I met up with Cynthia and David today for a quick, last minute maternity session. She is already 38 weeks, and looks SO amazing! Seriously, her belly is perfect. I am looking forward to meeting their little girl in the next couple weeks.

Enjoy your sneak peek and thank you for braving through the swarm of ants in the field I dragged you to! :)

I loved shooting Maria last week. Her belly is gorgeous and I could hardly believe she was only 3 weeks away from delivering. She looked absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to meet her baby girl in the next couple weeks.

xo,

Val

I was so happy to receive an e-mail from Katie a couple weeks ago, letting me know they were expecting their second baby and wanted me to document the end of their pregnancy again. What an honor! I love watching “my babies” grow up, and could not believe the adorable big girl big K has grown up to be! I cannot wait to meet their new addition, Tyler, this July!

C family, enjoy your sneak peek! It was great seeing you all today and I can’t wait to meet little T in July!

kristy lynn: I love that sunflare one!!! you rock.

First of all, I have been seriously neglecting this blog during March and have quite a few sessions to blog! I am sorry, I promise to get them up by the beginning of next week. : )

This afternoon I meet with the B family for some maternity and family portraits. R is due with a (surprise gender!) baby in just a couple months and looks so fabulous! When she described what she was looking for out of a session, I knew it was something totally different that what I normally do, and forced me to go outside of my “comfort zone”. I loved the results.

B family. enjoy your sneak peek. It was so fun hanging out today. Can’t wait to see you in July and meet your new addition!

 

xoxo,

I met up with David and Ann today for their maternity session. Ann was glowing. She is really all belly, and due in only three weeks! I cannot wait to meet their baby girl and find out what her name is.

A&D, it was fun hanging out today. Family, friends (and lurkers too!), 15 comments and I will gift a 5×7 print to the new family. : )

 

Til next time

katie: beautiful!!! i love the sun!

francine: Great work!

Jennifer: Wow Val! She's beautiful. Great shots as always

Melissa: Gorgeous mama!! I love the first one and the warm tones of the others.

Janine: excellent use of sun glare :) love them.

I seriously have the best clients. Lisette and Andrew were referred to me  by a former client. Word of mouth seriously helps my business grow so much and I am happy my clients are so generous with their referrals.

Lisette and Andrew were so photogenic, and I could not get over how tiny her bump was! She’s due just one month from now and looks amazing.

Congrats on your little one on her way, I cannot wait to meet her!

I met up with Aundrea bright and early today again for some more maternity photos. We had fun exploring around Prado Regional Park in Chino Hills. The grass was SUPER wet, but the M family were troopers.

 

Here’s a sneak peek from your session, enjoy!

Aundrea M.: Valerie, I love them. Can't wait to see the whole gallery.

How wonderful does A look with only a month left until her due date?! The M family is expecting their new addition soon, and little T is going to be a big brother! He was quite the chatterbox during our session : )

M family, here’s just a few for now….
