Melissa Maternity

True Story. Melissa and I have been friends since middle school.

Though all of life’s twists and twirls, we have managed to stay connected over the years. When Melissa asked me to take maternity photos for her first baby I knew I couldn’t miss out on capturing her in her goddess glory. She was the most vibrant and glowing version of herself. She was on this portion of her journey into motherhood with her partner deployed and we did our best to work him into the images as well. Her sister joined her for this session part hype girl part ecstatic aunt-to-be. We had a wonderful time walking around the desert at sunset to capture these images and play with lighting, the blooms of creosote just added to the magic of these images. See for yourself…
