Read Morethese might be some of my favorite pictures i have ever taken. i did brooke and devin's bridals a little over a month ago at some beaches in la jolla. her dress is to die for, her veil is on point, and we had the most perfect overcast conditions for the pictures. i think doing bridal pictures might be my favorite type of shoot!

i'm not gonna lie, before i got pregnant jarman used to make fun of all pictures of pregnant women because they were always holding their bellies and looking down. so typical, right? but since being pregnant i've discovered that these women weren't holding their bellies because they were heavy, but rather to define them and make them look more like a baby belly rather than looking like a big fat blob. which is what we pregnant women feel like most of the time. i'm not sure what the looking down thing is all about- maybe to show how much we love our little babies? maybe we are giving them death glares to stop kicking our ribs? maybe our heads have gotten weak like the rest of our bodies and we can't muster the strength to lift them up? whatever the reason- i'll totally understand if you make fun of these photos. because i have been there.
jarman actually took these for me and did a fabulous job (when he wasn't distracted by watching the waves). of course, my tripod had been misplaced when we took them so we didn't get as many of the two (three?) of us as i would have liked (don't worry- it has since been located in one of jarman's drawers in his closet. i doubt that's a coincidence- he hates taking pictures even though he is so photogenic). we took them at a little spot in la jolla and got some of the coolest sunset pics. it was a perfect evening.
after we finished, some chinese people saw me and asked to take pictures of me too. they were like paparazzi and wouldn't let me leave. they also told me that i had to take nude pictures while i'm pregnant or else i will regret it. the old grandpa was especially enthusiastic about this. don't plan on seeing pics like that anytime soon- it's so not happening!
i got to take this cute family's pictures last week- i loved hanging out with all their boys! they had so much energy- which i'm going to have to get used to with my little boy on the way! we took these pictures at windansea beach. jarman and i have been going here since we moved to san diego, and i was immediately obsessed with the little beach shack. i had been hoping to get to do a photoshoot there, so when the geddie's said they wanted to do their pictures at a beach in la jolla i immediately knew this is where we should do them.
i still have 5 weeks until baby is due and am starting to get stir crazy. i pretty much have everything ready and now it's just a waiting game! (possibly the worst and least fun game of all!). so contact me if you need any pictures done- i'd love to have something to distract me (and possibly help get things moving along:).
