polka + dots

forget winter! we had another gorgeous and sunny few days this past weekend, and it was perfect timing for a maternity photo shoot i had planned with my sister and her husband to capture her final month of pregnancy before the baby arrives. all dressed up, a few special props and what better spot than down on the marina beach?? you can't ask for a more stunning view than the golden gate and alcatraz as your backdrop! i decided to take advantage of having this view plus my favorite photographer on hand and squeezed in a few shots of my own.  check back friday for the highlights and creative ideas we came up with for their shoot!    

a different take on monochromatic dressing: pure polka dots

neon pink accents

varying spots: polka dot chambray shirt + large dot capris
