PICK YOUR STORY
Your family deserves to be documented — not performed.
When you work with Designed In Love Photography, you're not booking a package. You're choosing how your family's story gets told. Every family is different. Every connection looks different. And the moments that matter most deserve to be captured with intention, authenticity, and artistry.
That's why we don't do packages here. We do stories.
Pick yours.
THE EVERY DAY STORY
Before we even pick up a camera, we'll work together on styling that feels authentic to who you actually are. Not stiff, not costume-y, just intentional choices that serve the story you want to tell in your space. Think cohesive, relaxed, and real.
Then we show up and let life happen. We move at your pace. We let moments unfold naturally. And we capture the ordinary proof that this is what your family actually looks like — right now, in this season, in this home.
These sessions aren't rushed. They're intimate. They're real. And honestly? These tend to be the photos you reach for most when you need to remember what this season felt like.
Best for: Families who want their authentic, everyday life documented beautifully — without leaving home.
THE ADVENTURE STORY
Maybe that's the tennis court where your kid trains every Saturday. The museum you've visited so many times the staff knows your name. Your favorite hiking trail in the Temecula hills. The farmers market that became your Sunday tradition. The Home Depot run that somehow turned into a whole thing. Whatever your adventure is — we build your session around it.
Before your session, we'll work together on styling that honors your identity. Not costumes, not anything that feels forced — just intentional choices that say something true about who you are as a family. Then we show up where your life actually happens and document the real connection: your kids doing what they love, you present with them, no one performing for the camera.
This is the session for families who are done pretending they're a stock photo and ready to be documented as themselves.
Adventure sessions happen all over the Temecula Valley and Inland Empire — and throughout Southern California, including San Diego, Orange County, and beyond. Wherever your story lives, we'll document it there.
Best for: Families who want their personality, their passions, and their identity captured — not just their faces.
THE GLIMMER STORY
Open fields, soft light filtering through trees, that fairytale feeling — but still completely, unmistakably you. We choose locations that feel dreamy and a little magical: wildflower fields near Temecula, sun-drenched beaches, cathedral-like forests with dappled afternoon light. Before your session, we'll work together on styling that feels both romantic and authentic to your family — soft, intentional, beautiful without being overdone.
The Glimmer Story has a different energy than the others. It's more styled, more curated, more experience. There's space to breathe and time to settle in. Room for those slow, tender moments that tend to disappear in the rush of everyday life. Think less "stand here and smile" and more "we somehow ended up in a fairytale."
These are the photos that feel like a feeling. The ones you frame. The ones you pull out years from now and remember exactly how it felt to be right there, in that light, with your people.
Best for: Families who want dreamy, romantic, timeless images that feel like they belong in a storybook — because they kind of do.

Locations
DESIGNED IN LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY SERVES
**Location scouting is part of what we do.** For The Everyday Story, we document your life where it happens...in your home, in the spaces you actually inhabit. For The Adventure Story, we collaborate with you to find locations that honor your family's identity, the places where your people come alive, whether that's a favorite venue, activity space, or meaningful spot that tells your story. For The Glimmer Story, we hunt for the dreamiest outdoor locations: wild, natural spaces with soft light and authentic beauty. Think open fields, tree-lined paths, and landscapes that feel a little bit magical, never manicured, always intentional.
Whether you're looking for a family photographer in Temecula, a lifestyle newborn photographer in Murrieta, a maternity photographer in the Inland Empire, or a lifestyle photographer who will actually get your vibe, we're here. We specialize in lifestyle family photography, maternity photography, lifestyle newborn photography, and authentic family portraits that look like you, not a stock image.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay upfront?
Your Creative Experience Fee is paid in two parts: $100 to reserve your date, and $200 due one week before your session. Your collection payment is due at booking. If you need a payment plan for your collection, just ask — we'll figure it out together.
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR SESSIONS?
Yes. Our primary service area is Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Winchester, Riverside, and the greater Inland Empire. We also travel throughout Southern California — San Diego, Orange County, and beyond — for sessions that feel like the right fit. Travel details are discussed at inquiry.
DO YOU HELP WITH STYLING?
We sure do. Styling guidance is part of your Creative Experience Fee. Once you're booked, we'll work together on what your family wears so everything feels intentional, cohesive, and authentic to your story. You also have access to my client closet, which includes a curated selection of size-inclusive women's dresses available to borrow for your session.
How long are sessions?
I intentionally don't advertise session times because I don't believe in watching the clock while I'm with your family. Sessions are long enough for your kids to relax into it, for the real moments to show up, and for your story to actually be told. Not four hours. Not a frantic thirty minutes. The right amount of time for your family. We'll talk specifics during your creative consultation.
What if it rains or someone gets sick?
Life happens. We'll work together to reschedule. Your Creative Experience Fee secures your spot and transfers to your new date.
Can we bring our dog?
Absolutely yes. Every single time. Please bring the dog.
