I was SO excited when my fellow photographer friend Julie asked me to take her maternity portraits.  We have been working together at weddings since the beginning of her pregnancy, and let me tell you- she’s powered through every wedding like a champ!  We started Julie and Brad’s maternity portrait session with some intimate shots (indoors), then drove down to Crystal Cove in Laguna Beach for some natural, outdoor images.  I really like splitting the session up between indoors with studio lighting and outdoors with natural lighting.  Though if you’re down for getting half naked in public, that’s more than fine with me!  Thank you Julie and Brad for being my FABULOUS models, and a special thank you to Brad who endured the 2 hours of being photographed!  The wine was definitely a great idea, and I will continue to suggest it to my camera-shy male clients.  I can’t wait to meet your little girl!

The perfect baby bump.  Check out the cute t-shirt too.

I love this shot- so romantic.

Freakin’ adorable baby shoes!

Can you say “Hot Mamma!!”  I better look this hot when I get preggy some day.

We took advantage of the perfect sunset for yet another “sexy mamma” shot.
