It’s time!!! I know it’s hard to imagine because it’s 100 degrees outside, but it will be the holiday season before we know it! I have booked the best Santa in the biz for two special days of limited edition sessions, and this year, there will be two gorgeous choices! Baking With Santa! November 3rd, 10-12, Santa will be visiting on a beautiful Christmas kitchen set, and kiddos will don Christmas aprons as they stir up festive mixing bowls and show off beautiful cookies wi...th Santa. This is a totally unique experience from any other, and may serve as a good distraction for kids who might be nervous about meeting the big guy! Traditional Outdoor Santa! November 10th, 2:30-4:30pm. One of the beautiful and unique Santa experiences that MMP is famous for, it’s a special time for your kiddos to read with, talk to, and play with Santa, all in a beautifully styled setting with golden backlight These magical sessions are $150, 10 minutes long, include 3 edited images, with the full gallery of images available for purchase for $75. Sessions will be booked in the order they are requested, and invoices must be paid in 12 hours to hold your spot. Priority will be given to clients who have a family session in 2019. Please comment, message me, or email me at [email protected] to book or if you have a preference of date. Times will be assigned when all the slots are booked. I can't wait to share this magical moment with your family!!

I haven’t seen this sweet mama since we graduated from high school *cough* around 5 years ago, but it was like no time had passed at all! Except that now she has this gorgeous family to call her own. What a special session for me to witness so much love! #missionviejophotographer #sanjuancapistrano #sanjuancapistranophotographer #familyphotoshoot #ocphotographer #orangecountyfamilyphotographer #springsession #superbloom @ San Juan Capistrano, California

The only thing better than a sweet big brother? Two sweet big brothers! Just fell in love with this little trio!! #bigbrotherlittlesister #ocfamilyphotographer #newbornphotography #allwhitestudio #orangecountynewborns #irvinenewbornphotographer #sanclementenewbornphotographer #missionviejo #siblingphoto

Yes, we can certainly set up a Baby Shark cake smash if your baby loves that song... BUT, when you keep your sessions soft and natural, they never go out of style, and the love between you and your baby can take center stage. I love seeing this little angel in such beautiful simplicity

I can’t believe it but the fields are still in bloom! But likely not for too much longer if you want to get a spring mini session in while they are still so beautiful, I’ll honor the special I ran a few weeks ago- $175 for 20 minutes, includes 3 edited images with the full gallery of 45-60 images available for purchase for $75. Email me at [email protected] to book! Also, I built a brand new business website, and have moved web addresses. Come check out my new photography page, www.maggieminhasphotography.com.

Someone just mentioned the "super bloom" that will happen as a result of all this rain, and I basically ran out of the room, drove to the field, and saw that it's already filled with the gorgeous yellow flowers! This is many of my clients' favorite time for a session, so let's do some minis! I will be offering 5 dates for these. They'll be $175, 20 minutes long, include 3 edited images with the full gallery available for purchase for $75. Last year, these sold out in two days, so don't wait! I can only squeeze so many in before the flowers are gone! Comment here with your email address, or email me at [email protected]. Can't wait to see you!

Hi friends! I've had several requests, so I'm going to do a very limited run of Valentine's Day mini sessions in the studio! Sessions will be only $99, be 10 minutes long, and include at least 5 edited images and 10 professionally printed valentines for your child to distribute at school or mail to family (Additional valentines can be purchased for $2/each). *I have some cute fancy dresses for girls and some suspenders/bowties for boys-- message me if you are interested in borrowing wardrobe for the session. *Sessions are kids only *Sessions will take place on Sunday, February 10th between 3-5pm. Printed valentines will be given on Wednesday, 2/13. *Please message, comment, or email me at [email protected] to reserve your spot!

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care... Okay, maybe not yet, but it's time to grab a spot with Santa!! I already opened these sessions up to present clients, so I only have a handful of spots left. These magical sessions will be held on 11/3 and 11/4 from 3-5pm. They are $150, 10 minutes long, include 3 edited images, with the full gallery of images available for purchase for $50. With warm, golden light filtering through the trees, these sessions are really li...ke no other. Your kiddos will love interacting with our incredible Santa! We'll have cute Christmas props to include, or you can bring your own! Sessions will be booked in the order they are requested, and invoices must be paid in 12 hours to hold your spot. Please comment, message me, or email me at [email protected] to book or if you have a preference of date. Times will be assigned when all the slots are booked.

Hello friends and clients! **FLASH SALE** It's hard to believe, but the Fall photo season is upon us. I always highly recommend you book your session for August, September, or October if you can. The weather is warmer, the day is longer, and you have it crossed off your list before the madness starts after Halloween :) To reward my early bird clients, I am offering very limited edition mini sessions. I already am about halfway booked from now until December, so I only have time to accommodate about 15 of these. Sessions will be awarded in the order I receive your message, comment here with email address, or at [email protected]. Invoices must be paid within 24 hours. *Clients who have a family session with me during fall will be given priority booking for my always sold-out Santa sessions

Coming to terms with the fact that I am the worst Facebook post-er ever. I'm going to be better, I mean it this time. Luckily I photographed about one million beautiful babies and families in the last three months, so I have lots of material :) We'll start with this guy because I. Can't. With. This. One.

It's so fun to be one! <3 Pretttyyyy sure this is an actual doll come to life. Not only did I get to document Autumn for adorable first year of life, she came to visit Santa with me as well! I just love her and her sweet family!

These angel boys steal my heart every time! It's so fun to watch them grow up! <3 <3
