The best time to schedule your maternity photography session is during your pregnancy, ideally between 28-32 weeks. Booking during this period ensures that your photographer can reserve availability and allows plenty of time for planning and preparation.
Choosing the 28-32 week window is ideal because your baby bump will be beautifully defined, yet you'll still feel comfortable and have enough energy to enjoy the session fully. This timeframe also provides flexibility in scheduling, giving you room to adjust your session date if necessary.
If you've missed this ideal booking window or you're approaching your due date quickly, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I will always do my best to accommodate your session and capture these precious memories for you and your growing family.
Your maternity session can take place at a location that feels most comfortable and meaningful to you, whether that's an outdoor setting like a beautiful beach, scenic park, or garden, or in the cozy comfort of my studio located in Old Town Tustin (Orange County, CA)..
If you're unsure about where to have your session, I’m happy to offer suggestions based on your style and preferences, ensuring a setting that perfectly matches your vision and creates stunning images you'll cherish forever.
A typical maternity photography session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. This allows ample time for outfit changes, varying poses, and capturing a wide range of beautiful images without feeling rushed.
My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the session, providing you with a wonderful experience and memorable photographs to treasure.
To make your maternity session effortless and enjoyable, I offer a client closet in my Orange County studio filled with gorgeous maternity dresses in various sizes and styles, exclusively available for you to use during your session. Additionally, I provide professional styling guidance to help you look your best, along with professional hair and makeup services.
My aim is to ensure your session is stress-free and that you look and feel absolutely beautiful.
Yes! I specialize in heirloom-quality printed products designed to preserve your motherhood journey.. Options include custom albums and framed wall art crafted with the finest materials for exceptional quality and longevity.
During your viewing session, I’ll guide you through the design process to create artwork that fits seamlessly into your home and reflects your family’s unique story.
Most of our clients come to us for our expertise in creating custom artwork and heirloom albums designed specifically for their homes. That full-service, guided experience is what sets our studio apart.
That said, your full gallery of digital images can absolutely be purchased à la carte. During your ordering appointment, we’ll walk through all of your options — from your digital gallery to albums and framed pieces — so you can choose what feels like the best fit for your family.
Absolutely! For families wanting to document every milestone of their baby’s first year, I offer the First Year Collective Membership. This exclusive membership includes multiple sessions throughout your baby’s first year — from newborn to sitting up and their first birthday. Members enjoy discounted session fees and print credits, making it an incredible value for families who want to preserve every precious stage.
The First Year Collective includes 3-4 sessions. Choose from maternity, newborn, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year/cake smash.
Let’s create a timeless story of your baby’s first year — one you’ll treasure forever.
Jennifer has photographed our family through our son’s entire first year — maternity, newborn, 6 month, 9 month, and his first birthday cake smash — and we truly wouldn’t go anywhere else.
We originally found her while searching for a newborn photographer in Orange County, and she exceeded every expectation. Her sessions are baby-led and relaxed, which made such a difference as first-time parents.
The full-service experience is amazing. Professional hair and makeup and access to her client wardrobe meant I didn’t have to stress about anything. I just showed up.
What really sets her apart is the artwork. She helped us design albums and framed pieces that are now hanging in our home. These aren’t just digital images — they’re keepsakes.
If you’re looking for a maternity, newborn, or family photographer in Orange County, Jennifer is the best.

Reviews From Real Moms
Jennifer was incredible to work with from the very start!
We booked a package that included a maternity shoot, newborn shoot, 6mo and 1-yr cake-smash, and all of the photos have turned out incredible!
It was such a breeze coordinating our sessions and so refreshing knowing that all details of the shoot would be taken care of (dress options for mom, adorable swaddles and outfits for baby, toys for siblings that needed to tag along, and such a welcoming and attentive environment).
We got so many beautiful photos back and will cherish the memories forever.
Her new studio in Tustin is darling and her photo packages are the perfect gift for any new parent!

the maternity portrait EXPERIENCE
Hello and welcome! I'm Jen, and I founded Jennifer Imus Photography in 2009 with a simple belief — that every season of motherhood deserves to be remembered beautifully.
I'd love to welcome you to my studio, where I've designed a truly luxury space where everything is handled and nothing feels rushed. It's where I create newborn portraits that will one day become your family's most treasured heirlooms.
As a mom with two kids now in college, I know just how quickly these moments slip away. Whether your baby is already here or you're still pregnant, I've got you — start to finish.

Your maternity photographs deserve to live in your home — on the walls your baby will grow up passing every day, and in an album you’ll sit down with together for years to come.
At my Old Town Tustin studio, I guide you through designing custom wall art and heirloom albums — conservation framing, fine linens, supple leathers — thoughtfully crafted to last for generations. I take care of the design, delivery, and installation.
You simply enjoy them.

The First Year Collective
maternity - newborn - 6 month - 1 year
The first year happens fast.
The First Year Collective lets you plan every milestone session before your baby even arrives — so when those moments come, you're already on the calendar.
No scrambling, no last-minute availability stress, just showing up and enjoying it.
Built-in savings on session fees, album credits at every session, complimentary birth announcements, an ELF Pass to our 2026 Santa Experience, and priority booking — all taken care of before the chaos of new parenthood begins.
Every collective is custom. Inquire to get started.
I accept a limited number of maternity sessions each month so that every client receives a truly personalized, high-touch experience.
Most expecting moms reserve their maternity session during the first trimester. However, if you’re already in your second or third trimester, I encourage you to reach out — I’m always happy to check for last-minute availability.

The Ash family had a wonderful maternity session in the studio. It was a special time with mom, dad, and their young son, capturing sweet moments before their family grows.
Their young son brought energy and smiles to the session, making it even more memorable.

The Jacksons’ maternity session was such a beautiful experience. We chose a field with a wooded area nearby, and it felt like the perfect spot to capture this special time.
They were so easygoing and full of excitement, and you could feel the love they have for each other and their baby. The natural setting really added a peaceful, down-to-earth vibe to the whole session.
