I recently posted a sneak peek for this gorgeous expectant couple. When mom and dad arrived at the beach for their session I was so excited to shoot them. I loved the colors that they chose for their session and they were very relaxed and at ease infront of the camera. Made my job much easier. They are expecting their first child and it’s a girl!!! YEAH for the girls! I can’t wait to photography Baby “S” when she arrives. Mom brought some baby shoes to the session and told me that her mother actually made these shoes for her when she was a baby. I could not believe her mom made these little shoes…they are amazing as you’ll see below. I love stories like that and love when parents pass meaningful items along to their children. It just warms my heart! Here are a few shots from their beach maternity session with me!
Isn’t mom’s eyes stunning?

Gorgeous Mom to Be (Again) | Maternity Photography in Orange County
December 14, 2011
Isn’t this mom so beautiful? I loved hearing her and her husband talk about how they are still married after all these years. Yes, she is young and this is their second child. Their first child is already 12 years old. Isn’t that awesome? They were both so kind and so excited about their arrival. I can’t wait to meet their little girl! Just a little sneak peak for the “B” Family…

Awaiting Their Miracle….
June 15, 2011
I guess by now you might have suspected that I LOVE shooting at the beach? Some of you may know I am originally from Hawaii so that may explain my love for the beach and water. Something about the ocean air and vass skies that just make it so magical for me. It brings me so close to nature and all the wonders of the world and shooting this young expectant couple on a beach just makes it more spectacular for me. A gorgeous place and an amazing moment about to take place.
Now about this handsome couple….
I have been very fortunate to photograph such good looking expectant parents! You might remember my last beach maternity of the good looking young couple expecting twins? Well, these are their gorgeous friends! I guess the saying “Birds of a feather flock together” ring true in this case! Mom to be “D” was just glowing and I could tell how much she was looking forward to meeting her little baby. Dad to be “M” was full of personality and told me about jumping off cliffs at this beach….Lol. This couple was really fun to photograph. I loved the way they connected with eachother. Doesn’t she have a beautiful baby bump?
Thank you for stopping by and taking a peak of this beautiful beach maternity! I love reading comments so please feel free to tell me your thoughts! I’d love to hear them!
This first shot is my favorite shot of the session! I just LOVE it!
I love her expression here! She is so cute and look how gorgeous her belly bump is!

Magical Beach Maternity Session...
May 11, 2011
This maternity session was one of my favorite sessions. I just LOVE the beach! There is just something spiritual and so peaceful about it.
This good looking young couple wanted a beach maternity session before they left California to temporarily relocate. They were the sweetest couple ever! They are expecting twins in July…one boy and one girl! How perfect is that? It was so neat being around such a young couple that were so madly in love with eachother! I could see it in their eyes and the way they interacted with eachother. It was the first time I had been to this beach. There is no public beach access unless you swim there. It was very secluded and as you can see just spectacular!
After I shot the first image below I knew it would be a “magical” shot and I just could not wait to get home and process it! I love it! Ok, so are you just wondering how cute their newborn twins are going to be? Well I am! I am so sad that I won’t be taking their newborn photos. Come back to California “A & C”!! LOL!! Send me a photo of your twins when you deliver! I want to see them!!
I was so excited to find out that this session was being featured on Inspire Me Baby.
Visit my Facebook page and “like” me! I post my recent work and specials there!
