Nikki: Maternity Pictures | Santa Cruz, California | Heather Hurt Photography

When I asked Nikki what she wanted to do for her Maternity Pictures during our weekend in Santa Cruz for her baby shower, she said “something casual and Redwoods-y” and of course with Zelda!

Yes. Please.

Last time I got to photograph Nikki and her Great Dane, Zelda, it was one of my favorite shoots ever (Check it out here!) so I was thrilled to be able to capture them again as Nikki’s family is growing. She is on the final countdown waiting for this precious baby to arrive. Little Annie is so lucky to have such an adoring pup and strong, loving mama. I see lots of adventures in their future- whether a stroll through the Redwoods or a trip around the world! I love this little family and can’t wait until she is here!!!
