los angeles maternity session in film | part iii

When you read this I'll be soaking up my Midwest loves and celebrating the very mama and baby you see in these pictures at a baby shower that's bound to get wild. We can't wait to meet this little one and it's been such a joy to document this season of pregnancy for Ashley+Aaron. You can see our first and second maternity sessions (also in film), and let this one tie you over until our fourth and final that we'll be shooting next week. (To be followed, of course, by an endless stream of adorable squishy newborn baby pictures once that kid arrives and MOVES TO L.A.!)

raquel + her boyfriends

These dashing gents are the light and life of my new friend, Raquel. Gideon and Zion are 100% boy and could have jumped on the trampoline all day. And then the bed all night. But also full of kindness and good manners and love for their mama (they come running when she beckons "let's go, boyfriends!"). I was given a full lesson in avengers but as much as I hinted, they didn't offer to teach me how to skateboard. Next time.

Raquel has a masterful eye for all things vintage and her home is a collection of her best finds.

Raquel, you stunna'

I mean... I'll take an ounce of that confidence and swagger. That top knot, too, thanks.

such a lovely afternoon with a wonderfully genuine and honest family. thank you for sharing your home and your life with me, Raquel. You can follow more of Raquel's refreshing and beautiful take on motherhood on Instagram @raquellalily

p.s. you can snag those adorable t's from The Bee and The Fox.

let's stay in bed

...shall, we?
