This girl… I have so much I could say about this girl.  Alley and I met when I used to work in the salon doing hair and makeup full time.  Our stations were right next to each other and we became fast friends.  I am so honored she chose me to capture this amazing time in her life.  Being that we’ve been friends for what feels like so long and we’ve been through life’s ups & downs together, it was only fitting I was able to be a part of her maternity photos.  I have no doubt in my mind that Ian and Alley will be amazing parents.  Alley you will be an amazing mom because you are an amazing friend, sister and daughter.  The love that you have for life shines through in all you do and your daughter is so blessed to have you guys as parents.  I love you!

I had SO much fun photographing this adorable family.  There’s something amazing that happens when you photograph people who truly love each other with all that they are… it completely shows through in their photos, and that’s exactly what happened in our session with Isaac, Jacqui and Elijah (and baby girl in the belly)! 

We had the greatest time walking around the Venice Beach Canals.  We would stop and take pictures, every now and then and if it was just Jacqui and Isaac, I would get them posed, tell them to look at me, then at the belly, then at each other and then kiss, and every now and then Jacqui would say “Do we get to kiss again?” or “Can we kiss again?”  SQUEEEE!!!  I love love love couples so in love with each other!

Thank you Isaac and Jacqui for allowing me to capture such an amazing time in your lives … and thank you little Elijah for letting me run up and down the alley ways playing pirates with you! ARRR MATEY!
