We ended their engagement session on the beach, so they really wanted a beach maternity session as well! It was so great seeing and hanging out with these guys again. I’m excited and honored to be able to watch their family grow!
Since this is their second child, they decided to have a family maternity session and include little Isla with them. It took her a little bit to get into taking photos, but once she did she couldn’t stop smiling!
They got married at Sahuaro Ranch Park and we also did their first maternity session there as well. This time they had a family maternity session there. We do a few recreations of certain photos each time and then go on from there. I love that everyone was involved in the maternity session, it makes it so much fun!
They originally wanted a beach maternity session. As we got closer, they thought about adding another location to add in some flowers. So we started out at Torrey Pines where the fields were filled with gorgeous yellow flowers and then we headed down to Windansea beach. The beach was extremely cold and windy, but they were great sports about it!
They wanted an outdoor maternity session that didn’t look totally like the desert. So we went to the Gilbert Riparian Preserve, where even though it’s desert scenery a lot of it can not look totally like the desert! I photographed their engagement session, wedding, and now maternity. I can’t wait for their birth session and newborn session!
There is an awesome bridge in the middle of the desert and it’s actually located in a gorgeous area with a body of water and desert scenery! I’ve always wanted to take pictures there. So when Erika asked if we could shoot there, I was all for it!! The only downside is that it was loaded down with mosquitos. Check out this awesome desert maternity session below!
I’ve known these guys for quite some time now! We drove up to Oak Creek together to take their maternity session pictures and then enjoyed some lunch at the brewery after. The weather was much nicer up there and the food was great! Little Beckett had a short attention span, but we still got a few cute pictures with him as well!
I met the LaPradd family many years ago with their engagement session. Allison always has ideas for her sessions and I loved her ideas for this fun and romantic maternity session! It fits their personality perfectly!!
I photographed their wedding a few years ago. So when they asked me to take family and maternity portraits for them, I was extremely excited to meet their son and see them again! The second part of this session is actually where we photographed their engagement session. She loved the spot so much and thought it would be perfect for maternity photos. I totally agree! The wind was a little crazy that day, but it was perfect for the dress she picked out!
I photographed their wedding a couple of years ago and love watching their family grow!!
