This gorgeous maternity session in the garden has me reliving this beautiful day! These two were such a joy to capture and their excitement came through in every photo. The outdoor space was an incredible spot for taking pregnancy portraits. Fun fact: it used to be the private residence of Ronald Reagan when he was governor of California.
Fitness is a big part of their lives so we incorporated some fun athletic outfits into their session. This stunning mama is an olympic trials qualifier and has run a 2:39 marathon!

The yard was bursting with greenery! And this fountain is stunning. It is the outdoor space of dreams!

The roses were blooming and positively glowed in the natural light. I love the way they look at one another in this photo! So much joy and expectation in their eyes as they await the arrival of their new baby.
