Playful Maternity Shoot in Los Angeles

Gina December 16, 2020

Last year, I was so busy shooting and editing that I’ve gotten behind on sharing my favorite sessions. Now I have a little more time in my office so I’m going through the archives to bring you some treasures.

I miss being able to do in home sessions! I think being in a couple’s space can make the photos feel personal and be a wonderful marker in people’s lives of a time and space. I’m looking forward to the passing of this pandemic so I can be safely in other’s spaces again; but for today, I’m happy to share this sweet in home maternity shoot in Los Angeles.

I just adore these two and their willingness to be playful. There are even guest appearances of one of their chickens their adorable pup. I hope you enjoy!

Sweet Maternity Shoot

I’m thrilled I was able to capture this beautiful moment in time for my friends Carri & Mike. We did a mini-session a studio in downtown Los Angeles before heading to Bronson Canyon which felt like a dreamy magical forest.

Dreamy Maternity Shoot

Gina Cholick May 30, 2017

One of my favorite things about photography is the connection I feel with my subjects, and it's a truly special day when I get to work with dear friends. I'm so thrilled for Rachel + Rico and their little girl who will be arriving in the next few weeks. A stunning Rachel and I started our shoot in a soaking tub with a luxurious milk bath. I love how the the intimate setting focuses on her form.

I adore these two and the tenderness they share. It was an honor to both capture their love and this unique moment in time. This baby is going to be one lucky wee one and I can't wait to meet her!

We found a beautiful sun drenched path in the Hollywood Hills and there was a lovely little trail with a secret garden and wildflowers along the way. It was a sweet and leisurely stroll filled with laughs and kisses.

I am so excited for these two as they enter their next life adventure together.

Milk bath maternity shoot

Gina January 24, 2017

Today I'm sharing a favorite shoot with you from the fall. When Valerie mentioned wanting a maternity shoot, a milk bath came to mind. I'd been seeing these gorgeous images on Pinterest for a while, and I'd been dying to try it. The morning of the shoot we headed down to the LA flower market to get some blooms. Valerie is a talented florist and it was a lot of fun to step into her world. There was so much to look at and the colors and smells were decadent. I could not stop grinning ear to ear. I would definitely recommend heading down there for a fun wander.

A really fun aspect to the shoot was that it was such a relaxing experience. Being in a warm milk bath is like being at the spa. She loved it!

The milk bath was so much fun. I think it would be a gorgeous addition to a boudoir shoot as well. And a huge congratulations to this mama! She had a beautiful baby girl last week.
