los angeles maternity session in film | part II

Part two of growing baby Wilcox is here! When Ashley told me she was pregnant (at the END of an hour-long skype meeting; I still can't believe she held it in that long), one of the first things I expressed was how excited I was to see her maternity fashion choices. Five months in and now with an actual bump to dress, she is not disappointing. What a classy Mama-to-be. Here are a few favorites from our film shoot at 20 weeks.

My most favorite place to photograph people is in their homes. It adds such a wonderfully personal aspect to the photos and documents this particular stage of life in such a lovely way. I got to team up with Molly from Almost Makes Perfect for a little at-home Valentine's inspiration -- some Valentinspiration, if you will -- when asked to share her favorite Urban Outfitters goodies with a romantic mussel meal for two. You don't have to wait 11 months for Valentines 2016 for cuddly night in. Go ahead, put on those comfy clothes and settle in. (You can find her mussel recipe, too!)

I can't even begin to describe how excited I am to meet this little biscuit. My sweet friend and creative partner, Ashley, is busy growing a tiny human and I feel so lucky to be able to document this precious time alongside of she and her husband, Aaron. We'll get to see each other a few times during her pregnancy (and then way often when she MOVES TO CALIFORNIA!), and she asked if I'd snap a few photos each time we're together to document babe's growth. I smiled and let her think that these photos wouldn't have happened if she hadn't asked... Here are a few favorites at 16 weeks from our first round back in January when they came for some sunshine, her thirtieth birthday party and the job interview that solidified their upcoming cross-country move.
