Ariana + Steven - Summer Maternity Session - Redlands, Ca. by Ulices Del Toro

I’ve had the joy of photographing Ariana and Steven through every one of their maternity journeys, and this most recent session might just be my favorite yet. This sweet couple is expecting baby number three, and we met on a golden summer evening out in an open field—nature doing what it does best, giving us that perfect light and gentle breeze.

Their two little ones, a boy and a girl, ran around full of energy, adding so much life and joy to the session. And just when I thought the moment couldn’t be more magical, a horse wandered into the frame—yes, a real surprise guest! It was one of those unexpected moments that turns a good shoot into a truly memorable one.

Ariana and Steven are the kind of family that makes my job feel like a gift. Watching their family grow and being trusted to capture each chapter is something I don’t take for granted.

The Luna's - Sunset Family Session - Redlands, Ca. by Ulices Del Toro

I recently had the joy of photographing the Luna Family in beautiful Redlands, California, and it was an absolute blast! From the moment I arrived, their warmth and laughter made the session a delight.

After the session, I eagerly dove into editing. Each photo perfectly captured their joy, and I was thrilled with how they turned out. I can’t wait to share these beautiful memories with the Lunas! This experience was a true reminder of why I love what I do.

Alexis + Johanna - Sunset Maternity Session - Mormon Rocks California by Ulices Del Toro

One of my favorites things about my career in photography is watching families grow. I was fortunate enough to have photographed Alexis and Johanna’s maternity session when they had their first little and its just so amazing to see them grow their little family.

For their first maternity session we tried coming to Mormon Rocks but the winds were easily 50mph that day and we had to reschedule and shoot at a different location. It was awesome being able to come back and give it another go. We had so much fun climbing around rocks to get these beautiful sunset photos.

Alyssa is moving on to a University and joining their music program and we wanted to make sure we got some really great photos with her and her violin. So excited for her and her future!

Nichole + Matt - Mountain Top Maternity Session - Wrightwood, Ca. by Ulices Del Toro

Had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful maternity session for my good friends Nichole and her husband Matt. They are expecting their first born and were excited to revisit a special campground they love to go to for this session. It turned out to be a perfect day, we got some trees, snow and a beautiful sunset.

Really excited for these two and the beginning of the next chapter of their lives.

It has been so fun photographing this beautiful family over the years. We really enjoy spending time with them, and the twins are so fun to be around. This shoot was from our last holiday session weekend, and everything about it was perfect! We walked the entire loop at Heaps Peak Arboretum and found so many great place to take photos!

Gus + Teresa - Maternity - Griffith Observatory Los Angeles CA by Ulices Del Toro

It has been so amazing being a part of Gus + Teresa’s journey. We were so lucky to be a part of their wedding, get to know them and watch them grow. As I’m writing this, little Benjamin has already entered this world and he is the cutest little guy. We are so happy to see this little family grow. Had to share some more photos from this beautiful maternity session at the Griffith Observatory overseeing Los Angeles.
