Sarah’s having a baby boy!

August 7, 2008

Sarah got married in 2005 to Carl and they had a military wedding, the only one I’ve ever photographed. It was such a pleasure getting to know Sarah while she was planning her wedding and getting to hear all of the funny stories of being a military wife – all the strange places they’ve lived, etc….. Carl will be stationed in Japan this fall, but in the meantime, he’s training on some military base and Sarah thought it best to stay in Ventura with family. I am so honored that I got to photograph this incredible time in her life. Since I was pregnant with Tess, I have such an emotional attachment to this incredible phase of a woman’s life and it’s so meaningful to me to document it. In addition, Carl hasn’t seen Sarah very much since she’s been pregnant and the photos are all the more precious knowing that he will be able to see how beautiful and glowing she looks over the internet! We started out with portraits and my house (Ugh, the best light) and drove up to El Matador Beach. I should have checked the tide chart as the tide was REALLLLLY high, but Sarah was such a sport, trekking up and down the inclines and getting wet. What a mamma!!!
