YOUR LAGUNA BEACH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
SAVOR THE LITTLE MOMENTS WITH JESSICA HADERLIE.
Document Your Family’s Story in Laguna Beach, CA
If you’re looking for a family photographer in Laguna Beach, you probably want more than posed portraits. You want images that feel genuine, connected, and true to this season of your life. My approach is centered on capturing natural interaction and timeless moments that reflect who your family truly is.
Family photography preserves the stages that pass by far too quickly. Whether you’re documenting little ones, updating annual portraits, or celebrating a milestone, professional photos allow you to hold onto this chapter exactly as it is. The laughter, the movement, the closeness — those are the moments that matter most.
As a Laguna Beach family photographer, I combine gentle direction with documentary storytelling so your session feels relaxed and effortless. I photograph in both digital and film, creating warm, refined images you’ll treasure for years to come.
What to Expect From Your Family Photography Session
With more than 15 years of experience photographing families throughout Orange County, I’ve refined my approach so you can feel confident and at ease from the start. When you book with me as your family photographer in Laguna Beach, we’ll begin by choosing a setting that feels natural to your family and reflects your lifestyle and personality.
During your session, I provide gentle direction to ensure you have a few beautifully composed portraits, but most of our time is spent allowing real moments to unfold. I use prompts instead of stiff poses, encouraging movement and connection so your images feel authentic rather than staged. I focus on observing your interactions and documenting the laughter, closeness, and emotion that make your family unique.
I’ve worked with families of all shapes and sizes, and my priority is always to create a relaxed, comfortable environment where everyone feels seen. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to highlight your family’s connection and personality. The result is a curated gallery of refined, timeless images you’ll proudly display and look back on with love.

“Her attention to detail is second to none. She was great at arranging the family and communicated so well. Love how everything turned out.”

“Jessica is the absolute best! The family photos she shot for us are the best we've ever had captured of our family. They are truly stunning and gallery wall worthy to be cherished forever!! There are so many favorites it's going to take me a moment to figure out which ones we are going to frame! We wanted a more candid take on traditional family photos and she delivered exactly the style we were hoping for. The booking process and meet up was seamless and Jessica is the sweetest to work with! Our kids had the best time too. I'm so so thankful and can't wait to shoot with her again next year.”

“Jessica is truly talented at her craft. I booked a family session with Jessica and right from the start, she made us feel so comfortable. She was so patient and good at getting my very active 2 year old son having fun and laughing. Jessica took her time during our session and captured my family so beautifully. We are beyond happy with how the photos turned out and will cherish them forever. I have already booked an upcoming maternity session with Jessica and I can’t wait to see the beautiful moments that she captures!”
