I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon in San Francisco this past Sunday photographing the cutest little belly! Seriously, she does not look like she is 8 months along. In fact, her due date is exactly one month from today! We (my husband and I) met up with Matty & Kate mid morning. I was hoping for a little more fog or cloud coverage, because although it was quite chilly, it was bright and sunny! Not great for photos mid day, but sometimes it is what it is and you make the best of it. They had a couple of great locations picked out which was fun because all I know of San Francisco is Union Square and ATT Park. After photos, we had a great late lunch at the best little neighborhood cafe! Everything was delicious, especially Kate’s smoked salmon breakfast pizza. Oh my delicious goodness!
I could go on and on about this couple, explaining their cute little love story, how he’s a East coast college friend of my son-in-laws, how he lived in SC and we got to know him like family, her fulfilling career as a pediatric oncology nurse or how beautiful their wedding on Cape Cod was, but I won’t.
Here’s a little sampling of our afternoon and Kate’s cute little belly!








Matty & Kate, thank you so much for the fun afternoon and wonderful lunch! Kate you are glowing and look beautiful (and I know Matty is in love with your cute belly)! Little Baby “I” is beyond blessed to have the two of you as parents! And of course, to have her West Coast Nana & Papa too!


What amazing scenes you set with these shots! I have never been to San Francisco – I need to go! They sound like such a lovely couple too. I love the way you incorporated the surroundings. Her bump is precious!
What a beautiful venue and adorable couple! These are wonderful Renee You have such a great bright style. Phaunties ROCK!
Renee! Adorable mommy to be. Sweet baby bump and I can’t wait to see her NB photos.
Perfectly captured, Renee! They are adorable and I hope you get to photograph the little one too…
These are so wonderful and I know they will cherish them forever. Love the location and the couple look so cute and all excited as they wait for this little one to be born. Looking forward to the newborn pics.
Beautiful as usual!!
