Family, maternity & newborn photographer in Los Angeles and Ventura County
Natural, emotional photos for families who want this season remembered beautifully and honestly
I take a limited number of sessions each month so I can give every family a personal experience. Now booking Fall 2026.
I know how quickly these seasons of life pass. As a mom myself, I understand how much love, chaos, tenderness, and beauty live inside ordinary family moments. My sessions are designed to feel easy and natural, even if you’ve never been in front of the camera before.
WHERE DO I WORK?
I’m based in Ventura County, in Oak Park. I mainly work along the coast from Malibu to Ventura. But honestly, I’m always open to traveling wherever you need to capture your special moment.
I often drive for newborn sessions anywhere from Orange County to Santa Barbara.
Just send me a message and tell me where you’d love your session to take place — or let’s find a special spot just for you and go there together.
THE PROCESS
Here’s What You Can Expect Each Step of the Way:
Book Your Session
Choose your session type and fill out a short contact form so I can get to know you a little better! To secure your date, a 50% deposit is required. Can’t wait to create magic together!
Get Prepped
Once your deposit is paid, I’ll send you an outfit guide, a location guide, and a mood board. I’ll be here to help you every step of the way!
It's Go Time
On the day of your session, I’ll help you see that you don’t need to pose to get beautiful photos. We’ll capture natural, authentic moments that truly document this special time in your life.
90% of my clients either come to me for their very first photoshoot or haven’t had one in years—and they all leave happy, saying it was so much easier than they expected!
Ooh and Aah Over Your Images
Your images will be delivered via online digital gallery 10-15 days later. Print them out, put them on the fridge, or make a photo book to adorn your coffee table!

We had such a wonderful experience with Xenia! She came to our home, which made the whole experience so easy and relaxed, especially with little ones. She was incredibly easygoing and made us all feel comfortable and natural throughout the session. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful—we’re so happy with how they captured our family and all the little moments. We would definitely recommend her and can’t wait to work with her again!

We've now worked with Xenia twice, first for our newborn session then for my daughter's 6 month photoshoot. I cannot recommend her enough! She is so professional before, during and after the photoshoot and her images are so beautiful. She makes the photoshoot feel like an intimate moment with our family. I really love her work and look forward to working with her again for our daughter's 1 year. <3
