{Andrea Gallagher Photography | Seniors | Families | Custom Portraiture}: October 2010

When my friend Brittney approached me about doing maternity photos of course I was ecstatic. Such an amazing and precious moment in life to capture an expectant mother and the new life that will soon be. I have known Britt for a while now and she is hands down one of the most wonderful women I have been blessed to know. She is a wife, mother, and woman of faith that is a joy to be around; so when she told me she wanted to have her photos be 'edgy' I honestly loved the idea! I felt it would be a step out for both of us and was excited make it happen. We waited for the bump (Robby) to show himself more and then we began to scout out locations and work on outfits and accessories to convey this. I can not tell you how diva my friend was at this shoot (thanks to Tyra she claims:) and the shots are absolutely stunning of her to say the least. Beautiful inside and out, Love you my friend.

Love this one, her smile is contagious

Robby and Mommy

Love the hat

This shot was so perfect, after I jumped through the window and shot it from the other direction:) ha

Again with the smile!

Love this one in black and white

I love this angle. She looks like a queen.

She really is naturally this flawless... unbelievable.

Thank you God for sunshine...

Gorgeous

See the window, much better from the other side:)

I had to stop on our way to the next location and shoot this, SO glad I did!!!! Looks like heaven

Brittney says "This is my I have a secret to tell you look" HA

Love this in sepia tone

Stunning

This is actually a little shed, I dreamed of this shot.

Baby boy.

This was the first day in her life she wore red lipstick-seriously.

Tyra has nothing on this girl.

You are one lucky baby Robby.

Where do I begin about how much I adore this lovely family... Martha is my friend and hairstylist and we have known each other for a while now. We connect on many levels; hair, fashion, values, family and when I told her I was starting my own photography business and showed her some of my shoots we knew our styles would be perfectly matched for some amazing family photos she had been wanting done. Martha selected the location, San Diego's first mission and that was pretty much it, she needed no wardrobe help which I knew so that was that. I showed up and was in awe. The beauty and peace at the Mission de Alcala first thing in the morning as the sun was warming was nothing short of breath taking. The family arrived with the family dog in tow and we jumped right in! As you can see they are all incredibly photogenic to say the least and the setting is wonderful but the love of this family comes through in every shot and that's what makes this shoot so special for me.
