As a Palo Alto maternity photographer, I love photographing the beautiful bloom of a woman’s pregnancy and the anticipation on the parents’ faces as they eagerly await the arrival of their baby! Having been pregnant myself just a few months ago, I still remember being in awe of my transforming body as my baby grew inside my belly. Every kick and flutter felt amazing and I couldn’t wait to finally meet the little bun that had been cooking in my oven for months!

I am so honored that Monica chose me to document this season in her life, and Elizabeth Gamble Gardens was just the perfect location to photograph her bloom! We were able to use a variety of my maternity gowns during her session and this mama looked stunning in all of them! We were also able to incorporate a variety of family portraits during Monica’s maternity session and I especially loved how sweet her son looked as he eagerly awaits the arrival of his baby sister!

Congratulations Monica and family! I’m so happy for your growing family and just know that your little princess will be loved to pieces!
