I met Elizabeth and BJ through my wife, as they have been friends since high school.  I then shot a wedding a while back where BJ was a groomsman. It was at that wedding where we discussed this maternity photo shoot. Elizabeth had been mentioning for quite some time that she wanted to do a family shoot with their dogs, but life had other plans and it ended up being a different kind of family shoot. We went to both Placerita Canyon and Brideport. While at Bridgeport, we ran into a group of kids that had a $5,000 camera and were trying to replicate a professional photo shoot of their friends. Pretty entertaining.
