Gypsy Pregnancy Shoot

Living in Los Angeles has its benefits and one of the largest one is always having interesting people that are eager to shoot and be creative.  When I found out that my friends Luis and Angela were having another baby I immediately wanted to schedule a shoot knowing that it would be something cool and completely untraditional.  I had this image of gypsies in my mind.  Luis has this great beard and serious stare, Angela has this wild hair and Lennox (their first child) is already a little actress.

We decided to shoot in Topanga Canyon, an area of Los Angeles that Angela and I share a common love for.  I also knew we would find some shade here, which was important since we had to shoot in the middle of the day to accommodate everyone's schedule.

When I arrived, everyone had their gypsy gear on.  Long skirts, hats and scarfs were among some of the garments.  Here are some of my favorite shots from the day.
