Santa Baby…Hurry Down the Chimney…~Santa Cruz Maternity Photographer

…TONIGHT!! Well, that’s what the expectant parents are hoping for! Their due date has come and gone and they certainly don’t want to be in the hospital on Christmas and miss out on all the family festivities, so, “SANTA, PLEASE MAKE THEIR DELIVERY TONIGHT!!”

We did their maternity photos a few weeks ago, but I couldn’t share these, because they were maybe going to use them for their Christmas card and I didn’t want to ruin the surprise, but they’ve decided to forego cards this year in hopes that their little one makes her appearance before Christmas!

I guess family and friends are just going to have to wait for their birth announcement! It will be good, I promise!

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m Aunt Renee to this couple and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Miss Paige!

Can you believe that this cute little baby bump is about to pop?? Seriously, only about 2 1/2 weeks to go! Isn’t she adorable? Ok, I might be a little biased…….she’s my niece! But still……she’s nothing but a little belly!

We finally got to doing a few maternity photos! Part of the photos are the “just in case the baby isn’t born Christmas card photo” but I can’t show those in case they need to use them as their card. Shhh, those are a secret and they are very cute! I will admit that I’m hoping for the call that we need to do some last minute card photos that include baby Paige!

In the meantime, here are a few “peaks” from their beach session! Dave, you are such a good sport and if any of the cousins happen to see these, I am so sorry!! Ok, I’m not sorry at all, because what goes around comes around, and Dave, you get all that you deserve

Oh sweet Jillian, you are adorable! And very soon to be a mommy!

I’ve been trying to recall how long I’ve know Jilly. I guess it’s been so long I can’t remember. I’d say at least 15 years. She really is like family! She’s a friend to my daughters, was a babysitter to our youngest (yep, sorry I had to mention that), has worked for us, is married to one of our managers, is best friends with cousins on both sides of the family. In fact, she’s so much like family that when we have family gatherings…her & her husband are usually there

Our first session got rained out so we had to squeeze her maternity session in between my two trips out of town, because she’s due basically anytime now! I know, you wouldn’t know by looking at her! She’s nothing but a baby bump!

We did our session at a local park, which was great because it offered numerous backdrops for us, but since there were youth soccer teams practicing and kids on the playground, we kept our session fairly simple. A walk around the lake, a few outfit changes and one adorable belly!

FYI, they’re expecting a girl!!

Jilly and Rob, I wish you many sweet blessings and congratulations on your soon to be little one!

More of the “M” Family~Santa Cruz Photographer

I’m not sure how or why, but I took more photos at this session and this family is going to get more proofs in their gallery than any other session. I’ve done a lot of great sessions in the past, but I even surprised myself this time! I’ve come to the conclusion that I LOVE beach sessions!
Here are a few of the family shots! I love the interaction that they had between each other, they are so obviously in love! I just love that!! I should have your gallery ready for you by the middle of the week, in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these!

And because he’s so CUTE, here’s one more of Jake!!

I had a beach session yesterday with the cutest family! I have so many images to sort through and proof! The “M” family was so much fun and their son Jake is ADORABLE!! They’re expecting another son “Andy” in a month or so. They were the funnest family to shoot and were up for running, jumping and getting wet!

While this was a maternity/family session, it was hard not to focus on Jake! Just look at him, isn’t he gorgeous? His lashes are to die for! Although sitting still for me wasn’t in his agenda for the day, I think I still got some great shots! One more thing about Jake, he was “oh so sweet and polite!” I got lots of thank-yous (I brought the sand-bucket to play with) and of course a big good-bye hug!

Here’s one for now, I’ll be adding a few more “sneak peaks” as I get them edited. I hope you like them!

Baby Bump!

Look at this cute tummy! I had the pleasure of taking some maternity photos for Gabe & Sabra. We took them around noon and the sun was BRIGHT, but they were agreeable to make themselves cozy in the couple feet of shade that we did find. I figured it was only appropriate to give Sabra a quick sneak peak of their session on Mother’s Day! Enjoy and Happy Mother’s Day!

Hey Big Girl!!

That’s what these girls call Kendyll, “Big Girl.” Kendyll just loves these girls and obviously they love her too! They showered her with a little Pizza, Cupcake and Baby Love! I’m telling you, little B is going to be the best dressed little guy in town! Thank you girls (and moms) for being your awesome selves! Just a little side note: Kendyll’s been coaching some of these girls since the summer she met her husband (back when they were the little kids of the club) and since girls will be girls, even back then they wanted K & J to date. Now three years later, they’re all offering to babysit!

Thank you Mothers and Daughters!

Four weeks and counting……….

Isn’t this about the cutest tummy ever?? I may be a little partial since she’s my daughter, but just look at that tummy! She’s just a bundle of baby! While I loved taking baby shower photos and these, I’m ready for Baby B to make his entrance into the world!
