What an absolute stunner of a mother-to-be! We went out for Gloria’s San Francisco sunset maternity shoot at 36 weeks, and this mommy couldn’t have been more full of life — she was as active as ever and didn’t mind moving around for the best photos at all! This shoot was actually a little bit amusing as I’m almost due myself, and people were looking at us as they watched this very pregnant momma being followed around by a very pregnant photographer 😀 I love how these came out and am so excited to share!

I had such a great time with Sophia during her maternity milk bath photo shoot. It was slow-paced (at least compared to the proposals and weddings I’m used to!), relaxing, and really enjoyable — we bonded as mothers between shots, and talked about our birth stories and other… motherly things.

We were beyond happy when we heard from Teryn and David a few months after their wedding, telling us that they were expecting an addition to the family! Fast forward to a few months later, we met them at one of our favorite spots, the Arastradero Preserve, for their maternity photos in Palo Alto. Oh my gosh did Teryn look stunning as usual, with that cute baby bump to remind us little Maxwell will be here in a couple of months! [ read more … ]

Baby Niles’s nursery is absolutely picture-perfect. Everything in his room is so cute and cohesive — letters, pictures, lots of elephants (Anna’s favorite animal), and their very protective puppy guarding baby Niles the whole time. [ read more … ]

It’s time for Leo’s half-year shoot! I’ve had so much fun watching Ruth’s family grow over the past few years, and with how fast kids grow up and change, every shoot has brought something new. Leo was such a cheerful little baby, and we all had a great time with these San Francisco beach family photos on a warm, sunny evening. [ read more … ]
