Wildflower!  That's what this beautiful mama calls her 2 year old daughter because she is full of life and spirit.  So how appropriate that we should shoot this family's maternity session in the last bit of wildflowers left from the central valley's rains.  We're so grateful for clients who choose us to capture and preserve their special moments in life and can't wait to meet "Wildflower's" baby brother!   

To cancel or not to cancel?  That was the question of the day.  It was pouring rain all morning which turned into a slight drizzle by the time of the Clark family's session.  I'm always game to give it a try whatever the conditions and with a brave Mom on board we decided to go for it.  It was just one of those blessed moments where the rain literally stopped for the hour long session and then started up again right as we finished!  Driving home it started to pour again and I was just marveling at how it had all worked out.  We mostly had cloud cover which makes for very flat lighting but the sun did peak through a few times creating some beautiful sunny images ...

Emerson's daddy is a fireman so naturally we were excited when Mom and Dad wanted to create images dressed in his turn outs.  Mom even brought a hand made little fireman's outfit for Emerson!  His parents chose one of our premier layflat albums with 20 stunning images to preserve these once in a lifetime memories.  They added the digital copies to make gift prints for friends and family.  I can't wait to watch this little guy grow up and use our fireman's truck prop in the Fall for his sitting milestone session.
