A lady in waiting

Pregnancy photography is so much different than the typical family session. I had been doing so many family portraits back to back lately that this was a fun change of pace. Of course my maternity sessions are always focused on the couple anyway. That doesn’t mean that we can’t have a few of mama alone though. She looks like she really is glowing, doesn’t she?

And yes, if you’re wondering if that’s rain in the last picture. Sure is! No sooner than dad-to-be said, we don’t have much time, it’s coming in fast, it started raining on us! As it started to come down I begged them to keep playing for just a couple minutes before we ducked in for cover. I do like the rain shot. I also love the one of her leading the way. That one really captures her personality I think! But then again, I like them all! It’s really hard to pick which ones make it to the blog! You tell me, which photo is your favorite?

Waiting for baby

I think we got rained out twice, but finally we lucked out with a perfect weather day. Marlyn called me at one point trying to schedule a mid-week date to have her husband take a vacation day so we could get this done. She told me she didn’t think the baby wanted to stay in much longer so we had to hurry! Well, I say she looks great for being so close to her due date!

They told me they were nervous and didn’t know what they were supposed to do…

I think they did ok!

…and we wait. Until baby says it’s time, we’ll wait. Hope to meet you soon!

A baby story

It isn’t every day that a man calls me to request a maternity session. But this dad-to-be scheduled both maternity and newborn pictures as a surprise for his beautiful bride.

These two were just fabulous. They were relaxed, casual, and
comfortable with each other and with me. I told them to just ignore me
and be themselves, and they did. Perfect.

Doesn’t she look like a goddess?

We did a few of her by herself of course…

…but the dynamic between the two of them was really where it was at.

She is so vibrant and fun and he was just so sweet with her. I truly had such a fabulous time. It was an amazing day.

Mommy glow

I love my maternity sessions. It feels like I get to be just a tiny part of the miracle coming so soon. Some of my favorite things– babies, birth…

She’s got that new mom-to-be glow, doesn’t she?
