Cathy Murai Photography

WE LOVE OUR BABY PIX! Cathy gave a very high-touch, personalized experience that I can't overstate. She takes extra care to make sure you are comfortable at each stage of the process. Cathy has the tools to identify exactly what you want, whether that’s a specific wall gallery, or a color palette you need to match, Cathy makes it happen. She is also very warm and welcoming which made the whole family feel relaxed. And helps to make the most cherished memories for you and your little one.

"Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! She is amazing!!!! My husband and I are very happy with the pictures and loved the fact that she is very professional! Cathy was so sweet over the phone and over email before I actually had the chance to meet her in person, she communicated with me very well. i booked photo session last minute and she managed to give me time from her busy schedule.she was so patient with my 2weeks old baby boy who was very fussy on the day of photoshoot. I will recommend Cathy to anyone and everyone and can't wait to use her for future sessions!" ~ Thank you Cathy for capturing my little

Cathy’s skill and professionalism is unmatched! It was my third kid so not my first time with newborn pics but she made this experience stand out as such a breeze capturing precious memories that your family will cherish for a lifetime. She has an immaculate studio that has every prop you can possibly think of. I don’t think I’ve ever met such a creative and detailed photographer. She is so gentle with the newborns to get them extra comfy in order to photograph beautifully. I only wish I had known her before but continue to highly recommend her to all my friends and family. I recently recommended

I am so happy we found Cathy Murai Photography to capture our daughter’s newborn photos. From the moment we connected virtually, Cathy was responsive, reassuring and incredibly flexible to meet my needs as a FTM in the thick of postpartum recovery. Her a la carte pricing made it easy for me to plan our budget and it was so much fun to shop through her selection of props, materials and backdrops to match our nursery theme. Cathy’s incredible attention to detail went beyond her photography session, her studio is clean, well organized, warm and inviting - she even greeted us with a beverage and

As a first time mom and mother of twins, all I wanted was to capture the beginning moments of my girls. Babies grow so fast and I wanted to remember them during their newborn stage. I'm so happy we found Cathy to capture these moments for us! Cathy works out of her home where she has made it comfortable for us and our girls. She even has a snack and beverage station to keep mom and dad comfortable during the session. Here are some of the things we loved about our session:
COVID Protocols:
She has great COVID protocols including cleaning of all props and swaddles after each session, one session

Let me just start by saying, I am so so SO glad that I chose Cathy to take our Maternity & Newborn photos!!! I had not taken neither one for my first baby girl who’s 6yrs old now, so it was really important for me to get them done this time around. Cathy made the whole experience so fun for us!
I wasn’t feeling so great during the last part of my pregnancy, with round ligament pain and a rare type of fibroid pain. Cathy was so caring and made sure that I felt comfortable during my whole maternity photo session. She even managed to somehow make me feel and look beautiful :) Cathy is great with

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
I was concerned that my baby girl was doing okay during the photo shoot. Cathy was working for my baby very well so my girl looked like relaxing so I had great works because of her!! it was very memorable moment and precious time. Highly recommend!!

If you are looking for one of the best newborn photographers in Orange County I already found her for you.
One of my biggest worries about getting newborn pictures taken was if my son was going to be too fussy and not cooperate. That fear was alleviated by Cathy's techniques to calm him down. As a new mom myself she inadvertently taught me some tricks of how to soothe and calm him down. :) My baby did great, I said going into the session that I would be happy even if we just got one or two pictures but we got several good ones.
One of my favorite things

I had my daughter's first birthday photo session with Cathy. I'm very happy with the quality of photos she provided us. Her perfectionism, paying attention to detail makes every photo an art work. I'm very happy with her work and appreciate her professionalism. I took my second daughter photo session with her. Still, very happy with the results. I'm going back to her with my 3rd child soon. Highly recommended.

Cathy is very friendly, punctual and professional. This year was our second time having photo session with her, and Cathy made sure the place was clean to follow COVID 19 safety guidelines to keep us all safe.
My children (8 years old son & 5 years old daughter) were shy in the beginning, but Cathy made the experience enjoyable and stress free.
I’m very happy with our photos. Cathy pays attention to detail during editing process, and I felt that she understood my requests. I highly recommend her!
