I had the most wonderful time with Lorinda! I was beyond anxious before my photo shoot and I naturally always feel uncomfortable getting my picture taken. As soon as we started talking I felt so relaxed, the way she works and poses you feels SO natural that I totally forgot I was taking pictures. She made me feel beautiful, something I hardly ever feel when getting my picture taken. My pictures… MY PICTURES! WOW. Speechless. You will be so pleased. Thank you so much Lorinda I enjoyed our time together & I can’t wait to book you again!

I cannot recommend Lorinda K Photography enough for anyone looking for a maternity photographer in the Bay Area. From start to finish, my experience was absolutely amazing, and the results exceeded every expectation.
She was incredibly responsive and made it so easy to schedule the session. She took the time to talk through the details, offering suggestions for locations, outfits, and even the best time of day for natural lighting.
If you’re looking for a maternity photographer who will create breathtaking photos and give you a personal, unforgettable experience, look no further than Lorinda K Photography. You will not be disappointed.

Lorinda was so sweet and made My Fiance and I feel so comfortable during our session. She took us to 3 beautiful locations and got our photos back to us so quickly! We loved working with her and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a photographer.

FAQs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got started in photography as a young girl about 12. I was very shy, and loved being behind the camera my aunts were photographers and I was inspired by their work. I bought my first camera and lens and haven’t looked back. I love when someone tells me they are shy or not photogenic. I make it my mission to make them feel beautiful.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Best advice is to hire someone who knows the area, someone who understands light. Also someone with the photography style you prefer. Be careful trusting your priceless memories to someone who is just learning, or a friend of the family with a camera because it’s cheap. I get emails all the time with brides wanting me to redo their wedding images because they were unhappy with what they received.
