waiting for baby | sacramento maternity photographer

This holiday weekend I met up with a gorgeous mommy to be and her beautiful family in Davis. The weather was perfect–finally cooling down from the 100+ streak we’ve had and the lighting was spectacular. I had so much fun getting to know them and can’t wait to meet their new little girl in August. She’s so lucky to be part of this loving family and to have such a great big sister who will no doubt be a huge help. I just loved this bridge and had to get an image of the three of them on it. Turns out it must be a creative eye thing because my close friend and fellow photographer actually captured virtually the same image during a session she did at the arboretum that same day. I absolutely love all the green, the flowers, and the rustic feel of the bridge. Great scenery!This next image is one of my new favorites (I know I say that every session, but my clients are just so beautiful!). I love the blue background and the ground cover at their feet. And it was no small feat to get this image! We had to dodge a nesting mother duck and avoid her getting too upset with us (Dad, thanks for being such a good sport!) But it was well worth it to capture this image of Mom and Dad.When clients ask what they should wear to a session I always tell them how much I love photographing color. I really like when their outfits just pop and compliment one another. This next image is a perfect example of that. Mom’s gorgeous orange dress has just a hint of color that’s pulled out into Dad’s shirt. I love how they match, but don’t have to be wearing the same thing to coordinate.
And just because Mom is so beautiful, I had to include some of just her (and baby of course!)Mom and Dad–thank you so much for meeting me on Sunday and allowing me the opportunity to photograph this amazing time in your lives. I can’t wait to meet your new little girl in August! Your full gallery will be up within the week. In the meantime, enjoy your sneak peek!
