Designed In Love Photography
My name is Morgen Hooper and I'm a portrait & family photographer based in sunny Southern California. I have clients in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Bernadino all the way down to Carlsbad and Palm Springs! It's my goal to fill each photo session with love and laughter in order to capture fun memories that you will look back on for years to come.

Give me all the color! If you are looking for a fun and creative lifestyle photo session, you are in the right place! I look forward to working with you! Maternity and newborn photos are so special! They capture the love, anticipation, and joy that comes with new life. Don't miss the opportunity to leave this legacy for your child and document just how much they were loved before and after birth!

My name is Morgen Hooper and I'm the goof behind the camera. I know, goof is a weird way to introduce yourself on a professional website but I want you to get to know me. I love to have fun while I'm capturing moments because those are the ones I think we all remember most. I'll still tell you to stand up straight and tilt your chin so no one knows how much you enjoy tacos (I love them too), but you won't feel posed or stiff!
Call me old fashioned but I'd really like to chat with you! Once you complete the inquiry form I will reach out via email or text to see if you're game set up a phone call or zoom chat. It's important that we vibe so you get the most out of your session, so don't hesitate to give me all the juicy details!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! First things first if your considering Morgen just stop now and book her ! You won't regret it. From the time I was looking for a photographer to the time I received my gallery I couldn't of been happier with Morgen. She is so easy to talk to asks lots of questions to get to know you and the vibe you're looking for. I felt like we were friends by the end of our shoot. She called me before I booked her and helped me decide on which package to do and so much more! She is SO good with babies she got my little guy all swaddled up and to stop

Morgen is a wonderful photographer to work with! She is extremely kind and easy going, which helps to ease your nerves if you’re nervous about your shoot. We did family photos with a 1 year old and it was actually fun! Her prices were very reasonable and her photos were beautiful! My husband and I cried when we got them back! I highly recommend Morgen!

I am over the moon in love with these pictures. Morgen is magic. I was super nervous and apprehensive about this photo shoot since my daughter is 18 months and I never know how the day would go with her haha. Morgen was very relaxing and easygoing and set my crazy neurotic mind at ease. Sure, my daughter had moments where she was super cranky, but Morgen just went with the flow. So glad that I found you and will continue with your services in the future :)

Morgen is amazing! I am pretty shy when it comes to taking pictures but she helped me be more comfortable in front of the camera and got great graduation pictures for me! Thank you Morgen!

Love Morgen!! She did a photo shoot with me and my family last November and did such a great job. She's very friendly but also quite professional. She also worked quickly which was nice. We got amazing pictures of all the family including our two (hard to photograph) pups.

Morgan is the best at what she does! She reached out to my business to work together on food photography. She is very professional, draws up a contract, punctual, and delivers amazing photos!

Morgen is really good at what she does! My boyfriend and I both get a bit nervous and awkward behind the camera but she made us feel so natural and eased our nerves! Our pictures turned out beautifully and got me and my man to fall in love all over again. Definitely hit her up for your next photo shoot!!

Morgen did a photo shoot with my family at our home in November 2019. She was amazing!! I found her on Facebook group that I am on and she was very quick with an initial response. Her follow through to set up the shoot was also excellent. She came to our house on time and got everything done in around an hour. The photos turned out wonderful. I used one on our Holiday card and everyone LOVED it. I would highly recommend Morgen!!

I met Morgen on a Facebook group when she was looking for a hair/makeup artist to collaborate with and I am so happy we connected. From the minute we chatted I knew we would get along great. She has such a great energy, personality, and is very easy to get along with. The day of the shoot I was able to observe her with her clients and noticed her professionalism. She makes them feel very comfortable and at the same time they have fun with her. I loved watching her work her magic. She is very fast with her turn around time and not to mention her work in unbelievably beautiful. I have worked with

This was my first time ever taking professional pictures and did not know what to expect. I have to say that Morgen exceeded my wildest expectations and I am extremely happy I decided to take these pictures. She made us feel extremely comfortable and we had a blast taking our maternity pictures. As someone who had never taken pictures before I enjoyed the whole process and was super happy with the final product of both our maternity and newborn pictures. Morgen has this amazing ability to capture such a special moment in our lives and I just loved how she captured our love. Apart from this Morgen

Morgen did a super cute boho themed spring photo shoot for my little girl, and we are just thrilled with how the images came out! She is sooo good with littles, and a real talent with the camera. I can't wait until she does my graduation photos for me!

I met Morgen from a facebook post in a moms group desperately trying to find a maternity photographer that fit my needs and I am SO glad I did!! I booked her for a maternity session and a fresh 48 session at the hospital. Morgen was super helpful in finding us the right location for our maternity session and eased my mind about coming out of my comfort zone of the standard nature shoots and did the most beautiful job capturing my family at the beach! For my fresh 48 shoot, I was nervous because my son decided to make his debut 2 weeks early but Morgen didn't hesitate when I texted her, simply

Morgen (the owner) was absolutely AMAZING!!! From the moment I inquired about her services she showed genuine interest, provided ideas and gave her feedback. She was ALWAYS available to assist. On the day of my photoshoot I met Morgen for the first time in person but felt as if we already knew each other and has built relationship! The studio was beautiful and Morgen even surprised me with a few extra props that she just knew I'd love! And I really did LOVE THEM. The photoshoot was very fun and not rushed. My photos were EVERYTHING I wanted & imagined they would be. My images were ready
