We originally scheduled Tomoko+Kenji’s maternity photo session for Malibu beach at sunset, but the weather did not cooperate, so we did it at their house. I know it’s hard to beat the beach at sunset, but I have to say it was God because their session turned out more amazing than I imagined because we were able to include their beloved dog and the beautiful scenery around their property. It was a perfect day and I made the most beautiful and kind new friends. :) It was such a joy to photograph the two of them because they were so happy and had big smiles the whole time. I love my job.
