Thursday! I don’t really know why, but I certainly love Thursdays! Maybe has something to do with the end of the week and all the coming weekend shoots we have to look forward to, especially this weekend. I thought that today I’d change things up a bit and share with you a maternity shoot we did recently. We don’t do maternity pictures very often, but Emily and Brett are great friends and fellow photogs and we were honored to capture such a beautiful time in their lives. Maternity pictures are so fun and totally different than our normal shoots (don’t normally focus on any growing bellies when shooting weddings and engagements). So it was fun to branch out and practice our maternity shooting muscles and have a blast experimenting with the Faulknors. Seriously, we love you two and can’t wait to meet baby North VERY SOON! Enjoy!

Faulknors are always a good time (even when 9 months pregnant!)

That Brett sure can jump high!

Happy Monday my friends! I am currently in bed battling the flu, so I hope your Monday is going better than mine! I won’t let the flu get me down though, still gotta have that Monday blog post! I am however going to make this short, pictures do all the talking anyways right? We recently had the opportunity to do a maternity session for one of our favorite couples, Kevin & Sierra. We shot their wedding, and now their maternity session and SOON we’ll take some pictures of their little boy. They were down for doing something different so we grabbed our couch and lamp and headed to the wilderness (well, as wilderness as you can get in San Diego). We ended the night with a trip to El Indio, so I’d say it was a successful evening. Don’t believe me? Just take a look below! Alright, back to bed I go. Have a fabulous week my friends and keep an eye out for those cards we’re sending out (give me your address if you haven’t already!).

Hello internet friends!!! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are feeling fresh and ready to face the week. Rico and I had two shoots this last weekend, one family shoot (15 people! So much fun and can’t wait to share) and also a lovely engagement shoot in Pasadena with our new friends Amanda and Paul (stay tuned for that blog post….you won’t want to miss it).  I even found some time on Saturday to hang out by the pool where I managed to get COMPLETELY sunburned. All in an effort to be a little less whiter than snow when I wear my black bridesmaid dress for one of my best friends’ weddings in July (Carleigh, my love for you is evident by the RED covering my back…well worth it for sure!). OK OK, enough about the state of my skin, onward to the fabulous post I have for you today!

A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to do a maternity shoot with the lovely Jenni and her beautiful family. She and Jason have a son who is 18 months old (see cuteness below) named Tanner, who, as you’ll see below, was very helpful in pointing out just exactly where his little baby sister was….I’m almost died from cute overload, I’m serious. Jenni, Jason, and Tanner, you were all such a blast to work with and we CANNOT WAIT to spend time with you again in September for your family session!

“Where’s the baby Tanner?”

“I know, I keep forgetting….where’s that baby again Tanner?!!” (so helpful)

Hmmm….Jenni wins this one, sorry Jason.
