beach babe

Yes, you are seeing this post correctly. I had yet another maternity session. Four in a row (all first timers) and all 4 of these women were simply G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!

This is Elizabeth & her hubby Mark. Their session was at the beach, down in Carlsbad at the family's fabulous beach house. Elizabeth & Mark are a such a fun & stylish couple, not to mention good looking too. You could see and feel the love between them. They are expecting a baby boy in July and I am so excited for them. Boys rock!

E&M, enjoy your sneak peek!









See, I told you they were good looking.

Another gorgeous & glowing mama-to-be. This is my husband's sister, Betsy, who is due with her first child at the end of this month. I am a horrible sister-in-law because I completely forgot to post this sneak peek for her & her husband Brad. I am hanging my head in shame. Sorry guys. Enjoy!

Obviously they are having a little girl, named Riley. :)


The rest of the images were taken at the golf course where they were married last summer.




I'm pretty sure Betsy thought I was nuts when I asked her to go lay on the greens. I thought her outfit would look fabulous against the green grass and I was right!

glowing mama to be

I had the pleasure of photographing my beautiful friend Kristin, her husband Mark, and their pooch Kobe last week in Newport Beach. Kristin was so easy and a natural beauty. She has the perfect baby belly and she just GLOWS. I am sure baby Brooklynn will be beautiful just like her mama (and gramma too)! Enjoy your sneak peek!



Look at her glow!!






Gorgeous eyes.






Huge THANKS to my dear friends, Nicole & Pat, of Villa Rentals for letting us use one of your oceanfront rentals for this shoot. You guys are the best!!

hawt mama

I had the pleasure of photographing my gorgeous sister-in-law for her maternity portraits. Unfortunately due to my camera malfunctioning, I was forced to split the session this into two days and I pretty much learned that a backup camera was a necessity now.

I took over 200 hundred photos, so sorting, rating, and editing has been a daunting task and I have a ways to go. These were all taken on day 2 with my new backup camera...
