Galveston Pleasure Pier Maternity Session: Heather + Justin

We LOVE Galveston, so when Heather said that she wanted a beachy maternity session, we were 100% here for it!

Heather wanted some photos under the pier, and some on the jetty, so that’s exactly what we made happen for her, and boy am I glad that we did. The day was perfect, the colors were just so vibrant beautiful, and if you didn’t know Galveston, you wouldn’t even be able to tell- I’d think Cali if I didn’t already know better!

Heather chose a dusty rose colored dress for herself and a teal shirt for Justin, and I don’t know if she could have made a better choice. The colors truly complimented each other and the background, and helped to add a little bit of color pop to each photo.

Heather, you truly looked like an absolute angel, and we can’t wait to meet your little girl next month!

Santa Fe, TX Maternity: Kristina + Greg

When Kristina first reached out about a maternity session, she mentioned bringing baby goats- Wait, what?! How cool, yes please! I could already tell that Kristina & Greg were going to be a ton of fun!

Although we didn’t end up with the baby goats, lol, we had a blast with this awesome couple, and can tell that they’re going to be cool parents. Not only do they breed goats at their farm, but they incorporated Jimmy Fallon books into their session, which is pretty great in itself!

Kristina & Greg, the love that you guys show for each other is just going to be multiplied for baby Evelyn, so Josh and I know that she will be abundantly loved! Can’t wait to see baby E!

Preparing for Baby Samara

Our dear friends, Samantha and Tito, are expecting baby Samara in March, and it was our honor to be part of this step of their lives! Sam looked so beautiful, and the boys were too precious in their matching outfits. ;) ALSO, Josh gained IV's favor when he stumbled upon a trick to make him laugh! (You can see IV just dying laughing in some of the pictures!)

Brianda's Maternity session

Josh previously worked with Brianda, and when she contacted us to have a maternity session, it was an easy and resounding "YES!" Brianda said that she loved the natural light and nature from our previous shoots, so we collectively decided to meet at Houston's Hermann Park- easily one of the most beautiful and lush areas of the city!  She looked absolutely angelic, especially with the light of golden hour peering from behind her through the branches of the trees. 

Brianda and Ricardo were both such a pleasure to work with, and their love for little Noel, and excitement to have him finally arrive were both apparent throughout our time together. Congratulations, you two! We're so excited to see your little one in a few weeks!
