Had to the pleasure of hanging out with Alyce and Edel this weekend for a beautiful family/ maternity photo session.  They are such a wonderful couple and have the most beautiful child, Lila.  Can't wait to see the new addition!

We found a nice spot close by and set up camp.  The shoot went flawlessly.  Alyce was super prepared with everything from Sprinkles cupcakes and chocolate milk to tents and pillows.  

Here is a sample of our shoot.  I have to say, the images were amazing.

Marti is someone I can’t help but think of as family.  I only met her for a consultation just a few days prior to the shoot.  However, her warm and welcoming personality just can’t be denied.  

We started with a few simple head shots to warm her up to the camera.  After only a few shots, it was all fun, laughs, and some good salsa music.  We followed with a mini-family portrait session which included her hubby, children and her two awesome dogs.  

Final outcome?  Images that show her personality.

Moona and Levi's favorite place was the setting for this session, beautiful La Jolla, CA.  It was the setting for one of my favorite images that I've ever taken.

Not only did we get to take great images, we got to hang out with an amazing couple awaiting their first child, Eden Belle.  What a beautiful name.  

Levi turned out to be quite the tour guide.
