Newborn & Maternity Photographer Serving Port Moody, BC

Port Moody’s mix of waterfront trails around Rocky Point Park and its close-knit “Brewers Row” community has made it one of the most livable small cities in the Lower Mainland — and while it has its own local photographers, some Port Moody families make the trip out to our Mission studio for a different kind of experience.

We’re based in Mission, roughly 45 minutes from Port Moody, and we welcome families for newborn, maternity, self-portrait, and family sessions.

Why Some Port Moody Families Make the Drive

We won’t pretend Port Moody doesn’t have great photographers of its own — it does. But families who choose us specifically mention a few things: a studio on an actual working farm property, with real, open parking (no navigating downtown Port Moody traffic or paid lots with a newborn in tow), and a photographer, Cecilia Benitez, with 9+ years focused specifically on newborn and maternity work.

What makes the trip worthwhile for Port Moody families:

A dedicated, controlled studio environment

consistent warmth, lighting, and newborn safety equipment.

Unhurried sessions

paced around your baby, not a tight studio schedule.

Everything provided

props, wraps, gowns, and backdrops included.

One studio for every stage

maternity, newborn, self-portraits, and family portraits all in one relaxed setting.

Simple, flexible delivery

email, AirDrop, or bring a USB, with your gallery ready in about 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions — Port Moody Families

Expecting? Consider booking a maternity session before baby arrives to capture your pregnancy too.

Fair question, and one we’re happy to answer honestly. Some families specifically want the farm-property studio setting, easy parking, and Cecilia’s newborn-focused experience. If a shorter local option makes more sense for your family, we understand completely, but if you’d like to talk through what a session with us looks like, we’re happy to chat first.

Around 45 minutes depending on traffic. Many families treat it as a relaxed outing rather than a quick errand.

Yes, many families book their maternity session with us first, then return for their newborn session once baby arrives.

Yes, though we recommend booking as early as possible – ideally before birth – so we can hold a flexible date within your baby’s first two weeks.
