Recently I was blessed to be able to be able to do my first maternity shoot for my good friends from college. I don’t really know how my first years in college would have gone if I had not met Ryan during my first week. Ryan and Hartley have had a huge impact on my life in many areas so I was overjoyed when I was blessed with the opportunity to help capture some moments as they will soon will be blessed with a new addition to their family. We met at Balboa Fun Zone where we played some arcade games and ate some ice cream while taking some couples portraits.
After we finished the ice cream, we walked down to the sand and hung out for awhile at the beach listening to the waves crash on the shore as the sun quietly sank behind the horizon. We also took some time to take some solo pictures of Hartley, who was totally rocking it playing with her dress in the wind and thoughtfully thinking about the future with the little one to come.
I know Ryan and Hartley are going to make the best parents for Judea! I can’t wait to see how their family continues to grow!
