Maternity photos at the Arastradero Preserve is like a combination made for each other: the golden sunset light, the gently rolling hills, and the soft fields of grass create a perfect setting to show off the beauty of motherhood. I’ve been lucky enough to have known Tiffany since high school and to have followed her life journey through so many important events [ read more … ]

Despite all that 2020 has brought us, this year still has its bright spots. Amy is expecting in the next few weeks (yay!), and we went out for a maternity photo shoot to memorialize the joy and anticipation of her pregnancy journey. Since she and her husband are leaving San Francisco, we chose to take her maternity photos at Baker Beach, right in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. This was a maternity and family session mixed into one, made extra fun by little Benji 🙂

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 … ]
