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 =)
I was so excited when mom contacted me to let me know she was expecting, and that she wanted to do a gender reveal shoot. This family was one of my very first clients and they have been with me along my photography journey. Even more importantly I’ve been along with them for their journey into parenthood, and am so honored to be able to watch their family grow again. I’ve been dying to a gender reveal shoot like this, but every time I have one set up someone always ends up peeking. Originally we scheduled this shoot for tomorrow, but the weather did not look very good so we decided to do it tonight because mom didn’t think they could go without peeking if we had to re-schedule until next weekend. I’m so glad we were able to do it. It was so exciting to watch this special moment unfold and see the raw emotion. I can’t explain it but it felt amazing to watch so I can’t imagine what it felt like for them. Judging by their pictures I think it’s safe to say they are ecstatic, and shocked. They both thought it was going to be a boy. I’m so happy for your “P” family, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with your family and sharing these moments with me. I can’t wait to meet your baby girl =)
But I don’t want a little sister, I wanted a little brother!!! =)

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 =)
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!
