We scheduled this maternity session just in time. 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.
YAY Jeff & Carmen! Beautiful pictures!
These photos are great. So well done…and you guys look so happy and peaceful. Congrats on baby Elise…can’t wait to see those pics as well! 🙂
Carmen can pull off the sexy, sultry look well! 🙂 Beautiful.

Awesome pics @ a jealous brother here – we always meant to get pro pix, but never got around to it with busy lives.
Always slow down to document the wonders of your life! It will mean so much as you get older.
