West Beach Maternity Shoot

Written By Melissa Johnson

 I had the absolute joy of capturing a maternity session for Liv, her husband Ted, and their adorable puppy, Sunny. The setting couldn’t have been more perfect: West Beach in Santa Barbara, where the golden sands meet the sparkling Pacific, creating a dreamy backdrop for such a special time in their lives.

Liv embodied the beauty of motherhood in flowy, ethereal dresses.  One of my favorite details was her flower crown that a friend had made for her baby shower the week prior.

It was easy to see the excitement and love they share as they prepared to welcome their baby. From tender moments by the water’s edge to laughter-filled shots with Sunny bounding around, every photo felt like a glimpse into their beautiful journey.

This shoot was a celebration of love, family, and the anticipation of new life. West Beach provided the perfect setting, and Liv’s radiant energy made every moment magical.

Here’s to more golden sunsets, joyful moments, and the beauty of life’s transitions. 

Love, Missy
