Shelby is my radiant sister in law. I was the maid (okay, officially MATRON) of honor in her wedding. I've known Shelby since she was just 7 years old so she truly feels like more of a sister than an "in-law" - watching her grow up and into the stunning, smart, loving woman that she is has been a gift. She was meant to become a mother so when they announced that they were expecting we were all over joyed.

We decided to do her maternity session the week after Christmas at El Matador State Beach in Malibu. Known for being extremely crowded we lucked out going on a Tuesday in the dead of winter. What a beautiful location for a beautiful couple!
