Stephanie's labyrinth maternity photoshoot

This sweet friend of mine recently gave birth to Hudson Luna. I'm so happy I had a chance to photograph her pregnancy at the tail end because her bump is just perfect, and honestly, her little darling came out as perfect as well. It takes a doll to make a doll. 

Stephanie picked this lovely location near her home in Pasadena. The urban garden space, known as Arlington Garden, features a labyrinth which offered us the perfect landscape for our photoshoot. 

Kendra, the mother to be

I have had the privilege of watching my dear friend Kendra and her belly's journey through her pregnancy. Every time I see her, which is very frequently, we give each other the tightest biggest hugs imaginable. Before baby, I would hug her so tight that her hip points would bump me. These days when I hug her, her baby bumps me, it has made our hugs even more special.  She is nothing but belly! 

Some point between now and January 8th the little being inside this belly will grace the world. This baby is already so loved, everyone is so excited to meet her!
