Iram has been one of my dearest friends for many years… too many for me to count right now as I drink my second glass of classy Chilean wine. When I was pregnant with my daughter, a pregnancy I had wanted and wished for for 5 years, it was Iram that convinced me to take some kind of photos of the occasion. These are now photos that I cherish and am eternally grateful to Iram for forcing me to take them.

So when Iram told me she was pregnant and wasn’t going to take maternity photos unless I did them, I hopped on a plane and came to San Diego to get those equally priceless images for her. Man how I wish I could be there this Christmas to see her little girl fresh in the world… but her husband Corey HAD BETTER VIDEO CHAT WITH ME WHEN THAT BABY COMES.

Ladies and gentlemen; this is my perfectly pregnant bestie, Iram…

I miss you, dear friend. You are absolutely beautiful.
