I met Erica and Marcos at a wedding earlier this summer. I remember watching them on the dance floor and thinking to myself, “These two look like they have a lot of fun together.” They danced all night (they are amazing dancers) and their energy was contagious. (She also did it in heels. #impressed) I was so happy when she reached out and asked me to take some maternity photos for them.

I also remember thinking, “I never looked that good when I was 7 months pregnant.”

It is so obvious that they are deliriously happy and in love with each other and the baby girl that is going to join their family in the next few weeks. Erica and Marcos could not have been more fun to spend an evening at Nobska Lighthouse beach with. It was one of those evenings when everything comes together and magic happens.

Happy people. Beautiful light. Perfect weather.

And I don’t think that we can overlook that they are both gorgeous in their own right. They are going to have one beauty of a baby girl.

Erica and Marcos – thank you for trusting me to find the right spot to take your photos, and for walking through seaweed and squishy sand. For changing in a parking lot and being so beautiful on the inside and out. There is nothing more special than a first baby. All babies are special, but waiting for your first baby is such a beautiful time in a parent’s life. You two are going to be amazing parents and Baby C is going to be showered with love.
