The only way I can describe this gorgeous maternity session is “sun drenched”. It was such an incredible beautiful summer day in Carmel Valley, and Stephanie absolutely glowed! I love all the pockets of beautiful light Garland Ranch has. There are so many little spots that are just perfect for maternity portraits. We started out […]

Salinas Maternity Photography Field

This Salinas maternity photo session was a part of a project that I had been dreaming of doing for years! I wanted to film a video that showed my photographing from maternity to newborn. I love this Salinas location so much, but I don’t take many pregnant moms up this hill cause its about a […]
