Maternity Saturday – are you pregnant? Considering having your maternity pictures done? Wondering when the best time is?⠀ ⠀ I usually suggest doing your pictures when you're 33-35 weeks pregnant. It's generally right after your belly pops, while still right before your body settles in for the final stretch of pregnancy.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #MaternityPhotographer #SanDiegoMaternityPhotography #maternityglow #babybump #sdphotographer #lajollaphotographer #stylishbump #expecting #babylove #parents #maternityshoot #maternitysession #sandiegomaternity #sandiegopregnancyphotographer #sdpregnancy

I've always been a behind-the-scenes type of girl, but when you get a ✨stellar headshot you gotta share it for #fridayintroductions! . . So, Happy Friday! I'm Jax ✌🏼. Here are 3️⃣ fun facts about me: . . 1. When it comes to chips and salsa, WATCH OUT! I will vacuum those bad boys up like no tomorrow. 2. Speaking of bad boys, I married one in 2016. His name is Dylan and he swept me off my feet the minute I met him! On a side note: He is so brave that when he took the sorting hat test, he was placed in Gryffindor (…sadly, I was not 😢). . 3. Now that you are wondering, I have taken the sorting hat test twice now (just for good measure!). I was shocked and unshocked to learn that I teeter between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. I suppose I can't complain, it's a mix between the 🦄 mystic and the 📚intellectual, and it's probably also why I re-read the Harry Potter series almost every summer 🙊. . Writing three fun facts was a lot harder for me than I thought it was going to be, but I'm not going to let that stop me from posting this. Thanks @lisarileyphotography for the headshot! . . . . . #fridayintroduction #therisingtide #communityovercompetition #sandiego #sandiegowedding #sandiegoweddingphotographer #fallbrook #fallbrookwedding #fallbrookweddings #fallbrookweddingphotographer #carlsbad #carlsbadwedding #carlsbadweddingphotographer #socalwedding #socalbride #fridaymood #sandiegolife #sandiegolifestyle #sandiegolifestylephotographer #2018bride #2019bride #encinitas #encinitaslife #encinitaswedding #encinitasweddingphotographer #temecula #temeculaweddingphotographer #fallbrookphotographer #jaxconnollyphoto

No extravagant props needed here, just happiness of being with her favorites- mom and dad and a pretty field! Sometimes the best way to capture a child's real smile is as simple as having them run and play. This photo made me smile, so of course I had to share with you! (And btw- isn't her hair amazing?!) Q: What types of photos are your favorites to see on here? #wildflowerstudiophoto #wildflowerstudiokids
