Hello! I’m Marcela!

Hi, I’m Marcela Limon, a Certified Maternity Photographer proudly serving Oakland families since 2015. I’m dedicated to capturing the beauty and emotion of motherhood through timeless, heartfelt portraits.

I’ve won prestigious awards from international print competitions including WPPI and PPA where I earned my Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsmans degrees.

I’m passionate about continuing my education and helping move the industry forward for the benefit of both my clients and fellow photographers. For that reason, I’m honored to serve on the board of directors of Professional Photographers of America.

If you're looking for an Oakland maternity photographer that’s safe, artistic, and full of heart, I’d love to connect.

Marcela’s creativity and originality produced stunning photos. She used beautiful materials and inventive props, in addition to her endless supply of patience. We loved all the maternity photos and found it incredibly difficult to narrow down the choices!
