It’s spring in Bakersfield, at the end of February the almond orchards bloomed and our landscape turned green. The rain has be amazing this year and I’m so glad I got to get out and shoot some photos before the heat hits and turns everything golden.
This expectant mom was glowing for her maternity photos. I love the photo of mom laying down and looking up at dad. How sweet is that? It shows off her growing bump and a wonderful connection between husband and wife.
This gorgeous family is expecting a baby any time now and we went out and captured some beautiful photos for them to celebrate this exciting time in their little family. We did their maternity session at the almond orchards first but big sister wasn’t feeling well and we were unable to take photos with her. I focused on mom and dad and the wonderful bond and excitement they are experiencing over the new baby.
Some time later we went out to Heart Park and did more family photos now that big sister was feeling better. With this part of their session I wanted to get a lot of family shots and focus on big sister. Big sister is adorable and informed me that once the baby is born it will be her baby.
Some of my favorite photos from this gallery are the family shot of the three of them sitting in the grass, this photo radiates the love this family has for one another. (above)
I took a little time to just photograph big sister to be, letting her play with the flowers and interact with her environment. With a few wildflowers about and a setting sun these images capture childhood innocence is a beautiful way.
I’m so excited for this wonderful family and can’t wait to meet their new baby.
