I usually love maternity sessions, but I loved this one even more because it’s my little niece in that beautiful belly! My sister in law, Carrie, is due with her first child in July and I couldn’t be more excited. When they were up last weekend for her baby shower I was able to document Carrie’s growing belly. As I was driving to the session I felt like a storm chaser or something–I was seriously watching the sun set before my eyes and was hoping that I would get there in time. But I must admit, the beautiful glowing sunset was the perfect compliment to Carrie’s natural pregnant glow. I just love these images.
{S}, I had a great time (as always) with you this afternoon. Though we weren’t able to get images with little {T}–I hope he feels better soon–I think we captured some awesome ones of your and your soon-to-be little one. I hope you love your sneak peek! I’ll have your gallery ready for you soon!
I just loved this bridge and had to get an image of the three of them on it. Turns out it must be a creative eye thing because my close friend and fellow photographer actually captured virtually the same image during a session she did at the arboretum that same day. I absolutely love all the green, the flowers, and the rustic feel of the bridge. Great scenery! 
This next image is one of my new favorites (I know I say that every session, but my clients are just so beautiful!). I love the blue background and the ground cover at their feet. And it was no small feat to get this image! We had to dodge a nesting mother duck and avoid her getting too upset with us (Dad, thanks for being such a good sport!) But it was well worth it to capture this image of Mom and Dad.
When clients ask what they should wear to a session I always tell them how much I love photographing color. I really like when their outfits just pop and compliment one another. This next image is a perfect example of that. Mom’s gorgeous orange dress has just a hint of color that’s pulled out into Dad’s shirt. I love how they match, but don’t have to be wearing the same thing to coordinate.
And just because Mom is so beautiful, I had to include some of just her (and baby of course!)
Mom and Dad–thank you so much for meeting me on Sunday and allowing me the opportunity to photograph this amazing time in your lives. I can’t wait to meet your new little girl in August! Your full gallery will be up within the week. In the meantime, enjoy your sneak peek!
And what a gorgeous head of hair–I just love it! I was also so glad that Mom and Dad wanted some family images taken as well–they are such a beautiful family.
I love the look on {O’s} face in this next one with Dad. Actually, I love the looks on both of their faces. You can really tell what a proud Papa he is.
Mom and Dad, thank you so much for inviting me into your home to capture your sweet girl’s two week images. Your online gallery will be up very soon!
