Post category:Beach Maternity Maternity Session

Terra & Kenyon, I met them back in May when we did a Gender reveal session at flower field. (You can view those photos from here ) They are so excited to have a baby girl and now mom's belly is really showing beautiful baby bump, it was time to do maternity session! I usually schedule maternity session between 30-35 weeks, not too early or not too close the due date ;-) I LOVE how belly looks in maxi dress, especially white dress for the beach session ! It was a warm evening and we had so much fun getting our feet wet. Sunset at the beach is so gorgeous and one of my favorite thing to do is create a silhouette portraits. Aren't they gorgeous? I especially LOVE the last one of Terra's silhouette portraits. I can't wait to meet their baby girl, Zoey soon!! How cute! They are so happy together and I can just feel it ;-) And their baby girl's name is Zoey. What a beautiful name ;-) This is our favorite and going up on their living room wall;-) Beautiful framed gallery wrapped canvas! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Do you remember him?? I can't believe Adin is 6 months old already! He has gorgeous eyes like his big sister Sabine and I had so much fun photographing him and his family. Sabine was having lots of fun splashing and throwing rocks in water! When I chose photo location for client, I usually recommend a couple different places depends on the theme like beach, greens, creeks, trees, etc. Mom selected this location in San Ramon because this is where Adin was born. I thought it was really sweet ;-) There are so many beautiful photo location in east bay and it's always fun to explore and discover new places which is perfect for milestone portraits, family portraits, etc. Adin is my Baby Collection client so I get to see him again when he turns ONE! Next session will be another pretty one with leave changing colors for Fall. Enjoy the pictures, mom and dad! Adin was 10 days old when I first photographed him. And look how much he has changed! Love this gorgeous smile ;-) Big sister Sabine looks like an angel with her white dress! This image is going up in their play room! So so sweet.

In Summer, I love to create portraits by water. I grew up by the beach so when I'm by water, it makes me happy ;-) I love to shoot close to sunset but it gets little tricky when sun doesn't go down till 8:30PM in Summer as that's usually around kids bedtime. But Alexa and her big sister, Ashley were so happy throughout the session and we were able to create beautiful portraits by the water, at Benicia Beach. Enjoy the rest of the Summer and enjoy the pictures, Mom and Dad!
