You’ve been dreaming of this moment for so long, for months maybe even years. The moment your precious baby takes it’s first breath, the moment you first look in their eyes and feel a love you can’t explain with words. You carry this little one in your womb for 9 months, getting to know them, learning to love them, growing in selflessness to care for them. Those first moments, glances, coos and cries are irreplaceable but so is this time. There is nothing sweeter than feeling that little one kick in response to your voice, dance with you as you move and react to your hubby’s touch. This time is just as precious and fun and this maternity session was a beautiful picture of that.

This sweet mama wanted to do something fun and unique for her maternity session so we headed to the Oceanside Harbor in San Diego for sunset and ice cream. I was so thrilled to see her show that beautiful life giving belly off in a bikini, she was everyone’s #goals. I loved that we got to incorporate a watermelon pool float, a sugary blue soda, bubblegum and a beach ball in celebration of this little boy.

This little guy is so lucky and I can’t wait to kiss his chubby cheeks and snuggle him endlessly.
