Mom and dad are so in love with their baby on the way.
Elisa, the founder of Events by Elisa, and her husband Ryan asked us to film her maternity shoot with Melissa McClure Photography. We met at Kit Carson Park in Escondido, CA, and began with the interview portion of Baby Wishes. They had the sweetest answers and the most tender sentiments for Baby Suter. Years from now, when Baby Suter is older, she is going to appreciate the time her parents took to document their pregnancy. It is a true treasure.
Next, we made our way throughout the park taking advantage of some fun bridges and scenery. It was so fun to work along side Melissa. We were laughing the whole time. Be sure to visit her blog to see more pics of Elisa and Ryan’s maternity photographs.

Often we are asked if Baby Wish maternity videos can be filmed at the same time as maternity photographs. The answer is YES! We were so happy to find out that we would be shooting with San Diego’s La Vida Creations. We headed to Little Italy to document Amy Vargas, founder of First Comes Love, a wedding planning and consulting company. Amy and Erik are first time parents and realized that they want to preserve the memories of this special time in their lives. Watch out – This interview has some super sweet answers from dad, some of the best thoughts about parenthood we’ve ever heard. We know that his little girl already has him wrapped around her tiny finger!
To view the photos from La Vida, head on over to their blog!

Liam is the sweetest little boy you will ever meet. He loves to run around at the park and get dirty. He explores everything in his path – rocks, dirt, leaves. He enjoys it all. His parents soak it all in and really cherish each moment. During their Baby Wish interview, mom and dad tell him some very sentimental thoughts that they are feeling. Liam had a 50% chance of life. With those odds, you can see why he is a special, vibrant child. I was touched by the sentiments and I can’t wait for the moment Liam will watch his video and know how much he is loved.
We also have to send much love to Nursery HeART for the great sign the made of Liam.
