I’LL MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE.

There is no such thing as photos that are too real. Documenting your life exactly as it is is beautiful, and I won’t try to fit you into what I think a photograph should be. Overly-posed photos feel disingenuous, so let’s try something different. During our session, I’ll facilitate natural interactions and guide you from start to finish so we can capture moments that light you up and highlight what makes you, you. Those are memories you’ll want to keep, because they’re yours.

Your Love Story

DOCUMENTED AUTHENTICALLY

I want to help you freeze a moment in time of this beautiful life. To hold on to the love and joy that make up your unique family.

Your photo session should be more than photos. Together we will plan your dream experience that your family would enjoy. The photos will take you back to that adventure and will make you FEEL your love. Melt in the warm, snuggly embrace of your child, hear their sweet giggle, and sense that tight grip of their (still) little hand in yours. See yourself as the gorgeous and fun superhero mom that you are. Feel the freedom of exploring in nature together. Be the star of your own romance movie with your partner. I am a family photographer in Los Angeles and Orange County. Serving all of Southern California to include Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach.

welcome!

I’m Olesya, your Los Angeles and Orange County family photographer

My heart is filled with joy when I get to create beautiful art featuring you that stays on your walls and makes you smile because you FEEL THE LOVE. I believe that photo sessions should be fun for all and full of loving on your family and enjoying the environment together without the stress of looking at the camera. Clients say that I am patient, kind, playful and directive (but without overposing). I can’t wait to meet you and your kids and play and laugh with your family!

Regardless of the season that you're in, and whether your babies are big, small or furry, this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your iPhone. Family sessions were born from past wedding couples asking me to document their growing families and now I just can't get enough!
 
I love creating photos to remind families that in spite of the fact that the car of their floor is covered in cereal, their laundry room looks like an episode of hoarders and mom and dad are in a permanent state of exhaustion, their love and their story are beautiful. 
 
So let's plan a day, pick a location that is meaningful to you (or I can suggest some epic locations!) and create a slew of images that will fill up the frames on your walls for years to come.

I'm Morgen,

Hey friend

I basically grab your happiness and put it in a frame so that you can play your memories back and squeeze as much joy out of them as humanly possible. 

I’m the bare-foot, sunflower loving goof behind the camera here at Designed In Love Photography.  You know the love and joy you feel while you squeeze those tiny humans? Those moments you feel but can’t “see”?

Those are the scrumptious memories I’m capturing with my camera for ya.
I bet you're wondering what a session feels like.

I help create a safe & comfortable space to connect with your family so that you can experience those intimate moments of love through play. It's relaxed, fun and most importantly your kids can be kids!

Whether you’re a family just starting out or already have not-so-little feet following you around, I’m here to help you embrace the moment and capture beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

From the sun-drenched beaches to the vibrant urban landscapes, I love exploring the beauty of Southern California with you and your family.
