{Danielle + Jared} Expecting | Long Beach, CA Maternity Photographer

Remember this expecting momma? Well, I got to do a short shoot with her & her boyfriend...now that he is in town for the delivery of their little boy Jace (or Jase?). She is DUE now and is patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for his arrival.

I always try to encourage expecting moms to shoot some where around their 7th month. When they definitely look pregnant but are still feeling good about themselves. Sometimes that 8th and 9th month, you pack on a few more pounds with that growing baby...and are not exactly feeling confident in front of the camera. Clearly this is not the case with Danielle. She is full term and looks absolutely adorable. :)

By the way, there is something in the water! I know so many people pregnant right now and am getting maternity inquires left and right. What a joy to play a part in all of these couples life. Thank you!

We shot these in my new backyard...

I kinda love this next shot. The in between moments are always my fave...

It was my brothers idea to have Danielle jump into the wagon. But it was Jared's idea to make it very "difficult" to pull. I thought this was such a fun & cute shot...(thanks for being a trooper, Danielle)
