Beltran Maternity and Family Sneak Peek {Marin Co., CA, Family Beloved Photographer}

I love it when clients' walls are full of prints and this family has a whole wall set up as a gallery. To find people who truly value photography, who feel it is important and not just a nice thing to do, makes me happy. Everybody has different priorities, I totally get that, but in my mind, capturing memories and having something to show the generations that follow is amazing. We document so much of our lives on our phones, which is wonderful and accessible, but it really isn't the same thing as taking the time and making the effort to intentionally capture the beauty of family.

I last did newborn photos for this family, when their littlest boy was just days old (see those here). With baby number three on the way, this lovely couple want to remember not only this beautiful belly but the family of four, that they will be for just a few more weeks. These little boys are suddenly going to seem so much bigger and relationships will inevitably change.

This gorgeous, outnumbered Mama, is about to have a little girl. It's going to be a whole new world of pink for everyone!

 As the sun started to set we headed to the beach for a few more sweet family moments.

Excited to meet and photograph Miss. Lorelai soon. :)

Hoffman Family Sneak Peek {Marin County, CA Family Beloved Photographer}

I have taken birth photographs and newborn photographs for this family but it was finally time for a family portrait session. I could not be happier with how they turned out. The lighting and location were wonderful and we were able to take the time to truly capture this family and their relationships with each other. It's a long post because it was so hard to narrow down the choices.

I am a firm believer in marriage and the need to keep that relationship strong in the midst of busy lives and children needing attention and care. It is how family starts and it needs to be cherished and nurtured and valued. The love that started it all needs to be remembered, even on the tough days. Whether it's five minutes or twenty, I love to be able to provide a space to capture that love. Thank you John and Alice for not thinking it was weird to play my games and answer my questions to get these genuine emotions. You have something special, don't forget it!
