Maternity photos in the spring are one of my favorite sessions. There’s the excitement of the baby and the beautiful backgrounds and everything comes together so beautifully.
I drove down to Elk Grove for this shoot so that we could incorporate the family’s beautiful home. I got there a little early so I poked around the neighborhood looking for nice spots to take them to. Just down the street from their house was a driveway lined with pink blossoming trees. It was like heaven…

Such a gorgeous couple.
Big Sis is five years old and super excited about her new baby brother.

Then we found a mustard field which is so quintessentially spring. I love how the color of her dress pops up against the yellow flowers.
I love getting to know families like this before the baby arrives and then things are that much more intimate for the baby’s session. Can’t wait to see these three again soon!
