Los Angeles Beach Maternity Photos at Point Dume Malibu

A romantic golden hour session by the sea (with their dog, of course)

When I say this Malibu maternity session felt like a dream, I’m not exaggerating. From the glowing mama-to-be to their sweet pup trotting along the shore, Point Dume gave us the perfect canvas for a soft, romantic session by the sea. Some sessions just feel like a dream from start to finish… this one, set against the cliffs and waves of Point Dume in Malibu, absolutely did. From the moment we arrived, the light was magic, the air was warm, and this couple’s energy was so full of love and ease. It was one of those evenings where everything aligned, the kind you want to bottle up forever.

They brought their sweet pup along (who looked so cute in a matching leash set from this Los Angeles pet brand), and we wandered the shoreline, played in the sand, and caught that perfect golden hour glow as it poured across the rocks. If you’re looking for the best beach for maternity photos in Malibu, Point Dume gives you soft cliffs, ocean drama, and peaceful tucked-away corners that feel cinematic without the crowds.

Outfits matter for beach sessions, and the set she wore was simple, stunning, and moved beautifully in the ocean breeze. We even wrapped the session by climbing onto the rocks and letting the waves splash up around them… salty, soaked, laughing, and glowing. It's not just about the photos; it's about the memory of making them.

For anyone dreaming of Malibu beach portraits or wondering where to take maternity photos in Los Angeles, this is your sign to get sandy, bring your dog, and embrace the moment. You don’t need a perfect pose, you just need someone who sees the love already glowing in your story.
