This beautiful family of three was about to become four and chose to document this momentous occasion with me on a gorgeous afternoon in Martinez. We started at one of my favorite coffee shops downtown – I’m looking at you States Coffee. (Seriously, if you ever find yourself driving on 680 and just need a good cup of coffee, a hipster vibe with a quaint town background, States Coffee is the place to go.) The brick walls really make this place, and it was a great spot to get started before we walked down to the waterfront to catch some of the golden hour. Mana & Steve and their darling 3 year old Evelyn were the sweetest little family and these maternity photos of Mana turned out to be some of my favorite shot in 2018. Mana glowed in the afternoon sun, and Evelyn danced around with that sweet sly smile and so much joy to capture.
This session is one of my favorites! The close up of the hands on the belly takes my breath away. Nice work Emily Woodall!
