You may remember the D family from a few months ago. Back then mama was about 5 minutes pregnant and we ran out to do a family session to capture their life before a new baby turns it upside down! Well time flies (at least for me–I’m not the pregnant one!) and they’re back! This was a fun maternity/family session as part of their “watch the family grow” album we’re putting together. This is such a special time for them– the last few weeks before their family expands. I love this shot of Dad talking to Baby C. He’s just oozing pride and joy, isn’t he? Then there’s Mr. J. imparting his big brother words of wisdom. So cute! I know they’re counting down the days. And so am I. I am positively thrilled to be invited to be a part of Baby C’s entrance into this world. Stay tuned!

Meet their first “baby”. Should we consider this a family portrait of their lives before the newborn arrives? I’ll tell you, she’s very well behaved and great at following directions. I hope their next baby takes a cue from this one!

All kidding aside, we do have plenty of mom and dad alone. Who doesn’t love the canine family members? But I know you wanted an actual maternity session too! Thanks for being so patient! Enjoy the peek.

This was such a fun maternity session. It’s not every day that I have a pregnant mama telling me she wants to jump around and have me to take her picture in mid-air! These two came prepared with all sorts of ideas and had the best time doing it. They just love to have fun and it totally shows. I’ve only included one water fight picture, but trust me, there are more where that came from! In typical form, they’re also on their way off the island. So, this was also meant to be a farewell to Okinawa session to let them remember their time here. And they tell me this will be their first session as a couple so these will be the only photos of the two of them before kids. Hopefully we covered all the bases!

So, here’s your official sneak peek since the itty-bitty one the night before vacay didn’t really count.

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?

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!

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.

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…

…pregnant bellies!

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

A relaxing afternoon on the beach, enjoying each other’s company before the next phase begins.
