FOR orange county families
Our maternity sessions are designed for Orange County mothers who want to feel radiant, supported, and beautifully seen during this fleeting season.
Photographed in our bright, luxury Old Town Tustin studio or at one of Orange County’s beaches, open fields, parks.
As a full-service Orange County maternity photographer, we provide professional hair and makeup, access to our curated studio wardrobe, and fully guided posing so you never have to wonder what to do.
This is your time to slow down, be cared for, and document the beginning of your baby’s story with intention and elegance.
Our newborn sessions take place in our fully stocked Old Town Tustin studio, centrally located in Orange County for easy access from Irvine, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, and beyond.
As an experienced Orange County photographer with over 16 years of experience, I offer calm, baby-led sessions with no time pressure. Every detail is thoughtfully handled — from professional hair and makeup for mom to wardrobe for both mother and baby.
Your only job is to arrive and soak in the moment while we create timeless, heirloom imagery of your growing family.
From tummy time to sitting up and first birthday cake smashes, our Orange County milestone photography sessions capture every beautiful stage of your baby’s first year.
Held in our bright, Old Town Tustin studio, these sessions are simple, classic, and entirely stress-free. We design each milestone session to feel cohesive so your baby’s first year can be documented as a complete story — perfect for albums and custom artwork displayed in your home.
Everything is thoughtfully prepared so you can simply show up and enjoy the experience.
Whether in our light and airy Tustin studio or at one of Orange County’s beautiful outdoor locations, our family photography sessions are designed to feel effortless from beginning to end.
As a full-service Orange County family photographer, I guide you through wardrobe styling, provide access to our studio closet, and gently direct you during your session so your images feel natural — never stiff or forced. The result is refined, heartfelt portraits that reflect both connection and beauty, designed to become custom artwork in your home for generations.
You don’t have to manage the chaos. You get to be in the memories.
Jennifer has photographed our family through our son’s entire first year — maternity, newborn, 6 month, 9 month, and his first birthday cake smash — and we truly wouldn’t go anywhere else.
We originally found her while searching for a newborn photographer in Orange County, and she exceeded every expectation. Her sessions are baby-led and relaxed, which made such a difference as first-time parents.
The full-service experience is amazing. Professional hair and makeup and access to her client wardrobe meant I didn’t have to stress about anything. I just showed up.
What really sets her apart is the artwork. She helped us design albums and framed pieces that are now hanging in our home. These aren’t just digital images — they’re keepsakes.
If you’re looking for a maternity, newborn, or family photographer in Orange County, Jennifer is the best.
crystal m. -new mom in OC
Jennifer was incredible to work with from the very start.
We booked a package that included a maternity shoot, newborn shoot, 6mo and 1-yr cake-cutting, and all of the photos have turned out incredible!
It was such a breeze coordinating our sessions and so refreshing knowing that all details of the shoot would be taken care of (dress options for mom, adorable swaddles and outfits for baby, toys for siblings that needed to tag along, and such a welcoming and attentive environment).
We got so many beautiful photos back and will cherish the memories forever.
Her new studio in Tustin is darling and her photo packages are the perfect gift for any new parent!

Elizabeth M. - orange county mom
This morning, sitting on the couch in Jen's studio, I had tears in my eyes watching the slideshow of the pictures she took of our daughter.
Whether its the ease of communication in scheduling the session, or establishing a sequence for photographing, Jen helps with all the items leading up to the day of the session, leaving you to just savor the moment.
The pictures themselves are amazing, capturing the little details of the person, helping the personality shine... thank you Jen! Can't wait to schedule our other daughter's session!

HAILEY S. - GRADUATING SENIOR IN ORANGE COUNTY
My family of 6 had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Imus for a photoshoot, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Jen displayed professionalism, creativity, and an innate talent for capturing the essence of our family dynamics.
Jen's attention to detail truly made a difference in the outcome of the photos - she has an incredible eye for color schemes and styles, which beautifully harmonized with location we ultimately chose.
The shoot itself was a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that allowed us to be ourselves and interact naturally. Jen has a knack for capturing candid moments that truly encapsulated our family relationships.
The final product surpassed our expectations. Each photo was a work of art, meticulously composed and edited to perfection - these are images that we will cherish for a lifetime.
If you're looking for a photographer who not only takes amazing family photos, but also goes the extra mile to ensure every aspect of the experience is perfect, then look no further than Jennifer Imus Photography.
We wholeheartedly recommend Jen to anyone seeking timeless and beautiful family portraits.
KORI M. - ORANGE COUNTY MOM OF FOUR
We had the best experience ever working with Jennifer Imus Photography!
Our most recent photo shoot was an extended family shoot at the holidays. We had a large group with lots of specific shots we wanted to capture during our session.
Jen scouted the location before hand, finding us the most beautiful setting. She is very professional and kept the session flowing within our allotted time slot. She is also warm and friendly, which helped everyone relax for the pictures.
Jen took a mixture of posed and candid shots. I enjoy that not every photo is posed. The candid photos really show personality.
Did I mention how fun she is! We literally laughed our whole session. By the end of our shoot my cheeks hurt from laughing so much.
We have also used her for senior portraits for our daughter. We highly recommend her for all your photography needs. You won't be disappointed.
MOLLY H. - ORANGE COUNTY MOM OF THREE
We love Jennifer Imus Photography!
She has taken all of our family photos since our kids were little. She does an amazing job, she's patient and fun to work with.
She is always finding new and beautiful places for photos to be taken.
Our last photo shoot with her was for our daughter's senior year photos and what can I say, they all came out beautiful. We had so many different photos to choose from.
We highly recommend Jennifer Imus Photography.
KIM L. - MOM OF TWO GRADUATING SENIORS IN OC
I had a great experience with Jen!
She took family photos for my family who hasn’t been in the same place for three years. There was only one day we were all going to be together and Jen accommodated our date!
She was professional, skilled, but more importantly, fun and made everyone feel relaxed.
The photos turned out amazing, as did the framed prints that my mom and I ordered.
I am so happy we chose her to commemorate our time together. We will cherish the photographs, thank you Jen!
SAMANTHA T. - MOM OF TWO IN ORANGE COUNTY
Jennifer has been photographing our family for over 10 years. We have a wonderful family history through her lens.
She is not only professional, friendly & talented, but manages to get the best out of us even when my family (husband) may be a bit grumpy as not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera. She also has taken then best care of our 4 legged family multiple times.
I will say one of the best suggestions she has made is to put our family photos on the wall!
Her art work is priceless & we will continue to grow our Jennifer Imus collection!
NICKI S. - ORANGE COUNTY MOM OF TWO GRADUATING SENIORS
Jen Imus is such a pleasant and professional photographer.
She made our family session so comfortable and fun.
She helped us coordinate our outfits, hair and makeup, and the venue without a worry.
Most importantly, during our family session, she helped us relax and have a great time so that our photos would capture our family’s personalities.
