And just like that…my son got his Permit today and I’m over here crying in a corner. Crying because I’m proud of him, I’m proud of the young man he’s becoming. Crying because I’m grateful for every milestone I get with him. Humbled by the kind of human he is. Crying because I’m scared as heck 😂, crying because Hallelujah! we have another driver in the house!!!! Can I get a woot woot? 👏 🙏🏻 🤙🏻 * * * * #encinitasphotographer #oceansidephotographer #michellenunesphotography #sandiegomaternityphotography #eastlakephotographer #clickinmoms #styleandselect #motherlylove #chulavistaphotographer #maternityphotographer #naturallightphotographers #motherhood #momtogcommunity #carlsbadphotographer #childhoodwonders #nostalgichearts #smalpresets #boldemotionalcolorful #sandiegophotographer #childrenseemagic #letthemexplore #thechildrenoftheworld #kidsseemagic #lookslikefilmkids #jj_its_kids #unraveledacademy #wildandbravechildren #connectedinmotherhood #soulmatepresets #livejoyfolie

We often hear “time flies” and it’s freaking true. I had the pleasure of photographing this couple and baby bump last year. Fast forward a year later and baby girl just turned ONE! How! Where did time go?! Btw, I’m not sure who remembers me posting about them. They were told they were having a boy and Surprise!!!! It was a beautiful, perfect baby Girl! They are so in love with her ❤️ ❤️ Never take time for granted, that’s why I’m soaking up every moment with my boys! * * * * * * #sandiegomaternityphotographer #encinitasphotographer #carlsbadphotographer #michellenunesphotography #sandiegomaternityphotography #eastlakephotographer #boldemotionalcolorful #summeriscoming #styleandselect #motherlylove #chulavistaphotographer #maternityphotographer #powayphotographer #epichues #freepeople #sandiegophotographer #monat #beachphotosessions #tourist #collectingmotherhood #momtogs #wildandbravechildren #chasingsunsets #hellostoryteller #military #navy #wholeheartedmamas #nostalgichearts #magicalmotherhood 
What makes you smile?! 😊 As I was culling this session I couldn’t help to notice how much they love to smile. Pretty much in all the photos. I LOVE that. This beautiful mama is glowing, so joyful and so in love with her boys. And you know what’s the best part? I get to photograph them again when baby arrives!!! Cannot wait to meet the new addition. 💛 Also, a quick reminder that the best time to book your maternity session is between 28-34 weeks. * * * * * * #maternityphotography #encinitasphotographer #oceansidephotographer #michellenunesphotography #sandiegomaternityphotography #eastlakephotographer #clickinmoms #motherlylove #chulavistaphotographer #maternityphotographer #collectingmotherhood #connectedinmotherhood #magicalmotherhood #momtogcommunity #carlsbadphotographer #unraveledacademy #sandiegophotographer #thebump #smalpresets #nostalgichearts ##prettyinpinkblush #authenticlovemag #dirtybootsmessyhair #unraveledacademy #hellostoryteller #epichues #lighttexturetones #motherhoodloop #loveherwild #boldemotionalcolorful 
Wow, wow! First of all, been shooting and delivering sessions but been a slacker about posting. 🙈 Secondly, awe my heart!!!These lovers went to HS with the hubs. Fiiiinally, got to meet the B. Family and had a great time creating memories for them. Summer sessions are in full swing. Been dipping my toes since last week and I’m not mad about it at all. Summer is my fave and I’m here for it! 🌈🌊💛🧡 Can we have a splash party?! * * * * * PS: full images in stories bc ig crop sucks! #sandiegomaternityphotographer #encinitasphotographer #carlsbadphotographer #michellenunesphotography #sandiegomaternityphotography #eastlakephotographer #boldemotionalcolorful #summeriscoming #styleandselect #motherlylove #chulavistaphotographer #maternityphotographer #powayphotographer #epichues #freepeople #sandiegophotographer #beachphotosessions #tourist #collectingmotherhood #momtogs #wildandbravechildren #chasingsunsets #hellostoryteller #tucson #zonies #wholeheartedmamas #nostalgichearts #magicalmotherhood 
And to think that this session almost didn’t happen…..we ended up shooting at 1:30pm, which it’s not ideal but we had to work with what we had and Laurie/Shelby made the right call. At the beginning of the shoot, it was hailing/snowing, you can see it in the first image. Then the sun came out (very bright) but felt good because it was freezing. Lots of cuddling to stay warm, lots of kisses, hugs and twirling, these beautiful girls were braving the cold and did everything we asked them to do. Bless their hearts! Thank you for sharing your family and girls with us, thank you for going with the flow. We had a great time and created beautiful memories. * * * * * * #sandiegomaternityphotographer #encinitasphotographer #carlsbadphotographer #michellenunesphotography #sandiegomaternityphotography #eastlakephotographer #boldemotionalcolorful #summeriscoming #styleandselect #motherlylove #chulavistaphotographer #maternityphotographer #powayphotographer #epichues #freepeople #sandiegophotographer #beachphotosessions #tourist #collectingmotherhood #momtogs #wildandbravechildren #chasingsunsets #hellostoryteller #awakenworkshop #altitoots #laketahoe #northlaketahoe #wholeheartedmamas #nostalgichearts #magicalmotherhood

This mama was such a trooper. At the beginning of the shoot, it started snowing, you guys it was like 35* outside, then the sun came out, it got windy, cloudy again, I mean I’m telling you the weather was bananas and yet she killed it. Part of being a photographer is always continuing my education, finding motivation, inspiration, creativity. This is why I did this workshop and it was so amazing. I learned so much and I can’t wait to implement it in my own work. Also, when I say makeup/hair, outfits can make it or break it….this is why! Can’t stop, won’t stop! I’m open to travel out of San Diego more often. Let’s find a cool location and create magic.

Well, what can I say? Awaken Workshop in Lake Tahoe was magical, refreshing and a blast. It was my third time in Tahoe and still in awe of that place and even though Mother Nature decided to play games with us, it didn’t slow us down at all. Couldn’t have asked for better instructors @laurieashleyphotography and @bellebrookephotography, they killed it. I have no words, my heart is so full. Also, we had the best group of ladies there, everyone is so talented and kind, it was so easy to bond with you all. We made so many memories and shared unforgettable moments. Thank you for this weekend, it was truly special to me. Ps: Going to spam you with pics from Tahoe, sorry not sorry!

“And in this world, she’s my world” - Pierre Jeanty Hope all the mamas had a lovely Mother’s Day yesterday. I did! However, it’s always a bit emotional because I miss spending Mother’s Day with my mom and also because 5 years ago on a Mother’s Day we left AZ to come to San Diego. I can’t believe we celebrated 5 years this weekend, where did time go?! No regrets. Happy Monday, hope you have a lovely week friend. ♥️ * * * * * #sandiegomaternityphotographer #encinitasphotographer #oceansidephotographer #michellenunesphotography #sandiegomaternityphotography #eastlakephotographer #clickinmoms #styleandselect #motherlylove #freepeople #aussiesofinstagram #chulavistaphotographer #maternityphotographer #carlsbadphotographer #militarylife #military #epichues #sandiegophotographer #collectingmotherhood #soulmatepresets #kidsseemagic #childhoodmemories #wildandbravechildren #feelingmotherhood #chasingsunsets #hellostoryteller #wholeheartedmamas #nostalgichearts 
I know it’s Mother’s Day this weekend but Dads & their girls are the cutest. I want to say thank you to all the dads that show up to the sessions willing to participate, engage, love on their kids and have fun being a good sport. I know sometimes it’s out of their comfort zone. But I also want to share a couple of thoughts. Mamas, involve your guy in the booking process as much as you can. Decide on location together, decide what color palette works for everyone, don’t make him wear something he’s not comfortable wearing, share what to expect….include them as much as possible. Trust me! Have a great weekend!!! 💛 #encinitasphotographer #oceansidephotographer #michellenunesphotography #sandiegomaternityphotography #eastlakephotographer #clickinmoms #styleandselect #motherlylove #chulavistaphotographer #maternityphotographer #naturallightphotographers #fatherhood #momtogcommunity #carlsbadphotographer #childhoodwonders #nostalgichearts #smalpresets #boldemotionalcolorful #sandiegophotographer #childrenseemagic #letthemexplore #thechildrenoftheworld #kidsseemagic #lookslikefilmkids #jj_its_kids #unraveledacademy #wildandbravechildren #connectedinmotherhood #soulmatepresets 
If a genie grants you three wishes, what do you intend to wish for? I sat here and thought about this…it was so hard. My first wish would be “health for me and family” My second wish would be “travel the world” My third wish would be “end all cancer” Other wishes would be, become a mermaid to explore the ocean. To have money to share with others. To live old enough to see my grandkids. To have a big big family. Stop child abuse and end hunger. Clean earth and peaceful world. What would yours be? * * * * * #sandiegomaternityphotographer #encinitasphotographer #oceansidephotographer #michellenunesphotography #sandiegomaternityphotography #eastlakephotographer #clickinmoms #styleandselect #motherlylove #chulavistaphotographer #maternityphotographer #carlsbadphotographer #smalpresets #converse #sandiegophotographer #collectingmotherhood #momtogs #wildandbravechildren #chasingsunsets #hellostoryteller #boyparents #lighttexturetones #wholeheartedmamas #nostalgichearts #connectedinmotherhood

Left Vegas yesterday to shoot a session last night. I’m back in the office answering emails and editing today. Holy cow! Vegas is nuts. Been there a few times, last time was 10 years ago. The only reason we went was for my son’s baseball tournament. The boys liked all the cool hotels/structures, ice cream shops. However, we were ready to come back home after day two. 😂 Anyway! Happy to be back. Don’t forget that my Fall Family Sessions schedule is out on my website. Let me know if you have any questions. ❤️ #encinitasphotographer #oceansidephotographer #michellenunesphotography #sandiegomaternityphotography #eastlakephotographer #clickinmoms #styleandselect #motherlylove #chulavistaphotographer #maternityphotographer #naturallightphotographers #fatherhood #momtogcommunity #carlsbadphotographer #childhoodwonders #nostalgichearts #smalpresets #boldemotionalcolorful #sandiegophotographer #childrenseemagic #letthemexplore #thechildrenoftheworld #kidsseemagic #lookslikefilmkids #jj_its_kids #unraveledacademy #wildandbravechildren #connectedinmotherhood #soulmatepresets 
I don’t deserve my clients! Look at this stunning mama and babies, my third time capturing her family this year and I can’t get enough. Happy Friday Friends.

Oh my gawdddd!!! I can’t even with them. Long story short, I forgot some blankets at their house when I went to do this shoot yesterday. So I saw them today since they were in the neighborhood....then I showed them a couple pictures and mama started crying, we hugged and it felt sooo good. (I miss hugging my clients). But what she doesn’t know is that I went home tearing up too. I love my job, I love creating priceless memories that will last a lifetime. I really needed this today, been trying to stay motivated, focused and inspired. Also, can you tell who stole the show? Bruin was such a good pup, it’s like he knew what we were doing. So special to include their fur kid. Anyways, my heart is so full, bursting with so much joy. Thank you D.
