Alesha, waiting for baby Liam | Phoenix West Valley Maternity and Newborn Photographer

I was extremely excited Alesha asked me to do her maternity photos. Not only is she a gorgeous mama and mama-to-be of two little boys (like myself), she is just a sweet person and so easy to photograph! I loved how they just let their two year old play. He was running all over the place as little boys do which made him enjoy this little photo session. He even decided to be a little jokester and tried licking his dad's ear during a family photo. It made me laugh so of course, I had to include it in their gallery!

We decided to do them in the city where Alesha's husband is a firefighter. This abandoned building is something I saw even before I started taking pictures professionally and a friend of mine has shot there so I could wait to try it out. It happened to be in the backyard of one of the fire stations Shinji occassionally works at so he was very familiar. It's an old cotton gin with a ton of fun texture and weeds so I was all for it!

I cannot wait to meet little Liam. He's due to arrive next week! Eeeek! He can be here any day. So excited for this sweet family of three to become a family of four.

Congratulations, Alesha!!! You're going to do amazing and be the best mama of two!
