I had the pleasure and honor of capturing our dear friend’s maternity pictures this weekend. We’ve all been anxiously awaiting this sweet baby boy, or “the boy” as they refer to him. Mom and dad weren’t quite sure exactly what they wanted for photos so we just played around and had some fun. I love that I was able to be a part of this special time for them and cannot wait to meet and photograph their precious baby. We’re so happy for both of you =)
Let’s just start by saying I loved this session. I already knew it would be a great session because this is such a sweet family I’ve had the pleasure of photographing and getting to know. Then add a beautiful spring evening and gorgeous light and it was just perfect. Mom and I have been talking about this session for a little while. I knew she was not crazy about typical maternity pictures but still wanted to capture this important time in their lives. So I really wanted to capture some pictures that would not only do that, but that she might actually love. This also really gave me the opportunity to shoot images that I like to shoot, or that I would love for myself. After taking them on a little walk off the beaten path and into a not so pretty looking field, we captured some amazing images. I cannot thank this family enough for not even questioning me but just trusting me. Big sister “AK” was such a trooper. She didn’t complain at all and was her usual happy self. You can tell she is excited about her new baby sister and is going to be so good with her. Thank you “G” family for another great session and for getting me excited about shooting again. I can not wait to meet your new addition!
Our nephew and his wife Sara are expecting a baby boy next month. They came up to visit us this weekend so we could capture this special moment in their lives. I took advantage of them staying with us and we did some in-studio shots, some outside shots and then some creative lighting shots. This was Sara’s first photo shoot and I have to say, I think she rocked. She’s 36 weeks and gorgeous -it made my job easy Here’s a quick sneak peek of some of your shots, thanks for letting me play and practice with some of my new equipment. I can’t wait to love on baby “T” and capture his first few days of life =)
Someone is going to be a big sister! I spent Sunday afternoon with the “G” family. They are expecting a baby boy in the new year and big sister was definitely excited. She was full of personality and gave me her signature smile and pose, such a sweet girl! Mom and dad are into nature and hiking so we met at Yates Mill Park in Raleigh for their session. It provided a great backdrop to capture this exciting time in their lives. Special thanks to Nana for coming to help and keep everyone warm and happy. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I can’t wait to meet your little bundle in January!
I had so much fun with this session, and this couple! Mom had her heart set on Yates Mill for her maternity session. It is absolutely gorgeous there this time of year so I was more than happy to oblige! It was cold, windy and gray – the effects of Hurricane Sandy. That didn’t stop this adorable couple from having fun and looking stunning. I loved how casual and relaxed they both were during the session. They were laughing and giggling and it is quite obvious that they are smitten with each other. We had a great time exploring the park and getting to know each other. At the end of the session we included their first baby, Riley into the pictures. What a sweet boy he was! Not only was he well behaved, but he was quite photogenic too! Thanks for braving the weather to come meet with me “S” family. I can’t wait to meet your precious baby boy!
Neat little fact – mom is due 12/12/12. I LOVE December babies, you can be I’m already planning that session in my head!
