Today we had a wonderful family of five: Elva (soon to be mom again), her husband Jose, their two adorable twins Emma and Maya who are only 2.5 yrs old and their baby Lola due August 22. We did a mini session that went by very quickly and was not very tiring on the mom. We got couple of family shots and a few of mom Elva by herself.  The girls were behaiving themselves so well and they were so gentle, we had no problem getting them in few shots..I had a hard time telling them apart but, of course you just ask mom or dad, they know..Anyway, I had visioned something like a Rembrant oil painting with Elva, something you would see on the old canvas: muted and yet soft colors…

I wanted to add this, to all my potential maternity clients, many woman dont feel like their best during pregnancy, they usually shy of the camera and dont wont to show lots of their changing body. Yes, pregnancy does add few pounds but the is the most  natural and beautiful look to a woman, on my opinion. So, moms, please dont be shy, let me play with the light and the fabrics, show the best side of you during one and only moment you have so you can look back 10 years from now and remember your presious moment in life,  just you and your baby and nothing else for that one moment in life..
