What a magical day it was during our maternity photo session at Oxnard Beach! The sun was shining, the waves were crashing, and the air was filled with the smell of salt water.

Let me introduce you to Melanie and Rj as they are eagerly waiting to welcome their baby boy. Any day now, the excitement is building up, and the countdown has officially begun!

Melanie and Rj are both originally from Oxnard/Ventura. Melanie is a free-spirited soul and adventure seeker and Rj even though is a bit of a homebody but is always up for an adventure whenever Melanie nudges him out of his comfort zone. They complement each other perfectly, creating a truly beautiful bond filled with laughter and endless support.

They couldn’t be more thrilled to meet little Elias and share all the beautiful moments ahead as a family of three.

Melanie and Rj, thank you very much for letting me be a part of your journey. I truly am honored to capture all the love that you share. You are embarking on a beautiful adventure, and I cannot wait to witness the joy that baby Elias will bring to your lives. I hope these images will always bring back the warmth of this time for many years ahead.
