The Sata Family. (Los Angeles Maternity Photographer)

When Megha called me inquiring about getting a maternity shoot done, she was a bit apprehensive. She was at the tail end of her pregnancy, and feeling pretty uncomfortable.

I told her I felt the exact same way just before my baby girl was born. I also explained, despite how awful I felt I ended up doing my own maternity shoot and now am SO happy I did.

Even if the pictures are just for my husband and me, it was worth every minute. When I look back at my photos, I smile- remembering what it was like to FEEL a baby growing inside me. Remembering how extra nice people were, holding the door open, or helping with groceries. For just a minute I forget the lack of sleep, heartburn and back pain.

Luckily, my story sold her. The day of our shoot, the weather was gorgeous. The lighting at sunset was buttery and perfect. There was a calming in the air and the beach was quiet at the days end. For a short time that evening, this little family of three enjoyed one last time together on the beach. Just a few days later, Megha gave birth to a baby girl.

Congratulations to Nihar, Megha and Malani!
Thank you so much for letting me experience such a special time in your lives...
