We celebrated Leah’s beauty and her body’s marvels with a maternity boudoir photoshoot, overlooking the Santa Ynez Valley on top of some of the highest points in Santa Barbara. What a beautiful way to celebrate this mother-to-be, while connecting with Mother Nature. Her sweetheart, Chris, was so attentive and so caring. He patiently observed as we photographed away, and also joined in on a few photos. We started off at Knapp’s Castle, and then headed to higher ground for a truly magical view and sunset.
From Leah…
“This pregnancy has been one for the books. From extreme nausea for months, migraines, 2 severe colds and a dislocated rib twice, rarely did I feel good. However, every time I looked in the mirror I grew more and more excited at what my body was capable of. I booked this boudoir maternity shoot to remind me of what a gift us women have to be able to grow a person inside us. To celebrate life. To celebrate me. These photos make me feel even more beautiful, strong and sexy!”
Here’s to our bodies that can create, sustain and undergo such incredible feats, and to feeling beautiful all the while!
