Sacramento Maternity Photographer | Hoi Mei

Hoi Mei is the cutest pregnant woman. She first contacted me a few weeks ago for a maternity session and I am so happy we were able to meet before she has her baby boy! She was 38 weeks and adorable at her maternity. We met in the Mission District of San Francisco where she met her fiancé, and she found the best alley full of murals for us. The light was perfect and the two of them were perfect. After spending some time wandering the street and smiling with tourists and laughing with all the neighborhood kids riding their bikes we headed out to the coast. I had been warned San Francisco has been incredibly foggy, and about a mile down the road I hit a wall of fog. The coast was blustery and cold and damp but absolutely amazing and gorgeous and windy and honestly perfect. I adore weather. I mean, in California we have summer and summer and winter so to this valley girl the fog is awesome. I love love loved shooting there and Hoi Mei was the best model. Her pink dress blew softly in the wind, the way these two looked at each other…again, perfect. I cannot thank them enough for having me out to take these photos for them and I am so excited for their newborn session later this month!!

Sacramento Intimate In Home Maternity Photographer | Andrea

Andrea and her husband welcomed me into their beautiful craftsman home in Sacramento, and I discovered the best pockets of light to show off her beautiful belly during her maternity session. Their style was subdued and classic. I could immediately tell they are purposeful and respect simple beauty and timelessness. They are excitedly expecting their first baby girl this summer, and their home is abuzz with anticipation for her arrival. The occasional glimpse of a baby item mixed with their belongings lets visitors know they are preparing for her arrival.

Andrea positively glows with an effortless grace. She radiates the kind of calm I wish to always have with my children, and I can tell she is going to be a wonderful mama. I was so happy to hear she feels wonderful, is having a perfectly uneventful pregnancy, and I wish her the best for a smooth delivery.

I am looking forward to meeting their sweet girl very soon, and cannot wait to go back and take her photograph. Her parent’s arms are waiting.

Sacramento Maternity Photographer | Corinne

This is Corinne, my sweet friend. She is hilarious, kind, a yoga-pant loving, dog person, candy-holic (like me), and also happens to be an amazing family and baby photographer. We got together with our friend Jo (who shoots weddings with me and I with her) and our kids for a girl’s trip to the beach. Of course, when three photographers get together we take a few photos. Her third baby is due in a few short weeks and I am beyond excited for her family. This little girl brewing in her belly is incredibly loved, wanted, and was a prayer in the distance for a long time. I am so happy she is getting her third baby for her older two to dote on and spoil. I am certain this little girl will never want for anything!

We went out right at sunset and ran around like crazy people in the sand. This was steps from our beach house in Watsonville. It was shenanigans, but that is just how we operate. I think I laughed the entire time I was photographing her. Jo was running around beside me shooting as well, and as a team we gave Corinne (this camera shy gal) some fun photos to remember her baby belly. Corinne found this awesome beach house and I am so looking forward to making this a yearly trip. Perhaps we shall get some photos of her baby next fall, a little 9 month ball of energy we are sure to experience next trip.

Then we went back and had an amazing dinner I cooked. Peaches and prosciutto, steak, crusty bread. Good friends, good food, good times. Thanks Corinne for letting me take your picture 🙂 you are a dear and are going to rock it as a mom of three! Congrats love, I wish you all the best!San Francisco beach maternity photo session SanFranciscoMaternityPhotographer-001SanFranciscoMaternityPhotographer-002SanFranciscoMaternityPhotographer-003SanFranciscoMaternityPhotographer-004
