Desert sage and canyon glows for this expecting mama

When Katlin said that she wanted to meet me at Diablo Canyon for her maternity session, I was over the moon. This location is not often requested, although I'm hoping this post will encourage more. In the summer months, the canyon is especially magical due to the river of sagebrush flowing beneath the dramatic cliff walls. The sun sets behind the canyon, creating a beautiful glow and rim light. Katlin wore a simple white dress, which is the perfect contrast to the dark basalt. I'm so happy with how this gallery turned out, and I'm looking forward to another session here very soon.
