Lucas just graduated from medical school, they’re moving across the country to New York City, AND they’re going to have a baby!! I think they are going to love being in New York despite the fact that Kim has some reservations about being a New Yorker for the next five years.

We got together to take some photos of them as Californians before they hit the road for the east coast. The light was perfect during this early morning shoot. We had a blast together. Good luck guys!

First up, the Treurs. We’ve done several sessions with these guys from maternity to baby and each one gets better. These guys aren’t usually interested in the usual locations, so we found some unusual ones.

Seriously cute.

We found a perfect spot where there was just a small shaft of sunlight poking through the darkness. I love this series.

You never know what you’re going to be lugging to a photography session. See you next time, guys!

Five days after the shoot, their little girl arrived. I’m so glad we got some photos of Carmen and Jeff before the baby came. It’s fun to look back at that cool pregnancy time.

We’ve known Jeff and Carmen ever since we arrived in Southern California from the snowy north. We’ve been in bible studies together, gone to church together, and most importantly we’ve rocked out together. These guys are great. I had the awesome opportunity to go take some photos of their new arrival in the hospital (photos coming soon), and no one could be happier to be a dad than Jeff. Their little girl is very lucky to have these two as parents.

Some photo setups fail, and its best to just laugh.

Here’s the sequel to part one of their maternity shoot.

It’s so fun to take photos of these guys because they look like rock stars.  It’s hard to take a bad photo of Greg and Rachel.  So when they talked to me about doing a maternity session I was stoked to say the least.  Check these guys out!
