It was such a pleasure seeing this beautiful Bay Area family again for their maternity session while they await the arrival of their baby girl! Her due date is actually next week so I definitely needed to share these adorable images first before she gets here!! I loved working with Shannon to style this maternity session– these are quickly becoming one of my favorite types of sessions to capture. It’s just such an amazing time for families and that pregnancy glow shines strongly in every woman I’ve met– this Mama especially! I loved that during the session she told me that this made her feel beautiful! It made my heart sing– because sometimes {especially in subsequent pregnancies} you forget about the magic. The magic of building a new family member. Because it’s tough to when you’ve got other littles to care for. I’ve totally been there. And for many women, pregnancy isn’t anywhere close to what they would describe as magical. So it’s such a dream come to true to create and plan sessions where the magic can be nurtured and embraced– if only for the short 1 to 1.5 hours.
And what I love most about this session is the images not only celebrate the arrival of a fourth, I felt like they also celebrate the current three so well! So enjoy some of my favorites from this maternity session! And a huge thanks to Daddy and big brother who were awesome assistants during our solo mama time!
