Maternity Session at John Muir Hospital & newborn life style session in Walnut Creek

Mom contacted me for a maternity session, we were planning to meet at park in Walnut Creek then I received another email that mom was in John Muir  hospital in Walnut Creek for bed rest.  She told me that she didn't have any photos of her belly and photos with her older daughter and husband and she asked me  I could photograph her family at hospital.
