Melissa and Juan welcome a baby girl!

“A baby is God’s opinion that life should go on.” — Carl Sandburg

Melissa and Juan are expecting their second child. They have a gorgeous little boy together and were ecstatic to be expecting a daughter they are naming Mia Mor. I absolutely loved their creative name choice since ‘mi amor’ in Spanish means ‘my love.’ These baby bump/family photos turned out just as whimsical and fun as the Abrego family!

Nita’s new addition

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” ― Rajneesh

Nita and her husband are expecting their first child, a baby boy they are naming Nathaniel. This was one of the sweetest, most lovely sessions I’ve ever done. Nita and her husband were so loving and tender with each other, I just know their baby boy is being brought into the most beautiful, kindhearted home.

Selene and Alberto

Selene and Alberto were so relaxed and fun to photograph. They kept joking around with each other and their playfulness really came through in the photos.

Melissa and John’s Sunset Maternity Session – Baby Makes Four!

When I was told John and Melissa were expecting their second child I was so thrilled for them! I’d done mini-sessions with their daughter Delaney, but we hadn’t done a full portrait session since their engagement photos in 2010. When Melissa told me she wanted maternity photos I was beyond excited!

The weather was overcast, hot and humid – in other words a typical south Florida summer evening – but Melissa, John and Laney were all in great spirits and their session is one of my all time favorite maternity shoots!
