Hello, Baby!

We are a full service photography studio offering birth photography to clients in Ventura County, Ojai, Santa Barbara and beyond.

Whether you are giving birth at home, at a birthing center, or at the hospital, we will be there to capture your experience in beautiful imagery.

 
 

Moments that matter.

“Documentary style has real value in the sense that it tells a story—which is amazing for the arrival of a new child. The hundreds of images bring me back to the moment and almost to the exact experience each time I look at them. We now have amazing photos as forever memories of that perfect experience.” —Lexi and Travis

SO worth documenting!

 

Experienced birth and family photographers Loren Haar and Meghan Schade are ready to capture the strength and emotion of the moments that make up your family's Birth Story. Your images will showcase the end of your labor, your connection with your support team, and the powerful moment that your baby arrives Earthside. We believe in documenting birth in all its forms, supporting birthing women and their families, and providing families with tangible and visual reminders of their unforgettable birth experience.
