I'm Michelle
Because you shouldn’t have to choose just one moment to remember, this is your way to hold on to the whole story.
Because some moments are meant to be seen as they unfold, movement, emotion, and the beauty of this season, just as it was.
We met up on a perfect Fall evening at the La Jolla Shores. The only thing more beautiful than the Fall light was this stunning mama-to-be. Amy is absolutely glowing!
We chose a beach with special meaning to this gorgeous couple; the La Jolla Shores. It is where their engagement session was done and where they got married at the Scripps Seaside Forum overlooking that beach. It seemed only natural to have the next beautiful phase in their relationship photographed here as well.
I love capturing a couple’s final days as just the two of them, soaking in every moment of this amazing journey. Maternity sessions are so much more than just getting beautiful images of the mama-to-be and her baby bump. It is about capturing all of the beauty and emotions of pregnancy. The anticipation and excitement, the love and joy. There is so much love to capture between parents-to-be and their new baby.
They already have so much love for their little boy. I cannot wait to see them again soon with their baby boy for his newborn session!
