Mammoth Lakes Maternity Photography

Ashley and DJ wanted to take Mammoth Lakes Maternity photos to document their babies growth in a place they love—the mountains. We started by walking trails in the forest by Shady Rest Park and ended with sunset at a local overlook. This is one location I go to when the wind picks up. The moment you enter the trees, all is calm. We started out trying for a location in the Lakes Basin but had to change locations last minute and I am so glad we ended up in these woods!

People often ask what the best season in Mammoth Lakes is. My favorite time to be in Mammoth Lakes is in the summertime when the lakes are snow-free and trails stretch out for miles. However many people prefer to come in the Fall or Winter seasons. There is something for everyone out here! Click here to find the best season to visit Mammoth Lakes!

Desert Paintbrush Photography specializes in working with people. This can be for weddings or elopements in Mammoth Lakes or documenting life changes like this maternity photoshoot. No matter what you want photos of, we can be sure to make it a fun, stress-free, photoshoot.
