Kind Words
Ariel is so incredibly talented and has such an amazing gift! My maternity photoshoot with Ariel was so special. It was such a nice time to connect with baby and send her love during the photo shoot. When I received the photos I cried because I was so shocked at how Ariel captured how much I already love this baby girl. Ariel has an incredible maternity wardrobe so I didn't have to worry about buying different outfits for the shoot. It was so easy and she made me feel so comfortable. I highly, highly recommend Ariel. She is the absolute best and has given me so much joy by providing these images!

"I knew I wanted Ariel for our newborn photos since I loved the timeless look to her work. I decided to do a maternity shoot as well. I'm someone that is not particular fond of being photographed, but she made the process so easy from beginning to end!" - Celia, LA

I also offer a carefully curated line of heirloom quality prints and products. Everything I offer is handcrafted from the finest archival materials to preserve your portraits for generations.
I photograph most maternity clients between 30 and 35 weeks.
I take a limited number of clients each month and recommend that you book your session as early in your second trimester as possible.
