Waiting for baby - the Maternity Session

This shoot took place a mere 7 days before baby girl arrived! Doesn't Mom look amazing?

Big sister-to-be isn't quite sure what to make of it all...

Keep checking back for a few images from the newborn session. I've already met the little one and she's a stunner! Our session is this weekend so I'll have the blog updated soon after editing the images and uploading the private gallery for the family. Stay tuned.

Four weeks to go...

...until this little one arrives on the scene!

Mom-to-be is a natural in front of the camera and it clearly shows. Dad-to-be joined in for a few and even their beloved dog got in on the action!

Thanks to Auntie-to-be for help with clipping and wrapping and general primping of her gorgeous sister during the shoot.

As I add these images to this post I'm reminded to say a few things about my maternity sessions:

The session is about you. You choose what it is you want to document about your pregnancy. The degree to which you are clothed is your decision. Maternity sessions are personal and I always respect your wishes regarding what it is you'd like to capture. I wholeheartedly believe that we can come away with terrific images whether you're in a turtleneck, without a stitch of clothing or somewhere in between.

Bottom line - it's about you. Ummm, well for another few weeks or so....then it's all about BABY!

Soon to be second time Mom!

You've heard of the pregnancy 'glow' that some women have? You don't have to look too hard in these photos to see it coming from April.

I'll be back (with my camera in tow) when your new baby decides to arrive!

Note the progression here...

A long while back I posted Melody and Blair's engagement pictures.
Then their wedding pictures (I don't do weddings btw!)
Now here's a few of their maternity pictures.


Stay tuned for the newborn session....

RITA: Glowing Mother-to-be

Rita and Jesse wanted to document her first pregnancy in photographs and I was happy to help. That was a few months ago and now they're the proud parents of an incredible baby boy. Congrats to both of you!
