Family Maternity Photos at the Beach - The Francis Family

Macy is our rainbow baby. We got pregnant with her immediately after an early miscarriage. I felt a little disconnected in the beginning of her pregnancy. I was honestly a little mad that she had “taken the spot” of the baby we lost. I couldn’t understand it, and I didn’t feel the healing I thought I would by getting pregnant again. It didn’t feel real. I was grateful to be pregnant again, grateful my baby was healthy - but I lacked the connection.

Group Mommy & Me Session - Laguna Moms

Group Mommy and Me Sessions are where it is at! I have done it twice now and I’m really thinking about making this a consistent package I offer. We simply get a group of mommy friends and their babies together for a play date, set up a cute little backdrop or studio paper - either outside, or in a bright room in the house. Each mom and her kiddos take turns with short 10 minute sessions, capturing their sweet connections. All meanwhile the other kiddos and moms get to play together!

Creative Loft Motherhood Session - with Sally Martinez Photography

Sally is not only an amazing mother, she is also an amazing photographer that I am so lucky to create with. I am forever grateful for the moments she captured when my Macy was born, and these last nursing photos.

Laguna Beach Mommy & Me Session - Chandler Higginson

This was part of a group Mommy & Me session down in Laguna. But I had to highlight Chandler and her sweet babies because she is the best friend that I never knew I needed!

Fresh 48 Hospital Newborn Photos - Corona CA, Macy

These pictures of our sweet newborn in our home mean the world to me. The way Daddy holds the family, and way the brother giggles when he looks at his new sister. The way Sally captured me holding our sweet new little girl, and all of the helping hands.
