This session was really a dream to shoot. We had beautiful weather, a gorgeous couple, and whole lot of excitement for baby Brody. Add to that boats, a little wind and a wonderful sunset, and you have all the ingredients for a favorite.
Stephanie and Brad choose this location because they grew up in the area and loved this little pier. I love that. And I love their clear and obvious love for each other.
Just a very quick peak at a session I did earlier this summer for a lovely couple. It’s so foggy and rainy these days that I couldn’t resist posting just a bit of summer sun.
Amber, you were glowing. I hope motherhood is treating you well!

The drive from my house to Palo Alto isn’t all that far. It takes about an hour if there isn’t any traffic. Palo Alto is a gorgeous city. It’s home to Stanford, gorgeous little bungalow homes (With quite a few custom mansions mixed in), there are parks and gardens galore, and my personal favorites – Kara’s Cupcakes and Paper Source. For whatever reason, I don’t make it over there nearly often enough. So when Lindsy asked if we could shoot her maternity session at Gamble Gardens, I jumped at the change to head over to that side of the Bay.
Lindsy’s session was so much fun. The Garden’s have an entire section dedicated to the new seedlings. There were everything from little fruit trees to mini succulents all lined up and waiting to be put into the earth. Logan, Lindsy’s adorable toddler, ran tirelessly up and down the rows yelling “smell, smell”. It was really the perfect location for all of us.
Lindsy, I can’t wait to meet baby McLeod #2. I hope he has just as much glorious red hair as Logan.
You are glowing Lindsy. I know you may be almost done, but pregnancy really suits you!

Stephanie and Brad are two of my favorite people. For real. Stephanie is my magician of a hairstylist. She makes me pretty on a bi-monthly basis, and for that, I’m beyond grateful. Stephanie met Brad in high school (Hello fairytale romance!), and now they’re expecting Baby Brody this fall.
My favorite part about these two? They let me drag them through the marshland near the Martinez marina. And they didn’t complain once! In fact, they even let me back into their car after I fell into the water. Oh yes, you read that right. Me and my big mouth fell into the super stinky, nature breeding waters of the Martinez marsh. I still swear it was worth it.
I can’t to meet little Brody.
Oh. And Brody’s room has a locker in it. As in, a really high school locker. How cool is that!?
You are gorgeous Stephanie, really and truly. I can’t wait for October!

This little girl is a pretty lucky baby. Her parents are funny, really funny. The love they have for each other and for her already is indescribable. And they may not be a baby out there whose parents are more excited to me her.
Kori and Brian met at a party in college and from the details I’ve heard, they knew almost immediately that they were meant for each other. And really, I’m not sure I’ve met a couple more perfect for each other. From the jokes they told to the stories one would start and the other would finish, they just had a way about them. They were game for anything and everything I asked them to do, and never complained when I stuck them waist deep in wet grass. (I love it when clients trust me!) We dodged rain, dark clouds and freezing wind, but I am so excited about what we got. And Kori, you are simply stunning. You make a gorgeous pregnant lady!
Thank you Kori and Brien for being game for anything and everything. I had a blast in our makeshift flower patch.

As I come up on my child’s first birthday, I’m starting to reminisce fondly on my pregnancy. I really, really enjoyed being pregnant, feeling the kicks, bonding with the little life inside me, and just relishing in the fact that for that little while, I was all he had. I’m not quite ready to start thinking about more children for myself, but I’ve noticed that I’m really enjoying my recent maternity sessions. I find a pregnant woman to be incredibly beautiful, lush, and fascinating.
Rachel’s session was doubly fun because her daughter S was one vivacious and happy little girl. She was meant to be in front of a camera! We had a ball rearranging her living room to create an in home studio, jumping on the bed, and even basking in bubble baths, all for the sake of some gorgeous lifestyle images. Thank you Rachel, for letting me into your home and allowing me to get to know your beautiful family.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I have wonderful friends and terrific clients. Jenni and I have been friends for a long time and I’m so excited to share her maternity pictures. Plus, she let me try something that may not have normally been her style. (Because she’s an awesome person!)
Jenni and Justin are having their first baby in the fall and were nice enough to let me lead them through snake infested fields. (No joke!) They believed me when I told them that ‘it would be totally cool if you laid on the ground in your nice skirt”. And they didn’t even bat an eyelash when I mentioned laying across the table touching a porta-potty. Troopers I tell ya!
Thank you J&J for believing me! I can’t wait to meet baby girl T.
