We had family pictures taken while on vacation and they turned out great! She was very flexible with the location, since we had small children in the group. Was extremely professional and did a great job. What a great way to remember a fun trip. I would definitely use SoftLightstories again.

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and captured this special time in our lives perfectly. We’re so happy with how everything came out and will definitely cherish these memories.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a maternity photographer in San Diego!

Transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Packages vary based on coverage time and location, and all include professionally edited high-resolution images. Travel fees may apply outside San Diego.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
start by learning about your vision, preferences, and goals for the session or event. We discuss location, timing, outfits, and any important details. I also provide helpful planning resources and preparation guides when needed. During the shoot, I offer gentle direction to help you feel comfortable and natural. Afterward, I carefully edit the images and deliver a private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing.
