Yosemite Engagement session with a hike

What a beautiful day for a hike in Yosemite to meet with these two beautiful California teachers. This was my first hike back from maternity leave and they kicked my butt, but it was so worth it. Look at this view from Artist's Point in Yosemite. It looks pretty similar to Tunnel View but without the crowds. We only saw a handful of other hikers on this trail, even with the trailhead right at the Tunnel View parking lot. Didn't get the majestic sunset we were looking for, but the haze at least made the light soft and the hike in May bearable. 

At Home Maternity Session

I love outdoor sessions most, but in home lifestyle sessions come a very close second. Gimme a glowing and silly mama and her energetic 3 year old and I am even happier! This in home maternity boudoir lifestyle session morphed quickly into a mommy and me session. It was so much fun to capture the calm beautiful mama-to-be and the active mama-to-be throwing her kid around. 

Mommy to be or Mommy and me, I'll take all the sessions like this one please!
