G. Family is Expecting Twins | Bakersfield Maternity Photographer

Posted in Maternity

They said they never thought about the possibility of having twins before they got pregnant with twins. What’s more, when they found out that they were having one of each gender, they were so surprised and excited! Oh, who wouldn’t be? That will be so cute! I can’t wait for them to have a little girl and a little boy.

I loved photographing this lovely couple. They were not only fun, but also so good-looking. Mom-to-be told she is into vintage style. I absolutely loved her dress and her hairstyle!

Some of my favorite photos from their maternity session:

Come behind the scenes of a maternity session with a toddler… 🤍

There were a few shy moments.
A few giggles.
Some running back to mama.

And in between it all — the sweetest belly kisses and the proudest little smiles.

These sessions aren’t just about the baby on the way.
They’re about this version of their family… right before everything changes.

So grateful I get to document chapters like this. ✨
