There’s something so profoundly beautiful about the way two people glow as they prepare to step into parenthood for the very first time. It’s a kind of light that comes from deep within; a mix of anticipation, love, and wonder. At 38 weeks, Mirna and David were in that magical space between “just us” and “family of three.” Every conversation circled back to baby kicks, nursery details, and what it would feel like to finally hold their little girl. You could feel their excitement and it was absolutely contagious.They wanted to capture this moment before everything changed. Mirna especially wanted some portraits that celebrated her body, strong, beautiful, and creating life. There’s something so empowering about honoring this chapter, about pausing to see the beauty in the transformation that comes with motherhood.
We met at a quiet park close to their home, surrounded by soft evening light and the gentle hum of nature. It couldn’t have been a more fitting place; peaceful, intimate, and filled with that warm, golden glow that mirrors the love between them. Watching them laugh together, hold hands, and dream out loud about their baby girl made every frame feel so full of heart.
From tiny toes to sleepless nights, their greatest adventure is just beginning. Parenthood changes everything. It stretches your heart in ways you never knew were possible. And being able to document this fleeting moment, right before their world shifts forever, is such an honor.
Mirna and David, thank you for trusting me to capture these tender, love-filled moments. I can already tell your little girl is coming into a home overflowing with love, patience, and joy. Here’s to new beginnings, late-night snuggles, and the beautiful chaos of parenthood. From newlyweds to parents of two, the Fuentes family radiates joy and warmth. Their July maternity session was the perfect reflection of that — soft golden light, summer air, and genuine connection. Haley glowed with that unmistakable second-baby excitement, and Anthony was, as always, the steady, loving presence by her side.
It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do — capturing the in-between seasons, the anticipation, and the love that tells the story of a family’s journey.Congratulations to the Fuentes family on baby number two! I can’t wait to meet the newest little one and document even more of your family’s beautiful milestones.
