In the weeks before our session in Malaga Cove, what began as a simple couples session for Catherine and Chris transformed into a joyful celebration of the next chapter in their lives: a pregnancy announcement!
We started our session among the red brick archways and old-world Spanish Colonial textures of the Malaga Cove Plaza in Palos Verdes Estates before heading to the cliffs for soft coastal sunset light and sweeping Pacific views.
Catherine and Chris have a long history—one that goes all the way back to 2006, when they first met at La Habra Tennis Center. Their paths crossed casually for years, until they reconnected eight years ago. Fast forward to now, nearly five years into marriage, they’re stepping into a new season together.
If you’re considering Malaga Cove for your own maternity or pregnancy announcement photos, here’s why I love it:
It offers two distinct vibes in one session: Mediterranean architecture in Malaga Cove Plaza and cinematic cliffs just five minutes away.
The light is gorgeous year-round.
It’s really accessible, which is great for maternity photography—you wouldn’t be far from your car or walking up and down hills.
