In case you did not know, I'm one week away from the due date for my third baby... that would maybe explain why I have not been taking on any shoots for a while ;)
We are so excited to welcome another baby into our family, our little girl, after already having two awesome little guys!
Today I just felt like it was about time for a shoot, before it's too late. Normally I like to shoot pregnant women around 34 - 36 weeks (the latest), but of course mine was at 39 weeks. Normally I would love my family to be part of it, but we did it all without any preparation and I did not have time to get myself and the rest of the family ready within 30 minutes. (That's as long as it took to get ready and choose what to wear, but believe me, more time would not have made me look better, I tend to ruin things when I try to do it too perfect - strange, I know!)
Of course it was raining on top of everything... but you know what, I'm so glad it did, the clouds and dusky feel is special around here in SoCal!
Camille and I have worked together before, she's still in the beginning of her career as a photographer and was so kind enough to run over, without ANY notice and she even let me BOSS her around on how I thought I wanted the pictures. I'm so happy with how the pictures turned out, thanks Camille, you did awesome!!
I love to edit my own pictures because it gives me the freedom to express my thought on how the pictures should look. Everyone edits so very differently, there is no "right and wrong", just preference (well, sometimes people do ruin pics by editing, but then again, they might think that's what i'm doing too hahaha.)
Come back in a few weeks and you should be able to see our little baby girl here! ;) I can't wait to meet our baby Gwen!
xoxo, Lydia
totally adorable. You look great, Lydia. And, fantastic work, Camille.
