A stunning couple. A beautiful location. This outdoor sunset maternity session was just perfect with these two, who are expecting their first baby in April. They were up for walking around, so we made stops by the elegant eucalyptus trees in the grassy spring field…

And stood in the river, surrounded by the blue-gray river rocks…

And waded into the grassy field, being bathed in the gloriously warm and golden sunset light..

We topped it off with a family picture of them and their first “baby” under the budding spring trees.

What a fun couple! I’m so happy for them and the new addition to the family!
