It's not everyday I get to photograph parents-to-be, but when D & D reached out with dreams of documenting this meaningful moment in Point Reyes, I didn't hesitate to say yes.

There was something about chatting and laughing with them as we stood at the top of the cliffs...

And the way the wind tugging at out hair or the waves stretching out foreeeever & how the hills caught that sunset light 😍 It was quite the adventure!

With these framed bits of their lives, I know this place holds a special memory for them now. And one day, I hope it'll be a 'full circle' moment too.

I hope they come back, little human in tow, to show them where the ocean meets the sky & where they too can come to be playful & inspired.

Nature isn't just a backdrop. It's the better part of us; helping us build our stories & celebrate our milestones. May it live & be preserved forever 🤍

(This post is dedicated to all NPS staff & supporters who have and will continue to fight to help fully preserve these beautiful spaces. You're appreciated & your work is valuable-- Thank you for all that you do!)
