A fun Maternity Shoot

Ok, so it's been a while since I last posted, and for that I apologize. I also have a bit of a backlog to get through, but I suppose that is always going to happen when you wait... and wait... and wait.
Anyway, to the task at hand. On the day of our shoot, everything looked beautiful. The skies were clear, the weather was warm, and it looked like we were in for a perfect maternity shoot at sunset. Really, I should have learned by now to never be that naive. As we approached the coast we found that the clouds were rolling in along with the wind, so the whimsical sundress was a tad on the cool side when we got there.
However, we decided to tough it out, and were richly rewarded by some dramatic skies, which you will see in one or two of the shots. The rest, well, they really like clear skies, so I was very thankful that Lightroom could come to the rescue and really bring out the blues in the sky.

As always, you can find more of the pictures on the website:

A wonderful day with a wonderful couple

Today was spent with Meghan and Bobby, a wonderful couple, recently engaged, who took us out to a beautiful location in Ramona, CA. Things got a little bit crazy, but it wasn't anything that we couldn't handle as a team. We were only able to get a few pictures of their beautiful daughter, but that will soon be rectified when we go out for the second part of our shoot at a golf course.

2:00am and still not sleeping

So it's 2:00 am the day before the shoot and my brain just won't shut down. Are the batteries charged? Check. Cameras working? As much as they ever are. But still my brain won't shut down. The long and the short of it is this: I am just going to have to go to bed and hope for the best, because otherwise I'll be far to groggy to do anything but drool on my equipment. I'll be back later with info on the shoot, and hopefully the beginning of some great pics to share with you as well.
