FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES

I just finished processing Marika and Dean's in home maternity session and I could not be any happier with the result.  Marika had a perfect pregnancy glow and looked stunning in every shot. Their home is impeccable. It looked as if it was straight out of interior design magazines.  The light was amazing thanks to the large windows and tall ceilings.  This maternity session was perfect in every way.

About the Session

As soon as I walked through the door, the beauty of their home amazed me. With it's tall ceilings, and windows on every side, the light was soft yet bright enough. I wanted to showcase the stunning details of the living room and bedroom and that is where we spent most of our time. Marika's outfits were amazing. They fit snug and allowed the belly to be the focus of every image.  The love between Marika and Dean and their beaming excitement of what is to come in the following weeks was prevalent. I hope it translates well into these images.

I can't wait to photograph the newborn session.  Enjoy!

It was such a great occasion to document my client's moment in life when there is so much joy and anticipation. Their baby girl is on the way and the wait is almost over.I loved meeting this sweet couple who moved recently from Japan and made Walnut Creek their home. I visited Japan last year and we had much to chat about during our session. Also, one of their best friends is from Croatia and knowing this always strikes a special nostalgic nerve within me. It felt as we became instant friends during our short two hours together.

For this maternity session we headed to one of my favorite locations in the East Bay, Borges Ranch. This location offers the rustic barn feel but also has beautiful fields surrounding it. Golden hour was fast approaching as we got to the last part of the session and that is when some of my favorite images were created.

I am so excited to meet this beautiful little girl in the future. Enjoy !!!
