Orange County Maternity Photography :: Lena + Johnny

I often talk about my work with hubby and that includes sharing tidbits about my awesome clients. When I received an email inquiry from Lena a few months back, I remember mentioning to him how genuine and sweet she sounds over email and I couldn’t wait to meet her in person. I call Lena my email crush! 😉 Lena found me through the wonderful world wide web and we didn’t meet until the day of her maternity shoot. Let me tell you, she’s even more lovely in person, if that’s possible!! I have booked several clients this way where we communicate mainly through emails until we meet for our session. I am beyond honored to have those who read my blog trust me enough through just viewing my photos and reading my words. So…thank you for that. 🙂

At the time Lena contacted me, she was about 5 months pregnant and we waited until she was 7 months into her pregnancy for maternity photos. We want to show off that beautiful baby bump! I love documenting a woman’s body during pregnancy because it signifies such a huge milestone in her life. This is the first baby for Lena and Johnny and we couldn’t be more happy for them.

Congratulations Lena and Johnny; you guys will make great parents! Their little princess Ella arrived a bit early…and she’s coming soon to a blog near you. 😉

Janice + Jeff :: Balboa Park & Coronado Beach Maternity Photos

It’s always a real pleasure when longtime friends trust me to document such important milestones in their lives. San Diego is home to J + J (and their soon-to-be-baby-J) so hubby and I made our way there a few weeks ago to photograph Janice and her beautiful belly. 😉  And really, a trip to San Diego is not complete without a stop at Phil’s BBQ but let’s not talk about that now because I might start drooling all over my keyboard.

We have recently started to experiment with film photography and the images below are from our very first roll of film (developed and scanned by Richard Photo Lab). I love the creamy and pastel tones of film and look forward to learning and shooting more film in the future!

Janice and Jeff, you are two amazingly kind, smart, and caring individuals…and I already know that baby J will be surrounded by so much love. I can’t wait for his joyous arrival (and then you guys can start working on baby #2!) 😉
