The Golden Gate Bridge is one of those locations you either avoid because everyone has shot it, or you go there and remember why everyone shoots it. The bridge held space behind them on this particular June evening, and the light that came through was not subtle. It did exactly what it was supposed to do.

Ketki was radiant in the way that some women are when they are close to the end. Happy, a little tired, absolutely glowing. Kedar was steady and present beside her. They were both happy-go-lucky about the whole thing, which made it easy and warm.

June of 2025 gave us two maternity sessions in the same month. This and Ishan and Mansi's session in Palo Alto. Different couples, different locations, same kind of light, same kind of feeling just before everything changes.
