captures your family’s authentic connection in a beautiful outdoor location, Sherman Library & Gardens in Newport Beach is the perfect spot. Let’s create something truly meaningful together.
