Peekaboo! {Sacramento and Santa Rosa Maternity and Baby Photographer}

And that's it! Just a cute little Peekaboo belly at 8 months! I loved this shoot with some dear friends of ours. She is beautiful and 8 months pregnant (she started out very tiny, so haters step aside...she is healthy and eating just fine :) ! He was our best man at our wedding. It's so wonderful to be able to share this time in their life with them. The anticipation of their sweet little girl to come is just so exciting! We can't wait to meet her this August!

Yes, she can still do this! She is an avid Yoga aficionado and still goes as much as she is able. I must admit, her getting into this pose made me gasp, but she did it with grace and beauty. And where is the baby belly?  Here in the next photo:

Their home in Santa Rosa was a great starting venue for some beautiful shots of her alone and with her handsome hubby.

Then we ventured off in the wine country to find some more vineyards and found this pretty field after some off-roading and rock climbing. Seriously. But it was all safe. Really.

I just love photographing pregnant women. It is such a miracle and an amazing and wonderful time to capture.

I had to throw in some more yoga poses. We did these the next morning at her home. Stunning.

 

Thanks for such a fun and wonderful session! I can't wait to come back soon and meet your sweet little miracle and capture her for all to see!

BabyQ - Waiting for Baby J {Santa Rosa Maternity & Newborn Photographer}

  Last weekend, we enjoyed one of the sunny days in Northern California outside. We went to a lovely "BabyQ", a family friendly bbq baby shower for some friends that are expecting a baby at the beginning of August. I am honored that they have chosen me to capture some maternity images in a couple weeks and their sweet baby girl when she comes in just a couple months. But at the BabyQ, it was fun to capture a little sneak peak of the miracle on the way and the people welcoming her into this world.

 Here are the gorgeous Mom & Dad, followed by some fun images of friends at the celebration.

 

 

 They also asked me to make the cupcakes for the party. I haven't yet posted them on my sweets blog, but here's a little sneak peek. They were Cookies and Cream and Red Velvet topped with Cream Cheese Vanilla Buttercream. The toppers were also made by yours truly out of fondant. Yum!!

 Here is the lovely hostess, Sweet L. So enjoyed getting to know her and chat with her about her upcoming wedding!

 

 Loved this capture of Mom and Dad...and baby bump to boot...

Mom is a fellow lover of all things sweet and I was so pleased with her the enjoyment of the cupcakes :)
