As a commercial lifestyle photographer based in Southern California, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of brands to bring their products to life.

One of my standout clients is WonderFold, a Los Angeles-based company known for their innovative stroller wagons and car seat attachments. I’ve been fortunate to work with them on multiple photoshoots, each focused on showcasing their products in real-life settings.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our collaboration!

The Beginning of a Wonderful Partnership

My journey with WonderFold began at the start of the year when they reached out to discuss their upcoming photoshoots. They shared their goals, needs, and mood boards, which immediately resonated with me.

Their vision was clear: create warm, approachable lifestyle photos that highlight their products in action with different families. After reviewing their shot lists, we signed on for our first shoot, and they have since become a repeat client. It’s been a delightful experience working with such a fantastic team.

Location Scouting: The Perfect Backdrop

Choosing the right locations for the photoshoots was crucial. Based on their needs, I selected Huntington Beach and Seal Beach, California, for their variety and accessibility. These locations provided the perfect blend of scenic beauty and practicality.

It was essential to minimize the amount of moving around, especially with the little ones in tow. The goal was to capture genuine, unstaged moments that reflect everyday adventures, and these locations offered just that.

The Photoshoot Experience: Fun with Families

Photoshoots with infants and toddlers can be challenging, but it’s all part of the fun. One of the key strategies is to have several little ones on hand to swap in and out as needed. Snacks and little treats to encourage them are also a big help.

Ensuring the children are happy and comfortable is paramount – after all, it’s no fun for anyone if they’re tired, hot, or need a break. The WonderFold team was incredibly supportive, making the shoot days enjoyable and smooth.

Bringing the Vision to Life

As the Creative Director, my role extended beyond the camera. I reviewed mood boards and shot lists ahead of time, suggesting props or outfits that would enhance the shoot. Timing and lighting were also critical considerations to ensure the photos had the right feel.

On the day of the shoot, I worked closely with the families, engaging with the kids and parents to capture those perfect moments of interaction that showcase the features of WonderFold’s products.

Working with WonderFold

WonderFold has been a dream client to work with. They provide valuable input on their shot lists beforehand and are proactive in making selections from the gallery to ensure they get the images they need.

Their commitment to capturing the essence of their brand makes the collaboration incredibly rewarding. Our shoot days are always filled with positivity and teamwork, making it a pleasure to bring their vision to life.
