Maternity Session

Lindsey’s maternity session! Expecting 3rd baby ~ Benicia, East Bay, Maternity, Family portraits photographer~

Does she look so gorgeous?  Mom is expecting her 3rd baby in late August.  She told that they never done any maternity portraits or newborn portraits and she wanted to capture this special moment since she is not planning 4th baby.  They are expecting a baby girl, name " Claire" and mom had such a cute idea of photographing her belly and name blocks together.  I love how the image came out and this is going to be displayed in nursery room with her newborn portraits together.  It's going to look SUPER cute!! I'm so excited for Claire's newborn session and having lots of cute ideas ;-)  Mom signed up for my most popular package, Baby Collection so I get to watch her growing up through my lens for her first year and hopefully years and years. Enjoy the pictures!   These are the final products beautifully displayed in client's house!!!

Stacie’s maternity session | Walnut Creek, Livermore, East Bay San Francisco maternity photographer

It was a windy evening but the lighting was perfect ;-)  I have been photographing Stacie's family for almost 2 years.  My first session with them was her daughter, Malia's 1 year's old portrait, then 2 years old portrait last September.  As you can tell, Malia has the cutest clothes!  Now, they are expecting 2nd baby in August, we did a maternity session ;-)  All Malia wanted to do was running around so I chased her everywhere she went ;-)   I'm in love with this first image where she is kissing her mommy.  So sweet!  Can't wait for a newborn session, we have lots of fun idea and it's going to be so cute!    Enjoy the pictures, mom and dad!   Love this one!!

Terra & Kenyon, Gender Reveal Session, Walnut Creek, East Bay, San Francisco, Maternity Photographer

I was so excited when I received a phone call from Terra.  She called me two days before her Dr. appointment to find out the gender of the baby and she had this fun idea of capturing the moments when they find out if it's boy or girl.  Terra had Dr. wrote down the gender in the closed envelope, she took it to The Balloon Man in Walnut Creek.  When I went to pick up this HUGE box filled with the balloon, I had to ask them if it's pink or blue.... ;-)  As I was transporting this box to the session location,  I was trying SO HARD not to say " she" when I refer to the baby when I was talking with Terra & Kenyon. As we are all walking together, Terra and Kenyon told me how much they were excited for this session and also mentioned that they wanted a GIRL.   Since I already knew it's a girl, I couldn't wait to see their face when the box was opened.  They were so emotional and I was, too.  I was clicking away shot in tears because I could feel how happy Terra and Kenyon were.   Terra and Kenyon created a " gender reveal announcement card" to send out to their family members!  What a fun and cute idea!!   We will be meeting in August again for maternity session then newborn session once their baby GIRL is born. Thank you so much…
