Meredith & Victor are Adorable, In Love & Expecting | Maternity Session | Mill Valley

Chloe Jackman — Fri, 16 May 2014 19:18:36 +0000

Meredith and I have become wonderful friends after meeting at our mutual friends wedding we worked last year (almost to the day! PS Happy Anniversary Don & Yesi!) and I was so honored when she asked me to shoot their maternity session. I mean seriously look at these two! This adorable little family of two is getting ready to become three and I’m over the moon excited to meet the little man! Did I mention he is the first grandchild in the family? It’s a celebration!

So happy for you two!

Danielle & Stephan are having a baby!!! | Alameda

Chloe Jackman — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:18:29 +0000

I’ve known Danielle and Stephan since before there was a Danielle and Stephan! My adventures with this wonderful family I now consider myself to be part of, begin with Danielle’s older sister and her beautiful pregnancy which brought the adorable Laiyah into the world, who is now almost four and I’m so happy to say I’ve been there to watch her grow every step of the way. Then two and half years ago I got the phone call that Danielle and Stephan were in love and ready to tie the knot! So we jumped right in and planned a gorgeous engagement session followed by their stunning pastel pink summer wedding at Palmdale Estates last June and now we are celebrating two becoming three with Eden Alexandra on the way!!!

First comes the engagement….

Then comes the wedding…

Then comes baby on the way!!!

Mariah & Hedger are Having a Baby! | Maternity | Niles

Chloe Jackman — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:01:25 +0000

I’m so excited to share this session because Mariah and Hedger have been friends of mine for years…it’s crazy to get the point in life when you can say you’ve been friends with people for years! Anywhoot, now they are expecting a little boy or a little girl and we (our posse) couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome their new life. In our usual fashion Mariah’s maternity session was a group event with Annie’s backyard as our backdrop (we did Annie’s session here 2 1/5 years ago before the birth of her adorable twin daughters who can be seen below being sassy little models) and Margo as the stylist and with Mariah striped down almost nothing until we took full advantage of the afternoon sun and gorgeous fabrics until our final group shot complete with outfits for everyone including me and the dogs! We finished our afternoon with a delicious BBQ and time around the fire pit reminiscing on our days as young ladies running a muck (and while we can still get down, with the get down, the truth is we are all growing up and embarking on our next adventure).

I love you guys and can’t wait to get the call to join you in the delivery room and welcome your little schmoo into the world! Congratulations you are going to be amazing parents!

Ryan & Liliana’s Romantic Maternity Session | SF Presidio

Chloe Jackman — Fri, 31 May 2013 17:20:57 +0000

Having shoots like this is so much of why I love my job, when I get to be a part of your story, part of the special moments, the kind of moments that change your life forever. Meet Ryan & Liliana (again), they are clients who have become friends and I have loved every adventure we have taken and I couldn’t be more happy for them and their new chapter…a baby!!!

Two years ago (almost to the day of our session) Ryan called me on a Sunday night asking if I was available two days later to shoot his City Hall Elopement to his soon to be wife Liliana (I LOVE how spontaneous elopements can be…so romantic!). So we met in the lobby, signed the paperwork and had a intimate ceremony just me the judge and the two love birds, then we hoped in a limo and drove around the city shooting and had a fabulous afternoon celebrating there love…see!

THEN 6 months later Ryan called me and said we’re having our big celebratory wedding in Mexico with our friends and family…can we bring you down to capture our next chapter? My answer was…DUH!!! Of course I would love to, so we did (Justine came too…bestie vacation!). Gorgeous right?

So in their usual style Ryan gave me a call on a Sunday afternoon…”Hey Chloe, guess what we’re having a baby! ” Me: “What?!?! That’s so exciting, I’ve been waiting for this news from you guys! When are you guys due?” Ryan: “In 3 days, think we can schedule a maternity shoot?” Me: “What?!?! 3 days! Holy crap! This is why I love you guys..let’s do it!” So on her due date we went on a wild adventure through the Presidio ending at Baker Beach, where their Elopement session ended 2 years earlier. It was cold and windy and Liliana was an absolute rockstar changing from one little outfit to another and it was all worth it becuase lil’ Valentina is going to have wonderful, loving images of her parents BV (get it? Before Valentina!). I can’t wait to meet her!

…and just to bring it full circle we took this one again, but instead of a wedding dress and a suit, it parents getting ready for their very first lil’ schmoo!

Susana & Marco’s Maternity Session | Cavallo Point

Susana & Marco found me through my good friends Adri & Alex and are expecting a little boy of their own in just a few weeks. We decided to do our session at Cavallo Point, a sweet little place just over the Golden Gate Bridge and while the wind was CRAZY we still had a fabulous time! I can’t wait to meet Lil’ NTBD (name to be determined )!

Adri, Alex & Lil’ Joaquin | Maternity Session | Presidio

Chloe Jackman — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 04:20:34 +0000

I’ve known Alex almost as long as I’ve known my Boo and they have been friends since they were 14, so there is definitely some history here. I can still remember when Alex met the love of his life and the way he glowed and grew into the sweet, wonderful man he has become. Adri is a ray of sunshine and brings light and laughter everywhere she goes and if you really get her going you might even her a snort or two. I found myself cracking up all over again as I sorted through their pictures remembering all the fun we had during their shoot! And let’s not ignore all the amazing props they brought, Adri knows what she wants and makes sure to take the time to figure it out. She is her very own DIY / Pintrest…see for yourself! Thank you for sharing this wonderful time with me.

Can’t wait to meet you little man.
