Monterey Maternity Session - Inez & Michael

3/21/2016

18 Comments

 
Recently I had the opportunity to photograph my friend and very talented hair stylist Inez. She's only weeks (maybe days!) away from welcoming her first child into the world. I've known Inez for the past few years and I just couldn't be happier or more excited for her and Michael. Knowing that Inez is a very all-natural sort of person, I wanted to give her maternity session an earthy and whimsical feel with lots of warm tones. Inez understood exactly what I was going for and came with her hair done up in this beautiful braid. We dressed her (with some help from a friend's wardrobe) in beautiful neutral colors and this gorgeous tulle skirt, and took to the outdoors in Monterey. I was a little anxious about the weather, as it had been pouring buckets all morning. But the forecast said things would clear up by the afternoon, and with her due date fast approaching, this might be our only opportunity! So we kept our fingers crossed and watched the skies for a break in the rain. Fortunately, luck was with us, and we were able to take advantage of all the lush green that the recent rain has provided.

Long before we'd even set our session date in stone, I knew that I really wanted to put a bit of nature into Inez's hair. These lovely pink flowers made just the right accent to her thick braided hair.

When Michael was able to join us, he brought with him a very special pup. The very dog that brought them together! Inez told me the sweet story of how they met: she just needed to see who was holding the leash of this beautiful dog!

It was truly heartwarming to see Inez and Michael together, so in love and so excited to welcome their new boy or girl. They've chosen to find out the baby's gender the old-fashioned way. After all, what's life without a little surprise and whimsy?

Once she's back from maternity leave, Inez is available for booking and all things hair at the Siren Salon in Monterey. Follow her on Instagram here!

It was such a stroke of luck, and it had been raining cats and dogs recently, so everything was so green and lush! It probably does not look the same right now... :)
