I had a great time photographing this beautiful momma-to-be and her hubby at the park last week. This couple kept me laughing the whole shoot, I kept forgetting I was there to work! Here are just a few of my favorites from their lovely shoot, enjoy!
Los Angeles Pregnancy ...
The Ultimate Prenatal Date Night! {Berlin Wellness Los Angeles}
I've been to A TON of pregnancy and mommy events in my day both professionally as a vendor and/or photographer and now personally as an expecting mommy. They all claim to have the best vendors, raffles, give-aways, speakers, and food but I finally feel compelled to share one with you all!
When Dr. Berlin found out we were finally expecting he reached out and invited my husband and I to attend the "ultimate prenatal date night" they hold in Santa Monica. I'd seen posts about it on facebook and was interested in going so I excitedly said yes. I knew it was a couples event and it was at a comedy club, that was about it. I had no idea how much fun was in store for us...
The night started out with HYSTERICAL comedians (I mean it... they were truly "laugh-out-loud-I-may-have-just-wet-myself" funny) all joking about pregnancy, birth and raising children from their own first-hand experiences. Sprinkled throughout were games, improv sets, lots of trips to the nearby bathroom by all the pregnant mommies, and finally a daddy "boot-camp" and a mommy "what to REALLY expect" discussion group by the ladies at BINI Birth. It was a night of great laughter, delicious food (thanks to Mother Bee's), the best non-alcoholic sangria ever (many MANY thanks to Mr. Slocom) and amazing community.
Thanks Dr. B and the whole team for organizing this amazing event that helped me lose sight of all the worry and anxiety that comes along with being a first-time mommy... even for just a few hours.
We rarely get "personal" or endorse things on this blog but I really wanted reach out and encourage all expecting mommies and their partners to attend this event during your pregnancy for a fun night out. The next event is on August 12th but space is limited to 20 couples so act fast! If you miss one, there's always the next one...
Oh, and we won a Britax car seat. That was the cherry on top :)
I'm going to be an Auntie! {Shameless Aunt Photographer Los Angeles}
The title says it all and I couldn't be more excited. My brother and sister are going to be parents in just a few short weeks (yes, my sister is ALL BELLY... too bad we aren't blood related). I flew back to North Carolina last week to host my sister's shower and of course had to fit in a quick session to document how freaking adorable she is :) Here are a few of my favorite photos of two of my best friends and soon-to-be the best parents, enjoy!
Since I was hosting the baby shower I didn't have much time to document it but I did manage to snap a few fun ones, here's a glimpse of my sister's shower :)
Lovely & Expecting (and Stylish!!!) {Los Angeles Maternity Photos}
This lil' Mama was such a joy to capture - not only is she glowing like crrraaazy, but she and her hubby were so fun to be around and are so smitten with one another and thrilled about their little bundle on the way, well, it makes my job so easy! And, not to mention - she had fabulous wardrobe and if you are also wondering how in the world she got her home to look so fashionable...she also happens to be a super-talented interior designer. Love it. Enjoy the sneak peek :)
Beautiful Helen {Orange County Pregnancy Photographer}
I photographed Helen and Jackie this month in Orange County as they were expecting their first baby together. Helen is totally radiant and the evening's sunset was just as beautiful. Here are a few of my favorite images from her recent session... enjoy!
