Serendipity Maternity
July 18, 2010
Roxy and I planned to shoot her maternity photos down at Fukushen Chinese Garden, but when we arrived after the long drive we were greeted with a “closed” sign! Luckily, there was a beautiful little park just a short walk down the street that served as a perfect backdrop for her session:) I love clover fields! And fountains! And humongous gnarled banyan trees! Here are a few highlights…
10 Days and Counting…

Sunflowers
January 29, 2010
Spring is here in Okinawa! Carmen and I met at this gorgeous field of sunflowers on a sunny morning for some maternity pictures. Some of you may know Carmen as the illustrator of the local children’s book Takako and the Great Typhoon. For anyone who might be interested, the books can be found at the Kids Cottage on Camp Lester and the Army Gift Shop on Torii Station…if you don’t have one yet you’ll love it! But back to the photos–I couldn not have wished for a more perfect morning or a more beautiful mom-to be…sigh…

Seawall Maternity
January 25, 2010
Maternity shoots are one of my favorite things to do…it’s hard to take a bad photo of a beautiful glowing pregnant woman who is brimming with the anticipation of what’s to come. (note to especting moms: I recommend having maternity sessions BEFORE week 36) This session featured Laquetta, who is about to have her first son:) We started in her home, and then took a walk to the park by the seawall and barely beat the rain! The connection between her and her husband was unmistakable, and what a gorgeous mama-to be!
Beach Belly:)
August 24, 2009
I met up with Amber, who was two weeks away from her due date (!) at Araha beach. She looked so great…I kept having to tell her to put her hands on her belly because you could not tell she was pregnant from the front view!! We started with some photos behind the park as we waited for the sun to get a bit lower…
Amber’s eyes are an amazing shade of green that just GLOW when the sun hits them. Next we hit the park for some fun and colorful shots…
Finally, it was getting close to sunset and we went down to the water. Some local girls came by while we were there and asked Amber to pose for them so they could take photos with their cameras!
On to a few of the beach photos. Anisten is the name they’ve chosen for their baby girl…:)
Another beautiful Okinawan sunset…I love this place!

Beautiful Anticipation
July 15, 2009
Helen and Steven just relocated here from the states for their second tour and and Helen found herself one week from her due date and in need of some maternity photos. Yes, you read that right…Helen is ONE week from her due date in these photos! I was so impressed with her grace throughout the evening. We started with a few simple studio-style shots in their home…
Then, we headed down to Araha Beach at the most beautiful time of day, an hour before sunset. First up, some family pics:)
These two were so engaged with each other, and their spunky 3-year old Mark was extremely cooperative!
Pure beauty…

It should be a crime to be that beautiful & stunning while pregnant
Great captures! -
Wowza, she is gorgeous! Wish I looked this great when I was 9 months preggo instead of the gestating cow that I was. LOL!
Beautiful images – I love the vintagey one with the umbrella and that last one should be a big canvas on the wall.
Gorgeous memories you’ve created for her! -
