Irvine family photographer Mariusz Jeglinski creates relaxed, natural family and newborn portraits. Patient, playful approach puts children and parents at ease.
Mariusz Jeglinski of Family Portraits Orange County is a dedicated family photographer based in Irvine, GB, who specialises in capturing the warmth, joy and small moments that make a family unique. With a calm, down-to-earth manner and years of experience working with babies, children and busy families, Mariusz builds sessions that feel natural rather than staged — the kind of images you’ll want on your walls for years to come. Why choose Mariusz? His work centres on relaxed, timeless family portraiture. He knows how to create a comfortable atmosphere so everyone — from toddlers to grandparents (and even family dogs) — can be themselves. Reviewers often praise his ability to direct gently, draw out genuine expressions and keep sessions fun and stress-free. That skill matters: it produces authentic photos that reflect real relationships instead of forced smiles. Approach and process: every shoot begins with a conversation about what matters to you — favourite locations, wardrobe ideas and any special moments you want to preserve. For newborns, Mariusz brings the studio to your home so you don’t need to travel; those in-home sessions (best in the earliest weeks) are paced around the baby’s needs and styled with the props and outfits you prefer. For families, he offers relaxed on-location sessions at beaches, parks or neighbourhood spots as well as shorter mini-sessions for holiday cards and quick updates. Maternity photography is a core part of his offering as well — Mariusz aims to capture the glow, connection and tender anticipation of this special time, using natural light and simple, elegant styling to keep the focus on you and your family. While family and maternity are Mariusz’s primary focus, he also accepts portrait and event work when it complements his practice. Whatever the session, his promise is the same: patient, playful guidance, attentive planning and carefully crafted images that feel like you. If you’re in Irvine or the surrounding area and want family photography that emphasises real moments and lasting style, Mariusz is available to help you create portraits you’ll cherish.
