| harmon family maternity session |

I had the pleasure of being pregnant the first time around with my gorgeous friend Amy. With our children being born a little over 2 weeks apart she became my lifeline in the early stages of motherhood. We late night texted, bounced questions off one another and she was my living proof of knowing I would actually survive all that sleep exhaustion. When she told me she was pregnant the second time around I was actually bummed we wouldn't be pregnant together again! But hello...still sleep deprived over here! I love this family and this is one Northern California sunlit beauty you won't want to miss.

When Courtney called me up and wanted to do a cake smash session I knew exactly where we would go. I find that Mt. Diablo offers everything I need as far as photos go (heck I even got married on it!) and it never ever disappoints. With the welcome abundance of rain I knew it would be nothing but green - and oh did it deliver. Tie in lush scenery with gorgeous children and your pictures are practically finished. Jax absolutely loved his first cake and I can easily dub him happiest kid on the mountain.

I never really appreciated the newness of a brand new baby until I became a mom. So when I get the opportunity to photograph newborns it leaves me wanting all the babies! I got to spend my morning with sweet Luca who was seven days new. He was so alert and that head full of hair could be described no other way than edible. Warning baby fever may will ensue.

| The DeCoud Family |

We can all agree that the relationship you have with the person who does your hair has to be a special one. When I started going to Natasha years ago she became so much more to me than my hairdresser. We laugh, talk, confide in and often find ourselves going through the same life moments. We married within a year of one another and had babies within weeks of one another. It's been fun to journey it all together. I was overjoyed when she asked me to capture this special time while waiting on baby #2. Even though more often than not Miss Bryn stole the show I think we can all agree this is one gorgeous family - inside and out. Enjoy all the goodness below!
