Los Angeles Beach Portrait Sessions
Maternity & Family Photography
Timeless portraits on the California coast
A few times each year, I offer beach sessions in select destinationsβincluding Los Angeles, Florida, and New York. These sessions combine my lifelong love of the ocean and photography to create cinematic portraits that are both expressive and timeless.
Availability is very limited. Once the booking limit is reached, the remaining dates will close.
Family Beach Photo Sessions
These sessions are designed to capture connection, personality, and real moments. Weβll photograph the full family as well as groupingsβsiblings together, couples, and individual portraits of each child. Grandparents are welcome. If you'd like to include extended family, please reach out prior to booking. The family dog(s) are always welcome.
Each session includes a mix of gently posed portraits and more dramatic, artistic images that feel natural and expressive. While nothing is overly posed, youβll be guided throughout in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Children tend to love these sessionsβespecially in the freedom of the beach environment. With thoughtful planning and styling, the experience is low-stress and fun for everyone.
Maternity Beach Photo Sessions
A maternity session at the beach is a stunning way to celebrate your journey into motherhood. We'll collaborate on styling and wardrobe, and Iβll share trusted rental and gown resources. Hair and makeup is highly recommended.
During your session, weβll create a combination of classic and dramatic posed portraits. While every moment is directed with care, the experience feels natural and effortless. With good planning, these sessions are low-stress and deeply meaningful. Many clients choose to plan multiple looks. If you're open to it, we can end the session in the water with sunset light for a truly unforgettable finish. Partners, children, and dogs are always welcome.
Locations
Weβll select the perfect beach location together based on your vision, comfort, and aesthetic preferences. I have several trusted locations I regularly use, and Iβm always open to exploring meaningful or scenic spots that align with your goals for the session.
The Experience
After booking, you'll receive a welcome email with your client portal, a session prep guide, and a brief questionnaire to help me plan every detail with care. Iβll reach out personally to confirm your location, offer wardrobe suggestions, and answer any questions. Ideally we can schedule a Zoom call to discuss your session details.
One week after your session, weβll meet on Zoom for your gallery review to select images and finalize your order. Prior to the review, you may submit photos of your home for wall art mockups.

Nothing soothes the soul like a day by the water.
βI had a fabulous experience getting family photographs from Lisa Poseley. She suggested a beautiful, natural setting, and she had great ideas for poses and angles that really brought out the personality of our family. The images worked perfectly for our holiday cards, wall portraits, and gifts. Lisa Poseley is a too-notch professional, and she knows how to keep it fun. We had a great time, and we were delighted with the product! Thank you, Lisa!β
