She’s back! At the end of this post there is a flash slideshow.

I’m not a big fan of purple but it really looks awesome here as a maternity outfit. On occasion, I recommend neutral colors such as white, khakis or jeans but Lei ROCKED the purple.

The other part I absolutely loved about this maternity session was the bitchin green couch in their living room.

I enjoyed photographing Lei from the front of their house looking in as she leaned on the wall and also underneath an archway from the living room leading into the kitchen.

Sometimes the best place to take maternity pictures are right inside your own home!

A bundle of joy is about to enter this world. Pictured here is Lei; due anytime now and I wouldn’t be surprised if I got the call as I write this blog post. This picture presents itself perfectly as a sneak peak (literally!) to her maternity session. I love how she peaked around the corner as she spoke to her husband, Alex. I have no idea what they were talking about but I had to get the shot!

My original idea was to have her stick her belly out the corner to get a goofy looking picture. Their family is a joyful laughing bunch which meant the session was also fun! It was done at their residence as it offered many different looks and angles. In my eyes it was perfect for photography.

So hang in there! More maternity photography on the way..

November is right around the corner and I’m posting an update on what Photos by Rowell is working on. At the top of the list is Sheree and Scott’s wedding photos. I’m going through each photo and they are turning out really well.

I’ve booked two other photoshoots:

Nathan & Riley Child Photography Portraits

I’m looking forward to working with these two kids. We’ll be working in their parents’ home and then moving to the neighborhood park to get some creative playground shots. Hopefully, the kids won’t notice me as much with the camera and act naturally but most importantly, listening to me and their parents to get the shots they want. For this I’ll be focusing on using the Canon 50mm 1.2L. I’m pretty excited to get some sweet child photography bokeh.

DJ Misha Urban Photography Portraits

Mid-November This project is currently on hold. I will have the pleasure of working with San Diego’s house Dj, DJ Misha. Just a little bio on Misha:

Born in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, DJ Misha relocated to the United States in 1991 and settled down in San Diego, California. Misha has held residencies at some of the finer clubs San Diego has to offer: Envy at The Ivy Hotel, Jack’s in La Jolla and Harneys Sushi in Old Town. He became the preferred dj for San Diego Euro Circle events, and was selected to play major fundraising events for the San Diego City Ballet and Rady Childrens Hospital.

For my own personal taste, I’ll be photographing the boats in the San Diego harbor with the downtown skyline as the backdrop. I’m also looking forward to photographing my friends and I for breakfast. The food better be great because I’ll be reviewing it here on my blog! Lastly, there will be some technology photographed and presented. You’ll see the hardware that this blog runs on. The backbone of the interwebs.

Sounds quite a lot to get done starting now through the end of November. I’m always looking for new ideas and projects so if you have any, comment it in!
