My dear friend Andrea is expecting her first child, a baby boy, with her hubby this September, and I couldn't be more excited for them. :)  It feels like yesterday when I photographed their gorgeous wedding last October. :)  Andrea is radient! Love you girl! Can't wait to meet your little guy. :)

P.S. Of course I have to mention how she keeps her pregnant body in such great shape... she practices the Bar Method, and is one of the Bar Method's AMAZING instructors!

When I first met Shadi, she greeted me with the biggest smile and hug! Love that!  We started their session in their neighborhood which is near AT&T Park, home of the SF Giants. And of course there was a game that day. The energy of the day was not lost on Shadi and Rob. We weaved, chatted, laughed and photographed our way around the crowds down the Embarcadero. I loved that I got to photograph them in the neighbor where they met. :) Shadi and Rob belonged to the same gym and one day when they both--coincidently--were walking home from the gym, Rob asked Shadi out and Rob knew almost immediately that he wanted to marry Shadi.  He even bought a ring shortly thereafter and patiently waited several months before he proposed and were married in July 2010. :)  They're now expecting their new edition this September. :) Thanks Shadi and Rob, for a day full of happiness, smiles, and cheer!  You were a breeze to photograph.  I can't wait for your newborn session. :) xo, Stacey

Maternity | Tara | Baby Boy Due November 17, 2010

My little guy, Max, 3-years-old, came with me on this maternity shoot.  When Tara told him there was a baby in her belly, his response was, "A baby? A baby! A little baby?" which perfectly expresses my excitement when I found out my great friend Tara and her wonderful hubby were expecting.  They are expecting a bouncing baby boy in November.  I couldn't be more happy for them.  Thank you Tara for allowing me to share this special time with you.  Love you Girl!  Here are a couple pics from her session!

By the way, check out how she keeps her preggo body in shape at The Bar Method!  Tara is also an amazing instructor at The Bar Method. :)
