The Hildebrandt's - Sonoma County Maternity Photographer

We ignored the above warning sign and had an afternoon full of laughter and photography - two of my favorite things in the world! My flight arrived in San Diego at 11:30 and after a flavorful lunch at Panera we packed up bags for our photo adventure and went out in search of a scene the opposite of the beach. I thought it would be a tall order - but the Carlsbad area delivered. And delivered beautifully as these pictures will show. I spent the entire weekend taking photos of my beyond beautiful sister, talking about the little girl that is soon arriving, and enjoying a relaxing weekend at our fabulous hotel room looking over the ocean. It was a wonderful time - and thankfully I have plenty of photos to prove it.
Seriously, could she be anymore beautiful? She was meant to be pregnant.
I had a great time hanging back and just capturing the interaction between Alicia and Geoff. Their happiness just radiates, agree?
Alicia and Geoff are keeping the name of their little one under wraps (all that we know is that her name will start with "a") and when I was taking these solo pictures of Alicia, I asked Geoff to talk to her about the baby and he almost said her name. So, this was Alicia's reaction. Absolutely priceless!
I was so excited to get lots of ring/belly shots - the next day at the hospital tour, the nurse advised the moms-to-be to not wear their rings anymore to avoid any "complications."
I will be taking some time away from my photography business in the month of March - but there will be plenty of photos of little baby a! I do have two more client posts to publish - so be sure to check back this week for more adorableness! xoxo
