Welcome Itty Bitty Talia!!

{Ash-a-ley}

Meet Talia Clementine.  She was welcomed into this world by Robert & May at home.   She is sweet perfection and so very loved.   I have been capturing this love and beauty along their journey, and have seen first hand the love they share and the beautiful miracle they now call theirs.   Congrats you two!   Can't wait to share the entire BirthStory!   

I have a feeling she is going to have blue eyes.....

Sweet, Sweet Baby. 

 In case you missed it, make sure you check out May's Ripe Belly Session.   We went to the middle of Dry Lake bed out here in Cali.   Check it out HERE.

May: Ripe Belly in El Mirage

{Ash-a-ley}

Meet May.   She is a model, a wife and the creator of the organic May Lindstrom Skin.   Becker invited me to shoot with him at the El Mirage Dry Lake bed, and I was blown away by the confident and elegant way May embraced Motherhood.  As we road tripped out to the desert, I could not help but smile when I would look to the back seat and see May and her husband in complete and utter love with each other.   Then we arrived at the shoot location, and May embraced every beautiful curve of this new stage in her life.  She was due any day (and as far as I know still expecting), but I think I told her that my due date guess was either August 1st or August 2nd?    I posted some of my favorites from the shoot below, and at the bottom of this blog post you will find a link to a few more of my favorites that are more PG-13.    Thank you May and Robert and I hope you savor each moment along this roller coaster of an experience.   After witnessing the love you two show towards each other, I know the sweet baby girl that will soon be in your arms will have no shortage of love and affection.  With all of that being said, I'll just go ahead and start with my FAVE!  This sunset was like nothing I have ever witnessed.      

After seeing Robert admire his BREATHTAKING wife from the sidelines, we pulled him over for a few of them together.   

And here is a little behind the scenes action with Becker.    He actually shot pics of May years ago and has always wanted to shoot pics with her once again.   Capturing her in this beautiful stage in her life was perfect! 

Check out some of his favorites from the shoot on his blog HERE.

 I got my new car just in time for my road trip out west, and I absolutely LOVEEEEE it!!    As soon as we started driving onto the dry lake bed, I felt as if I were in one of those car commercials you see!    So fun!
