…if I could look like this the next time I’m pregnant, I’d want to stay pregnant forever. I guess I wouldn’t be the only lucky one, I’m pretty sure my better half would be very stoked, too – a sight for sore eyes, indeed. I had an amazing time shooting this maternity session. Not only is Iris extremely beautiful, but she’s so so sweet & so so cute – especially when she smiles and laughs, adorable! She’s one hot mama-to-be!
Hello! She sooo rocked this pregnancy shoot – she was posing, moving, totally open minded to my ideas! When clients are open, it really maximizes the benefits of having a custom photography session. These are the types of sessions that get me hyped up – excited – inspired! This is why I LOOOVE what I do…getting images like these. I think I get just as excited as my clients do about the images from our photo session!

And wowsers – I don’t think I need to explain much for this image:

So, it may look like we took a trip to the mountains, but we were actually just down the street from her house. It’s a hidden Los Angeles gem :) I loooved the droopy trees, wildly overgrown plants….and to make it even better – the sunlight filtering through the trees as it set was perfection. It was ideal for me – a sun flare junkie – I just love sun flare any time and all the time…morning, sunset, and even at high noon!

More flare….and my intentional out of focus shot (thank you to amazing photographer, Michele, of PinkleToes who was my inspiration for this shot) – I just love how it creates a soft silhouette of her beautiful belly.

And what better way to end a maternity session than with a little break on the lovely green grass :)


I’m clearly a sucker for colorful photos…but sometimes black and whites just get the message across more effectively. This session was so inspiring. Embracing natural light, shadows, angles…truly captures the miracle and beauty of the pregnant form.





Everything about this session was just dreamy. The sunlight, the wind, the cool air — and of course, mommy-to-be was absolutely dreamy herself. So dainty, delicate, pretty…and clearly glowing with love for daddy & baby.
Dreamy? Absolutely!

Stunning? YES

…waiting for their sweet baby girl to arrive

Mother & daughter…I just can’t wait to meet their new addition in just under 2 months :)


Pregnant, pretty and just glowing….





Only one word needed to describe this session. Mom-to-be was beautifully radiant…with such a perfect belly. There was something so natural and spiritual about mom and dad-to-be…They both embraced the miracle and beauty of pregnancy in such an organic and loving way…Their little girl is blessed to have such parents :)


..and I’m not just talking about her gorgeous red hair! With those pretty blue eyes & smile – I just know that her little one is going to be a cutie!





Spending the evening with a sweet couple and beautiful sunset is yet another reason why I love what I do…

It was a little tricky getting down into this cozy little spot for these – especially when you’re pregnant! Thanks, Jenn, for going along with this – I’m really diggin’ the resulting images!

Sun flare-perfect for maternity photography-and especially when you’re photographing a mommy as pretty as this.

Can’t wait to meet the little bundle of joy!!!


I’m officially smitten! The Art District in Santa Ana is a true hidden gem! I luuurve it! Spectacular architecture with old world charm as a backdrop for an amazingly beautiful couple is a photographer’s dream.






I’m really loving my great big image posts! Yay! Here’s precious little Adia – isn’t she just perfect??
