Had to do another collage for sweet Iliana’s session. Don’t these colors look so pretty together?! It had been a while since I had a baby girl in the studio after a run of boys so it was fun using all the girly colors and stuff again 🩷😍

Happy Monday! Just over here completing my row of Ruby red ♥️ These satin fabric tosses are quickly becoming a favorite look of mine and I have so many colors to choose from.

I found out this beautiful girl’s mama was pregnant with her when she was picking up her album from big brother’s cake smash. *cue epic maternity session planning!* This newborn session was much anticipated and I love how it turned out! Thank you for trusting me to capture these important milestones for your family! ❤️

It’s the year of the dragon! And isn’t this the cutest ‘lil dragon you ever did see?

I’m on a Spring Break adventure this week with my family and we’ve had a jam packed week! Started in Niagara Falls to witness the Eclipse then flew to Denver to sightsee for a few days and now headed back to California on an overnight train through the Colorado Rocky mountains 😅. It’s been amazing but I can’t wait to be back in my studio again with a few brand new babes this coming week ❤️

I think this big brother was excited to meet his new baby sister!

Looking forward to having this family back to the studio on Monday for her newborn session ❤️

Anyone else traveling to see the eclipse? I’m sitting at the airport waiting for our flight to Toronto. The plan is to see the eclipse at Niagara Falls! Hoping the weather cooperates!

And how adorable are these kiddos?! They were so sweet with their new baby brother 😍.

This sweet lil poppet. Needed some pink on my grid!🎀

Having a baby? Let’s chat! My schedule is filling up and I only book a limited number of sessions a month. I hate turning away last minute inquiries after baby is already born so I highly encourage you to book while you’re in your second trimester! Please inquire through the contact form on my website.

She will never again be tiny enough to fit in her daddy’s hands. 🫶

Also, go 49ers!!

This little cutie! I can’t believe I haven’t posted any images from her session. She was so expressive and didn’t want to miss a thing! 😍

It’s so hard for me to remember my pregnancies now. I have a handful of nice photos (especially with my then toddler) but at nearly 11 & 12 years ago my iPhone photos were pretty bad so I have to rely mostly my memory. And I for sure don’t remember feeling glamorous or beautiful. My fuzzy selfies definitely don’t give that vibe lol. I wish my 29year old self had the opportunity to get glammed up and photographed in a way that I could not only remember how my body looked at that point in time but love the way I looked! It is what it is because maternity photography wasn’t really much of a thing back then, not like all the options for amazing photography mama’s have available to them these days! Don’t be like me and not have gorgeous photos of yourself to look back on 10-20 years from now! No excuses mama’s, you’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t!

Pregnancy is such an amazing stage of life. I always feel so honored when I’m entrusted with the task of capturing these fleeting memories for my clients. I want them to remember how incredible they looked and how they glowed with that new life growing inside of them.

This shoot with this incredible woman was all about trying some new things including some more creative lighting set ups and I really really love the results! I will be sharing lots more from this session!

This session! 🖤🔥🖤

My first post for 2024! New Year’s resolution: Post more! lol. Let’s see if I can keep it up!!

Isn’t this mama stunning??! I was really torn whether to post the color or b&w versions from this set so I included both. Which is your favorite?

These two cuties.

The last 4 months have been only boys! And I love a good bear bonnet and stuffy combo like on this super cute little guy but I’m not gonna lie, I’m missing using little bow headbands and girly colors. And few more boys on the schedule coming up! Where are all the baby girls at? 🤷‍♀️

And how gorgeous is my new prop from ? 😍
