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 Spring & Summer 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

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!

My husband and I absolutely loved our maternity photoshoot experience! From the very beginning, everything felt so easy and comfortable. During the entire process, we felt relaxed and completely trusted the photographer’s vision — and we definitely made the right choice. We are beyond happy with the final result. The photos turned out so natural, lively, and full of genuine emotions. These are memories we will cherish forever. Thank you for capturing this special moment in such a beautiful way!
Brittany
We had the absolute best experience with Xenia as our newborn photographer! She came to our home, which made everything so comfortable and stress-free. She was so patient and gentle with our newborn, and it was clear she has a special talent for working with babies. She also captured beautiful family photos and even incorporated our dog seamlessly, which meant so much to us. The photos are truly priceless, and we’ll treasure them forever. We can’t recommend Xenia enough!

I love all family photos you captured. Looking through the photos, all we see are genuine moments, love and personality, not all the chaos we felt at the moment. Thank you for being so patient, calm and talented throughout the session. I can't wait for pictures again next year. <3
