It is the year of the Stahl’s; with them getting married earlier March 2017, adopting Mr. Archie a few months before hand, and now 7 months later being pregnant with a gorgeous baby boy. We met back up at High Hill Ranch up in Placerville, Ca for Marlee’s maternity shoot; not just so I could buy an Apple Pie for Thanksgiving, but also because the sunsets you get amidst the apple trees are just gorgeous. It was such a pleasure getting to hang with their family again, and I swear Ava is growing like a weed. Still a dancer, and so many more sentences being said. I love this family, and can’t wait to meet their little boy Kylan whenever he decides to come.
Read MoreBrittany and Johnny were married at The Gardens at Los Robles, in Thousand Oaks, Ca and their wedding was just absolutely beautiful. When they celebrated their 1 year anniversary, they wanted a photo shoot at the same venue that they got married at exactly a year later! The day was full of some amazing surprises; starting with Johnny bringing their wedding vows. Something that Brittany did not know about! After re-enacting their ceremony site, their first kiss, and even a sunset picture next to the lake we called it a day. What both Johnny and I found out later though, was that Brittany was pregnant on this anniversary with a baby boy! I’m pretty sure surprise maternity shoots are my new favorite things.
Read MoreMama Needs a Cocktail is such a fun blog that featured the gorgeous Megan!
Megan and I were so absolutely blessed with not only finding some snow, but a beautiful roaring river in Truckee, California for her maternity session. The temperature was cold, and Megan battled the snow for her baby bump photos like a champion. We even were able to get a peak of sunset while shooting. Pink Blush Maternity made for the perfect outfit to match the beautiful environment.
I've always heard other photographers talk about how they just wanted to take their client's children home with them, and while I do love all of my clients, I didn't want to steal one until I met Aahana. This little princess steals your heart the second you meet her, and the entire time you can't help but find her laughter contagious. At a little over 2, I'll be surprised to if she doesn't continue to win all the hearts of those she meets as she grows older.
Read MoreI had so much fun meeting up with Summer for her maternity session at Henningsen Lotus Park in Lotus, Ca, otherwise know as Lotus Park. The American River was a beautiful backdrop for a beautiful mama to be, especially as a location that her and her hubby frequent often.
Read MoreI cannot believe that this little munchkin is officially 2 years old as of yesterday! I had the chance to see her before she was born in this beautiful mama's stomach, when she was born for her newborn photos, 6 months later for that, and these photos; from last Christmas.
She is growing up into such a beautiful little girl, and already exploring the world! Right now her and her parents are in France renovating they're family home, and I can only imagine the amazing experience they are all having!
Happy 2nd Birthday Avery!

I had the chance to photograph one of my gorgeous Santa Barbara brides from last September for her maternity session this past weekend! Erin and I traveled down to the picturesque coast of Laguna Beach, CA to capture her precious baby bump and were treated to the most perfect sunset.
Read MoreWith the birth of an absolute perfect baby girl named Tenley this morning, I thought it was due time to share a blog on Amy's maternity in Joshua Tree National Park, California. Chris and Amy's love of their soon to be first child was beyond apparent as we spent several hours in Joshua Tree enjoying not only the sunset, but the beautiful desert breeze.

Photographing the Bernatowicz family for their indoor newborn session in Los Angeles, California was so much fun, especially when you add in not only a cute newborn baby, but also a puppy. I was so blessed to get to photograph this amazing family and their newborn son Jackson for not only their newborn session, but several follow up sessions documenting his growth!
Check out this session featured on Grey Likes Baby!
I had the absolutely honor of photographing this gorgeous little girl after she was born. Avery is the perfect, and currently now walking, little girl of the owner of MomEtc. This entire session was such a blast, filled with simplicity and love. You can tell how smitten these new parents are, and it's not hard to see why!
