Like in some of those suspensful movies… let’s start from the end. Dj and Ralph are no longer just Dj and Ralph… baby Tristran has already joined their family increasing it’s size to 3! Yay!

We had a fantastic time taking photos of these awesome young parents (well obviously they were parents-to-be when we shot) on Hollywood beach … time flew and by the time we all looked at our watches it was like “it’s WHAT TIME?!?!?”

I’m going to start with my favorite shot of the session, which was Lisette’s idea:

It seems like a great shot to start with considering that little Tristran is now part of the picture… and no, unfortunately I don’t have a photo of Tristran… but I can paint a mental picture. Take Ralph. Make him really really tiny. Now add Dj to make a much cuter version of daddy… Tada! Tristran!

Hello gorgeous mommy!!!!

I have to say… it’s always great to photograph a mommy to be. They’re so gorgeous and full of joy and love and never shy away from showing it when I’m capturing these special moments… as a dad though I have to say that when I get a dad to be that really “gets into it” and shows the emotions I remember feeling myself when my little ones were inside my wife’s tummy… that rocks even more

had a fantastic time photographing this awesome couple as they get ready to welcome Colin into the world.

This one below was probably the most striking photo from the session…

…And here is me shooting it

Thanks guys for the honor of documenting this precious moment in your and your future baby’s life.

When someone asks me to do a portrait session for them, I tend to assume that everything they tell me about themselves is true.  Unfortunatelly this particular pregnant mom challenges my ability to believe her.

Can you really have two little wild ones running around the house all day, a third one on the way, and still look THIS GOOD?!

Usually I like to take most pregnant portraits (with the exception of the less-clothed ones of course) outdoors … in this case I couldn’t pass up the fantastic contrast of Lisette’s white dress against the chocolate couch.

Finally here is the supposed proof that she has at least another child:

Thank you Derrick and Heather for a wonderful maternity session.  We had a great time shooting both at their home and then on Hollywood beach.  We are so excited for you and can’t wait to welcome your little one into the world!
