Tag Archives: maternity I’ve been excited to share this shoot with you for a little while. A few weekends ago I was shooting in Santa Barbara, California. One of my shoots was an incredibly gorgeous, kind-hearted, and talented fellow photographer, named Brit Mann and her charming and helpful photo-assisting husband, Grant. They are expecting the arrival of what-is-sure-to-be an amazingly gorgeous baby girl. I felt really honored to photograph them during such a special time.

you’re an awesome location scout, Tara! I didn’t mean to turn you in on the light discs. Anyway you weren’t bad at all. Grant was just WAY better! ;]

Oh man. I knew these were going to be beautiful, but honestly they’ve taken my breath away. Thanks for letting me help out for the day and meet this truly amazing couple (even though my light disc skills are sub-par, I am a primo location picker, right?).

The dress IS from Anthro, and all I did was move up a button on the halter to allow the midsection seam to sit above my belly. Thanks for the compliment Jody!

This set has such a sincere/honest feel to them. Love the colors, the light and the couple! The mom honestly looks radiant.

Thank you, Megan. I think it might have been anthropologie as I happened to see something that looked similar. It’s not a maternity dress. Brit, correct me if I’m wrong! Also, I think she said she had it altered: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=&id=17916891&catId=SHOPSALE-DRESSES&pushId=SHOPSALE-DRESSES&popId=SHOPSALE&sortProperties=&navCount=725&navAction=push&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=071&colorName=DARK%20YELLOW&isSubcategory=&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=E

Thanks for the comment, Heather. They were so great to photograph. Grant was a GIANT help as well b/c my friend Tara was a bit clueless (sorry Tara) w/ the light discs. ;]

Scott, thank you so much. That means a lot. I’ve been making a little transition in my shoots, shooting a bit of film and I realized that I’ve slowed down in general which I’ve really enjoyed. Thank you. xo

Oh my wow. Sarah, these are insanely amazing. I’m seriously in love with this set. The color, light, connection is so rad. Keep up the awesome.  This weekend I was reminded how much I like simple, straight portraits. No fancy angles, clever props or juxtapositions, just pure, simple, straight portraits.

I rarely had to ask them to do anything and shooting in the comfort of their gorgeously lit home made it even easier. by Sarah 2 comments

I agree. So simple and pure. Just beautiful, your pictures and the mom-to-be.  As you can imagine, I have people contacting MKP to set up their own portrait sessions all the time but I also have the chance to surprise unsuspecting families through gift certificates. Gift certificates are a really wonderful way to surprise the expecting parents or young family in your life and I think it’s a... |
