Allyson || Maternity

Sunday was the super bowl day. But I'm not much into watching games, I had waaaayyyyy more fun shooting Allyson's maternity session at her parents' house in south Sacramento. Previously I was a bit worried about the possibility of rain and cold weather that weekend. But it turned out that we literally picked the best day for her shoot. It was bright and sunny and the temperature was at the 60's here in Sac. It couldn't be any better in February.

Allyson is a glowing mom-to-be on her eighth month of pregnancy! She looks fresh and absolutely gorgeous. She was open to different ideas and we were able to play with many of them. We also had the perfect backdrop. Her parents' backyard was one of a kind! There was a koi pond, a little bridge, cactus, a huge palm tree(I love palm trees and I want one in my backyard) rocks, walkways, etc. I love how the pictures turned out. She looked like a Greek Goddess. So peaceful and beautiful! See her for yourself :))

So, what do you think?

Katarina || Maternity

Earlier today I headed out with Katarina and her family to a nearby park for her maternity shoot. The goal was also to have a lifestyle shoot with the Horton family to capture some happy family moments. Katarina and Joe are my neighbors(did I ever tell that I really like my neighbors??), and their little boy Nicholas is a super cutie pie! Kat is expecting her second baby in less than two months. This was my first maternity shoot ever, I had so much fun shooting!!! I hope they enjoyed as much as I did.

Here are a few quick edits for Katarina. The family portraits are soon to follow.

Little Nicholas was sad -
