I’ve been loving all the maternity sessions at Treasure Island in Laguna Beach. By far my favorite location for maternity photography and the ideal spot for most of my clients. The location is not as crowded compared to the other popular spots in Laguna. The restrooms are clean and well maintained. There is usually ample parking at Lot #7 (Lot is located between Montage and Coast Hwy. Credit card, dollar bills and quarters accepted for payment.) There is also parking garage closer to the beach but parking is difficult to find here.

Lily is a soon to be mother of 2. Her baby Elva is a preemie and she’s a beauty. She also just recently graduated with a nursing degree from American Career College. Nursing school is super rigorous and stressful and I honestly don’t know how Lily manages everything in her busy life. Anything is possible, and Lily is a true representation of hard work and dedication. Can’t wait to meet baby Sophia Loria!

This was one the most amazing baby showers I’ve photographed to date. Details upon details and everything from the garlands to the desserts were just perfect. Most of the credit has to go Sarah’s sister in law and their entire family for putting this entire event together.

To this date, I’ve photographed Sarah & Malik’s Gender Reveal and Maternity Photography Session. I’m so grateful for being part of their journey and capturing all the details along the way.

So blessed to be able to photograph Sarah for her maternity session at Laguna Beach. Thank you to Sarah (Harris’ Sister) for making this happen!

Treasure Island is one of the best locations in Laguna for Maternity Photography for numerous reasons. For one, it less crowded than the Main Beach and parking is normally available at the parking structure (Treasure Island Parking Garage / LOT #8). If you can’t find parking at Lot #8 there are also metered parking area near the Montage Hotel or you can park on PCH. There are restrooms to the right of the parking garage in case your couple has to change prior to the session.

There are also a few really beautiful spots you can photography your client near the Montage Hotel. Some of my favorite spots to photograph couples are the stairs that lead down to the beach. Once you get down to the beach, you will notice a natural arch rock which are great for photos. However, Treasure Island Beach is also well known of its tide pools. Always check the tide pool report before you schedule your session, make sure it’s low tide during the time you expect to have your session.

Q&A from Mrs. Sarah:

How did you guys come up with the baby’s name?

For the baby’s name it was a name that both of us had always liked for a baby girl. So as soon as we found out it was a girl it was an easy pick! For her middle name, we chose to name her after my mom because we knew we wanted to name our girls after our moms to honor them. The next girl we have will have my mother in laws name as her middle name! 

Any special moments so far during your maternity journey?

I feel like every moment is so special throughout the maternity journey. That’s not to say it’s easy! I’ve had a rough pregnancy for sure but just being able to  hear the baby’s heartbeat gives me relief and always makes me emotional. 

How was your overall experience with Mike Federis Photography?

My experience with Mike Federis Photography has been amazing! I really appreciate working with you and am glad you have been there to document all of it from the gender reveal, to the maternity shoot, and the upcoming baby shower and hopefully newborn pictures too! You’re awesome and extremely helpful especially to those of us like me who are super awkward. I highly highly recommend you to everyone!
