Outdoor Maternity Pictures by Jennifer McNeil Photography
When it comes to pregnancy photos there are typically three general locations where you can have them taken. The first is in a professional photo studio. The second is at your home or another indoor location. The third is an park, beach or nature trail for outdoor maternity photos. It is the last option, outdoor portraits, that provide a more organic and natural look. Jennifer McNeil Photography has taken photos across all of Orange County in various parks like Irvine Regional park and Santiago Canyon. As well as popular beaches in Newport Beach and Laguna Beach.
Irvine Regional Park – a fantastic park for capturing pregnancy photos
Tucked away behind the foothills of Irvine and Tustin is the Irvine Regional Park. The location allows for come great photos among huge grass fields, tall eucalyptus trees and secluded oak groves to capture the beauty of your pregnancy. While there is a small parking fee for this OC Park, it is one of the largest in the Orange County Parks system. With plenty of room to get away from the picnics and the family reunions to find a quiet location to focus on getting lovely outdoor maternity pictures. Due to it’s popularity on weekends, planning is required to ensure you are able to enter and find parking.

Booking Outdoor Maternity Photos
When to contact Jennifer McNeil Photography to book your session? The sooner the better. Outdoor maternity photos take more planning than photo studio sessions. Therefore, it is wise to plan a little earlier than normal to allow for additional dates to reschedule for bad weather. Please note, if the weather is fair, and a session is cancelled by the client, there is a reschedule fee required.
