YOUR ANTICIPATION: SARA & HECTOR

JEN — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 05:13:34 +0000

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with my friends Sara and Hector yesterday evening. You may remember that I shot some “day after” images for them a year ago. When I found out they were expecting, I was SO excited. They are a beautiful couple who love each other immensely, they love their family and friends, and they love the Lord. And NOW they’ve got a little bun in the oven who has taken over their hearts already! This little man is SO LOVED.

I loved the fact that early into her pregnancy, Sara shot me an email reserving the right to hire me down the road for their next set of images. They live in Orange and saw some of my previous maternity shots from the Circle/Plaza, so we decided to head back there. It was a hot afternoon, but Sara and Hector were cool cats. They laughed and smiled, joked around, and celebrated the fact that little Micah is on his way!

Sara and Hector, I am honored by your friendship and touched that you had me shoot these special images once again! I can’t wait to meet the new addition to your family! XOXO!

I’ll be publishing a full post later this week about Sara and Hector‘s maternity session, but this image just screamed “we’re so in love with each other and our growing baby” that I just had to post it!

YOUR ANTICIPATION: LISA AND STEVEN

About 6 months ago, I got a phone call from my oldest friend Lisa. There was an unusual excitement and joy in her voice…it was different enough for me to sense that some amazing big news was on its way. Sure enough, she had called to let me know that she and Steven were expecting their first child!

Lisa and I were best friends before we knew was best friends were. Our moms and dads met at church and became fast friends and at my 5th birthday, they all came and we’ve essentially celebrated every birthday and milestone together ever since. While I was in college in TX, then moved to DC, we stayed close and blew up the airwaves with phone calls. Then we found instant messenger and discovered a new way to chat. When I moved back to CA, Lisa was back in grad school in LA and let me know she met someone special. Not long after that, I wore a long pink dress and stood up with them under a tree on a beautiful afternoon in Malibu. They’ve taken their time in starting a family and neither side of the family can wait to meet the sweet little guy!

Tomorrow is Lisa’s first baby shower and I knew that I wanted to gift them with some images, so we met up last week in the Orange Circle for a maternity session. I have the images in hand and think they are amazing. I know they will be thrilled to have documentation of this sweet time in their lives and encourage any expectant couple to memorialize this wonder as well! If you’re interested in a maternity session, please do not hesitate to contact me!

YOUR JOURNEY.DEANNA.

Deanna is a web designer and avid blogger who didn’t have any profile photos or head shots. We connected online and she is the one who put together my fabulous banner and helped me set up this site, so it was time for me to return the favor and make sure her readers and clients knew who they were speaking with!

We met at the Orange Plaza and took advantage of the great light and scenery. Then we took advantage of a local restaurant for a nice glass of wine!

Deanna, it was fun meeting you in person and getting the chance to just hang out. I’m so glad you like these images! You’ve got a terrific smile and an even more terrific personality! XOXO!
