  • Meet Jenn

    “As a child, I often had a camera in my hand. My mom, my grandmother, and my great-grandmother all enjoyed taking photographs of the world around them. Many of those photos were passed on to me and I was able to unfold a whole story of my ancestor's lives back to the 1800s. That's what I love most about this career - preserving memories for lifetimes.”

    JENNIFER MCNEIL, PHOTOGRAPHER & OWNER

    Meet Jenn
  • Motherhood

    Jenn is a mother to two beautiful children, J and M. While she does create many portraits of the two of them, she most enjoys time spent hanging out at home with them building with Lego, painting, or playing in the backyard. On weekends, a morning bike ride to the coffee shop for a treat is something the whole family enjoys.

The Studio Process

1. Plan Ahead

Once your session is booked, you will be invited to schedule a pre-session video consultation via Zoom. During that call we will begin to plan all the details for an amazing maternity or cute newborn session. Jenn will assist with wardrobe, styling, and ideas to make your session unique. Planning ahead allows for a smooth and enjoyable session.

2. Enjoy Your Session

The day of the session, everything is already planned, prepared and set up and you can relax and enjoy the magic! We suggest you give yourself a day of pampering before maternity shoots. Family photos? Keep your routine light for the day if you can. For newborn sessions, keep it simple and add on in-house hair and makeup services so you can relax the morning of your session.

3. Order Your Products

After the images are perfected, you will be invited to schedule a personalized image review. During this appointment, you will be able to see the images in a digital slideshow, from there choose your favorite photos, and order your exquisite artwork. Additional printed and digital products are also available for purchase. For any desired wall art, special software will be used to show you a virtual preview of your walls with the images you select.

4. Enjoy Your Photos!

Once everything comes into the studio and is checked by staff for quality, you will be able to collect your order. Should you need any help with displaying your artwork in your home, we can help with that as well as part of our installation services. Then, every day you can enjoy the images created during your sessions with beautiful albums and wall displays that will stand the test of time.

Beautiful Moments. Excellent Service. Lasting Memories.

From the first time you contact me, I want to get to know you and your family. I will talk via phone to learn about your desires and share with you the benefits of the unique experience I offer for both maternity and newborn photos in Orange County.  We discuss how best to document your pregnancy or any personalized baby photos you may want to create.  Once you book, we will schedule a face to face meeting to fine tune the photo session colors, props, and and/or dresses. In addition to planning for the styling of the sessions, we will talk about the plans to display these images and start getting excited about what we will create together!

Along with your studio newborn portrait session, I offer a maternity portraits in the my 440 square foot maternity studio. These classic pregnancy portraits will celebrate you and the anticipation of adding a new child to the family. Do you want family in your maternity portraits? We do that, too!  Immediate family is included in every session – they are part of your story!  But don’t worry, the spotlight will still be on you for part of the session! Plus, with a wide variety of maternity gowns and colorful fabrics, the styling options are endless.

Staying close to home is often desired by new parents.  We are centrally located in OC, giving you an easy drive to a quiet, safe, and comfortable studio. With over a decade of experience as an OC newborn photographer, and two young children of my own, I understand what families deserve from their professional newborn photography experience. More than anything sessions should be safe and enjoyable and result in photos families are excited to display and enjoy. It is one of my greatest joys to be invited to share in the excitement of welcoming a new baby into your family. Specializing in newborn photos, I provide a clean, safe environment full of patience and professionalism while creating images that will allow you to remember these moments for a lifetime.

Kind Words

Everything in her studio is so professional and it made the newborn shoot go by smoothly. When the photos were ready (which was within two weeks!) she emailed us so we could set up a time to have a viewing and choose the images we wanted. The whole process was such a breeze and I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking to do a newborn shoot to go to Jenn! She’s amazing!
