Maternity: Ashley & Andrew at Balboa Island

I’ve been blessed this year by “meeting” clients through email and just completely CLICKING! Ashley is completely one of those people! We emailed back and forth about our cats and dogs, outfits, family, and nail polish! I love that I get to girl talk for a living. Ha! Needless to say, I was excited to get to photograph her very first maternity and I’m excited to see photos of their precious baby girl Harper in August!
Since Ashley & Andrew decided on Balboa Island for their early Saturday morning shoot, Steve & I decided on making a mini vacation out of it! We stayed at the Hyatt Regency in Newport and had such a blast walking around the property! The swanky lounge had a book FULL of LIFE’s Best Photographs every taken and we flipped through that for awhile after I kicked Steves butt in a giant wooden tic tac toe game. Wait, I forgot he reads these… he most definitely kicked MY butt. I can’t fool you guys. Sorry, Love! Anyway, we continued to explore and just completely enjoy ourselves and then later we ate P.F. Changs take out on our balcony over looking the parking lot like King & Queen. Haha!!

‘Nuff about us! Ashley & Andrew thank you for spending your morning walking around Balboa Island and looking pretty! Oh and especially thank you for that bottle of wine! Yum! Steve says it taste like honey and I completely agree! So sweet of you guys… Literally!!! Ok, I’ll stop. This post is verging on weird! I gotta let these photos redeem my weird description!

I love this little set below because Ashley said, “Andrew, pretend like I just said something REALLY funny!”
These folks sure do know how to be cheesy!!
…. and then Andrew & Steve helped 2 little boys carry their boat into the water. It was so sweet! What a good example of gentlemen our men are!

We took the ferry over to the fun zone!
I had to post the pole climber dude photo because it’s such a hilarious photo bomb and A&A look too cute!
