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!
I met “E” & “J” last night for their maternity session. We almost were afraid we’d have to cancel the session due to the storms we had throughout the day. Luckily just before our session the skies cleared and the sun came out to deliver some beautiful evening light for us. Unfortunately the heat and humidity also accompanied the sun. I had a great time getting to know this sweet couple and their little fur baby – Gypsy. Gypsy was great, and very cooperative! I think she enjoyed being incorporated into the pictures. She is in fact part of the family after all. E&J rocked their session tonight, and their pictures show that. You can see the love they have for each other, and the excitement they share for the soon to precious little boy. Thanks for sharing the evening with me, and letting me get to know you both. I can’t wait to meet your little one and capture his newborn photos!
