A romantic coastal maternity session filled with ocean air, soft overcast skies, their favorite music, and a whole lot of love. Jackie & Ajmal knew they wanted a beach setting, and the rocky coastline of Palos Verdes Estates gave us the perfect mix of greenery, bluffs, and ocean to complement their vision.

With John Legend-inspired tunes playing and nowhere else we needed to be, the evening unfolded slowly and naturally, relaxed, unhurried, and completely in the moment. I even brought along my 35mm film camera for a few frames, adding a little extra nostalgia to this sweet season of anticipation. The result was a collection of romantic, nostalgic images that feel just as genuine as the moments themselves.
