Anna & Etan’s Stanford Cactus Garden Maternity Photos

I always love seeing love and families grow as the years go by, and getting to photograph Anna and Etan again was a wonderful delight. Six years ago, we were by the ocean for their engagement shoot, and now it’s time for them to welcome their first baby into the family.

This time we traded waves for desert vibes at the Stanford Cactus Garden in Palo Alto, with golden light filtering through towering cacti and agaves all around us. Anna looked incredible in her flowing blue dress, and the two of them were all smiles, soaking in this quiet, excited season right before everything changes in the best way.
