I always say I have the greatest clients, and I’m not kidding! The Palmer family is definitely going on my growing list of incredible people that I’m tickled I get to work with!

Mom called me up a while ago to set up some maternity photos during her third trimester so we could document those last few weeks of being a family of three. Their new baby—it’s a surprise, so we don’t know if it will be a boy or a girl—is due to greet them in early May!

We couldn’t have asked for a better evening! There was a little light wind, but the sun shone down in abundance, and we even had a bit of high tide, which made for some great shots of Mom in the water (and some great bloopers)!

I especially loved being able to capture their daughter—isn’t she just the most gorgeous girl? When I asked her if she wanted a brother or a sister, she changed her answer several times during the session. (I think by the time we were done, she wanted a brother, but that might have changed since then!)

Thank you again, Palmer family, for being so amazing and fun to work with! I’m so glad I was able to capture this beautiful pregnancy on the beach in Hawaii, and I wish your family the best of luck in the future!
