Venice Beach Maternity Session

Shooting a Venice Beach maternity session was one of the highlights of 2018. It was gorgeous, they were gorgeous, and everything was perfect. I can’t believe the lifeguard stand stands alone. There were loads of people everywhere, and I didn’t photoshop anyone out. In fact, I rarely open photoshop to manipulate photos. Just my own color toning, cropping and adjustments in Lightroom, but I aim to keeps things real and simple. Super simple.
 
I haven’t shot a maternity session in a while. It’s not that I don’t like them, but I noticed that I don’t blog them too often.
 
(Let’s be honest, the past two year I haven’t blogged anything that often).

But I’m back!

It’s funny how businesses, once they’re running just enough to keep you afloat, can get neglected. In my case things have been running very well for many years, but not growing. I stopped blogging because I was focused on other things and the work was still coming in. I don’t want to blame life circumstances, but they distracted me enough to turn my head.
 

I miss this so much!

 
When I’m behind my camera, or editing, or traveling, or meeting new people at a wedding and having a laugh, I’m so happy. I love, love, love my job and I’m so grateful for the clarity I had early on about what kind of life I wanted to build.
 
This one, hands down.
 
So this maternity session on the beach is another example of a stellar day at the office. Mirabai and I went to college together in Hawaii nearly *gasp* twenty years ago. I gasp because time has a way of taking on a perspective personality of its own. A looking glass warped to seem like sooooo much has happened since those days. But when the same glass is flipped around, where did the time go?
 
It was so fitting that we reunited at the beach. The connections I’ve cultivated because of my camera are staggering. I have this beautiful, front row seat in people’s lives. I shoot their weddings, engagements, babies, family sessions. I’m bowled over with appreciation when I take it all in. What a goddamn cool gig.
