Glowing Mama-To-Be - San Diego Maternity Photographer

I shot my first maternity session this weekend, and I can honestly say I think it's one of my favorites to do... There is just something sooo beautiful about a pregnant woman. I had Natalie, the wonderful FRO from Benjie's old unit, be my model, and wow, she looked gorgeous! Alaina, my SIL, did her hair and makeup and she helped assist me on location. If you read my blog regularly, you know I just adore her! Of course, she did an awesome job as always. For this shoot, I wanted to do something different than the same ol' maternity portraits people get done. I wanted something unique, creative, and most of all showcase the beauty of a mother carrying a life inside of her. The lighting was gorgeous and perfect for that golden "glow" I was striving for. The ocean swell was still big from the past week of non-stop storm which turned out AWESOME. We had some laughs (we thought seals were coming into our cave we were shooting in), a LARGE audience, and a lady trying to steal some pictures of Natalie! Hahah. All in all, we came out with some very angelic and peaceful portraits that I am very proud of. Thank you Natalie for braving the cold, WINTER sea breeze for these. I can't wait to see your little princess!!! Here are a few of my favorites...okay, I admit more than a few. There were just a lot of great shots, I couldn't pick! Enjoy!
