A calm, cloudy day at the beach? Yes please! The light fell softly onto glowing faces, the birds soared in the sky, and the breeze picked up as the evening drew closer, creating some fantastic movement in hair and clothing. I was loving every moment of this maternity session. When Kim and Ben told me they were bringing their fur baby, Stella, I just about lost it. Adding a dog into photoshoots makes my day complete - major dog-lover right here.

I was honored Kim and Ben asked me to photograph their first family portrait and feel blessed to have gotten to be a part of so many of their beautiful moments as they walked along Ocean Beach and Kissed and cuddled at the Sutro Baths.

Congrats on your beautiful baby girl!
