Marinda and Bruce | Maternity Portraits | Bump at the Beach

Marinda and Bruce have been friends of ours for years, we've shared styled shoots, game nights and clients (Marinda also happens to be a hair and makeup wizard.) Basically, they're awesome and we love them.

Well about a year ago, while she was working her magic on my maine, Marinda and I started talking about how we were both trying to grow our family - fast forward a few months and we told each other we were expecting... ON THE SAME DATE. Yup, both our babies were due in late October. I really had tons of fun shooting this maternity session because I was right there with her, ya know? So have a gander at the rest of these beauties and enjoy.

Today I am so pleased to share with you Lauren + Trevor's maternity announcement portraits.

Lauren and Trevor and two very special clients and we are trilled to be working with them again. Lauren also happens to be the owner of Shabby Little Events (if anyone happens to be in the market for a wedding or event coordinator) and made sure this shoot was filled with great ideas and details. 

We're also debuting our new blogging style, so I hope you enjoy!

I love maternity sessions.

I truly wish I shot more of them. 

And this little family was exceptionally delightful to work with!

Stewart Maternity: Balboa Pier Maternity photography

You may remember the Stewarts from such blog headers as: ours! (<---The Simpsons shout out!)

Yes, thats right: the Stewart's are expecting their first little bundle of baby!

Its been a little over a year since we shot their "Couple's" session:

... and we were THRILLED to be able to shoot their maternity session! This little baby could not be getting any parents who were more fun or more beautiful than Brandon and Chelsea. Like our last session, Brandon had me cracking up the entire time and Chelsea was glowing. The streets of Newport Beach and Balboa were such a backdrop to the day (although we did have a very talkative... and inebriated woman approach us right outside of a bar... did I mention how very talkative she was?...yeah.) Aside from that, the shoot was fantastic and oh so fun!

Loved the old pictures of "beach scenes" they had along the walls of the "fun zone"

Blake's shot... a little "peek-a-boo"

I'm digging the body language here.

hahaha... my 2nd favorite

We needed a little rest. (Mom and Dad needed a little smoochin')

*Tender* (I love how they hold their little one)

Can we get a spotlight on dad?

Lets not forget who this is all about...

My favorite from the day!!! I adore the lines and feminine curves.

Blake's favorite! don't you just love the "bakery" in the window?

More sweet loving

Brandon's face is the best here! He is so excited to be a daddy.

oh how I adore the sun flare!

Brandon and Chelsea, you guys rock and you are going to be amazing parents! Your little one is going to have so much love it wont know what to do. You're beautiful and we congratulate you both! GO STEWARTS, FOR MAKING A PERSON!
