The Apprill Family
/Fun fact about this gorgeous family below… This beautiful momma is my bootcamp instructor! A few months ago one of my best friends and I found her class online and have been going regularly ever since. The best part about these workout classes is that we get to bring our babies with us! If you’re a new mom and looking for a fun workout class where no one judges you when your little one throws a fit, this is the class for you (just google Baby Boot Camp in SF). Enjoy the epic coastal views below!
Karriyma's Maternity Session
/This beautiful lady right here happens to be a dear friend of mine, and so it was very special to get to take her maternity photos last weekend. Karriyma and I were pregnant with our first babies at the same time (our daughters were born one month apart!) and now they are growing up together and play together often! We intended to take her photos at China Beach in San Francisco but on the day of our shoot it was very misty so we decided to head down to Stanford’s Dish Trail. Isn’t it a stunning location? I’ll never get tired of it!
The Vincent's Maui Maternity Session
/For those of you who have followed along on my journey as a photographer for a while, you will notice that I’ve photographed this beautiful couple multiple times! These two are dear friends of my husband and I, and when we took a friend-cation to Maui, of course I knew we’d do their maternity session there! I can’t wait to get some sweet newborn photos of their baby boy when he makes his debut! The last photo in this post was taken in Maui’s tropical “Jungle” at Honolua Bay and I must say, it is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places I’ve ever been. I hope you enjoy these sun soaked pictures as much as I do!
The Markman Family
/I had the pleasure of photographing the Markman’s maternity photos a couple months ago, so it was such a wild experience to photograph them again after they gave birth to their first baby! When I got to their home, baby boy was wide awake and totally ready for his photo shoot. As you’ll see below, he was such a happy camper the entire time and made our session so easy! I hope that in the years to come I’ll get to take some family photos of them around San Francisco!
The McCall Family
/I met the McCalls on one of my trips to Kona, Hawaii about a year ago. The first time we got together, I went surfing with this gorgeous mama that you’ll see below! I’m not much of a surfer, but it was fun pretending to be from Blue Crush for a minute! When I knew we’d be coming into town again this year, I quickly reached out to see if they’d be interested in shooting with me because… as you’ll see… they are such a fun loving family and how could I not take my camera to one of the prettiest places on Earth?! We had such a fun time. Halfway through the shoot, their youngest daughter was dancing and accidentally fell into the ocean. OK. That sounds worse than it actually was. It wasn’t deep where she slipped in, and she only got her bottom half wet before Dad came to the rescue! Besides that though, we really did have a perfect shoot and I will never get tired of Hawaiian escapades! Take me back!
