Gabby & David's Open Field Maternity Session: Hayward, Northern California

​I’m sitting at the airport, editing and crying. Crying and editing.

Editing is a given.

The crying. Well, it’s ignited, by inspiration, by purpose, by truth, by intentionality, by commitment, by perseverance, by love, by understanding, by being in exchange, in space with lights brighter than I could dream.

The literal light. The light of the souls at hand. The light of their love.

These two, their journey, I cannot even begin to describe. They’ve been through more, than most people in their lifetime. Maneuvering each reality, with undoubtable faith, inspirational grace and a strength, that quite literally makes me feel like I can fly.

Gabby and David, have truly been some of my biggest supporters from the very first time I started expressing my love for photography. They alone, have referred dozens upon dozens of souls my way. They alone, have trusted me to document their greatest moments, all being destination sessions!

I’ve documented everything from engagements to their wedding. Anniversaries and now, their maternity portraits. In just a few months time, it will be their newborn, after that 6 months and a year.

These milestones, they’ve prayed for. These milestones, I’ve anxiously awaited. These milestones, yet another moment where I get to be in the presence of some of the greatest love, strength and friendship I’ve ever known and witnessed.

Their shoot, took place is an insanely gorgeous field and then downtown, where Gabby grew up! After their shoot, we had lunch and got to connect about everything from relationships, to puppy training, to intentional connections, to living a life that feels oh so very supportive, to how much money is really needed, to just about anything.

Each conversation, real, raw, intentional, wholesome, truthful. Each word, bringing life into my soul. Each laugh, vibrating us, even higher.

I am humbled. I am grateful. I am inspired by these two. Thank you for believing in me, so deeply, so truthfully, so purely. It is a part of me.

Congrats my friends! I cannot wait to meet little DJ in just a few months time! 🌷
