Our Sunshine

“Three things remain with us from paradise: stars, flowers and children.” — Dante Alighieri

Estella – our star – came along at a unique time. Our pandemic baby was truly a surprising gift, Estella is less than sixteen months younger than her older sister Avalon. We are so grateful to have her in our lives, and I wanted some portraits to remind me of this special pregnancy.

Lissette’s new bundle of joy

“Life is a flame that is always burning itself out, but it catches fire again every time a child is born.” — George Bernard Shaw

Lissette wanted a maternity session for her second pregnancy. I like taking time not just to photograph the expectant mother, but the entire family. We were able to get some really sweet family photos of Lissette, her husband and oldest son during her shoot.

Jo and Carlos – Ecstatically Expecting!

I met JoJo in high school. She was a bright, beautiful, outspoken girl back then and when she contacted me to take her maternity photos I was so excited to see her! She is even more gorgeous then she was as a teen, and one of the most stunning pregnant women I’ve ever photographed. The term ‘glowing’ doesn’t even do her justice, she looked ethereal.

Upon meeting her husband Carlos, it was obvious why they are such a perfect fit. They’re both hysterically funny, energetic people, and very much in love. The affection they feel for each other is palpable in many of the photos.

I think between all the laughter the three of us shared we managed to capture some truly meaningful photos of this special time in Jo and Carlos’ life. I can’t wait to meet their baby girl!
