Kimie and Brice are so cute together!  I mean, look at them… they’re cute just by themselves and when you put 2 cute people together… it’s just too cute.  hahaha.  You can tell by the way Brice looks at Kimie when she’s not looking (and vice versa) that they’re in loooooove.  They met in college, but it wasn’t until years after that they started dating.  It just seemed natural and… right. :)

We went to a park that overlooks Signal Hill and Long Beach.  We were a little nervous, though.  Why, you ask?  The day before the shoot, the weather was pretty crummy.  Lots of dark clouds and it was super cold.  We were in luck, though!  It was SUNNY and beautiful during sunset, which was when we were shooting!  As soon as we were about to wrap up, the dark clouds rolled in once again.  The next day, it was pouring rain all day long!! The weather was on our side! Yay!

We walked around the park for the first part of the shoot.
The second part… is a little secret!  Well, they didn’t say it was a secret, but I don’t want to give anything away, so the latter half of this post will really be a teaser.  If you know Kimie and Brice, you’ll soon find out what they were up to! :)

Okay, picture time!!!!

He adores her…

Secret mission… start!!  They want to use what they’re making and these photos for a future project (Ok ok, it’s not a secret, but like I said, I don’t want to give it away for them).

I was super excited for this photo shoot!  You might recognize them from this post back when Audrey was just born.  She’s been bringing her parents, family, and friends lots of joy and they asked me to take some photos of them all together.  She’s changed so much and getting cuter and cuter by the second! Gah! I can’t stand it! :D

We went to a park right next to their home.  Although we were worried it would be a little too hot, it was actually perfect weather!  Christine and Ryan, you are amazing parents and I’m looking forward to watching Audrey grow! :)

Here are just a few shots from that day!  Enjoy!!

Akemi and Eric are expecting a baby girl this month!  I’m so very excited for them!

If this gorgeous couple looks familiar,  it might be because you saw these photos of them.  We had a lot of fun on that engagement shoot… and I knew this maternity photo shoot would be a blast, too!

We took a very short drive from their home to this quiet, beautiful park.  It was a perfect place to capture these parents-to-be!

Aren’t they a beautiful couple!?!?!?

Love this area with all the tall grass…

Yes, I love all the greenery (well, my favorite color IS green!!), but I was happy to find this seating area with stone walls.  Akemi, you look AMAZING!

Hahaha!

Akemi and Eric Maternity Couple 7

Love!

Glowing! Pregnancy is treating Akemi very well… even in her 9th month!

We found another little park on our way home.  It was smaller, but just as quiet.  What’s with all these serene parks by their place? Lucky!

Beautiful mama sitting right here!

This was a really neat picnic/eating area.  I think I could spend all day at these parks…

A lil’ black & white for you all.  :p

When Kristin approached me about taking maternity photos, I was super excited!  We had a bit of a scheduling issue and thought maybe we wouldn’t be able to do the photo shoot until very close to her due date… and I was super nervous about 2 things: 1) her getting exhausted due to heat/big belly/almost being due/walking and 2) the baby coming early!  I’m glad we worked it out and came up with a way to do this much earlier!

Kristin and Isaac got married in 2008 in beautiful Hawaii and they’re totally the family type!  I attended her baby shower and one of her friends brought her newborn son.  Kristin and Isaac were so good with him and everything seemed to come naturally to them!

Kristin, Isaac, I had a lot of fun on this shoot!  You guys are going to be great parents and your little one is going to be so cute!  I can’t wait to meet him!  And now… just a few shots from the photo shoot!  Enjoy!

Since they wanted these photos with her belly showing, we went for it!  They weren’t shy at all, even with all the people that were around us! :)

Isaac loves the belly. :D

Akemi and Eric are engaged!  I’ve known Akemi for 10 years now (we even lived together at one point) and I’m so happy and excited that she’s getting married.  Eric is always making her laugh (as you’ll see in the photos) and they are way cute together!  :)

They decided they wanted to go to Laguna Beach to take their engagement photos and we went on a perfect day!  Akemi and Eric are so much fun and they were willing to get wet and do whatever else I asked them to do.  Their wedding will be in Hawaii next summer and I just can’t wait!  Congratulations guys!!

Marykay and Steve are engaged and will be getting married next month!  I met up with them at their apartment and we were off to walk around Long Beach.  Marykay is full of joy and so much fun.  She has this amazingly contagious laugh and you can tell Steve adores her for it!  I asked them how they met and they both giggle.  Marykay says, “we met at a club”.  Hehe!  I love it!  They’ve been together ever since they met.  Love at first sight!

They’ll be getting married in Hawaii!  Congratulations guys!
