San Diego Beach Maternity Photos at Sunset

I loved capturing Mary and Chris’s maternity session at Swami’s Beach in Encinitas. They split their time between Los Angeles and San Diego, but the Cardiff and Encinitas area has always been especially meaningful to them, making it the perfect location for this shoot. Swami’s Beach offers everything I love about photographing maternity sessions in Southern California—soft coastal light, ocean views, and a calm, intimate atmosphere. This session felt timeless and full of heart, celebrating both their love for this place, fun style and the exciting season they’re stepping into together.
