Filoli Maternity Photos with Hydrangeas

Filoli is a historic mansion and garden located in Woodside, California. The owners leaned into European inspiration for the gardens, and you’ll see lots of brick pathways, stone gates, and geometric order. I photograph about 65% of my sessions at Filoli since it’s the perfect place for refined and elevated family photos. Although there tend to be a lot of photographers, the grounds are big enough for everyone to spread out, helping the session feel private. If you’re interested in booking a Filoli family photo session, feel free to contact me here!

With easy parking, restrooms, paved walkways and a cafeteria (in case photos make you hungry!) Filoli blends beauty with accessibility. With a family membership, I am able to get all my clients in for free, as long as our group does not exceed 6 people. It comes in handy as admission prices are over $35/adult.

This session was so special because the mom-to-be is a longtime friend of an old client of mine. Filoli was an easy choice for her maternity photos and her dress matched perfectly with the hydrangea garden (blooms summer-late summer).
