Another gorgeous mom-to-be that is awaiting the arrival of her new baby boy. I loved the outfits she chose, her hair looked amazing and even though she said she wasn’t sure about posing she did perfect for these pictures (and dad-to-be did too)! I just love wildflowers so I’m glad that we were able to incorporate some with her flowing skirt. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek:)
This is my beautiful sister-in-law that is officially due in about a week. We’re so impatient to meet this new little one and I can’t wait to do his newborn photos. She knew that she wanted to do the “bump” sign photo and we went on a search. There were a couple to work with but all of them were in places that didn’t have the best backgrounds. A certain other someone (you know who you are…ha) suggested “borrowing” it. I gave her a sarcastic answer about me going and “borrowing” it because it’s in plain view where everyone would see me and this over-sized sign. I can just see that. It’s huge and wouldn’t fit in my vehicle. So what then? Tie it to the top? Can’t you just picture this? Then she said that we could “borrow” it during the night. I could picture the headlines: “Local Photographer Caught Stealing a Road Sign”…claiming that it is for a photo session. So, I asked her the most important question. Would she bail me out when I called her in the middle of the night?! I’m pretty sure she was joking about the whole thing (or maybe half joking) but she did say that she’d bail me out. That’s reassuring;) Anyways, we went with the safer route and just rearranged the sign. We did get a lot of strange looks but hey you do what you’ve gotta do to get the shot!
Here are the last of the sneak peeks from last weekend. Hope y’all enjoy!
This photo session kind of came together in an interesting way. We had talked on the phone, booked the session, emailed each other and talked on the phone some more. The first name of the person that booked sounded familiar (it’s not very common for a female) but I didn’t initially think twice about it. When it came to me as to where I had heard that name I started wondering if it could be. And it did end up being that person….my neighbor that I had met once a long time ago. We can literally look out the window and see each others home. Pretty funny that we had been communicating without realizing we were talking to our neighbor. After talking about the coincidence and the craziness of it for a few minutes we got started with the pics. They were great subjects…game for whatever and looking amazing. We tried to do a little bit with an urban feel and a little bit with the flowing grass in a field.
Thanks for letting me capture some of the last pictures of you guys as a family of two:)
This momma-to-be looks gorgeous. She’s 37 weeks and looks about as far along as I did at 25 weeks! She is all belly. Why do some people gain it EV-ER-Y-WHERE(me) and some don’t even look pregnant from the back(her)! I can’t wait to meet their baby girl at her newborn session:)
Wow, it seems like everyone that I’ve worked with lately is expecting a newborn or just had one. So, here’s another one that is expecting and can’t wait to meet her!! Their daughter is ALL smiles and you’ve gotta love that with her big, adorable dimples.
This lovely family is expecting twins and I can’t wait to meet them at the newborn shoot:) Hope you enjoy the peek.
Normally I would re-schedule a shoot when it rains but I had already driven about an hour to get there (stuck in afternoon traffic) and then with a maternity shoot you are already on a time constraint. It started raining shortly before I got to their home and I was praying that it would stop by the time I arrived or that it would let up at some point. Luckily, it did. We were able to get some shots out on their patio, on a balcony, inside and then finally the rain stopped long enough for a few outdoors. Thanks for being such troopers!! Hope you enjoy your peek:)
Such a beautiful family. If I had looked that good pregnant I think I would have done a couple of maternity shoots:) Hope you like these:)
My mom is still in the hospital. She went in for one problem and ended up having a heart attack and a small stroke while she was there. It has been a roller coaster from day-to-day to say the least. The good news is that she was moved from ICU to a regular ole room today and there is talk of her going home. THANK YOU so much for the continued good thoughts and prayers that you have sent my way. It means so much:) Thanks also to my clients for being so patient with your pictures. I have been spending a lot of time going down there (it’s almost an hour away) and shuffling the kids around so that I can go to see her.
I spent some time today catching up on sneak peeks and I’ll tackle some proofs tomorrow. I hate that you’ve had to wait longer than expected on proofs but I’m sending a little something extra your way to hopefully make up for it a little bit:)
I thought this mom-to-be looked magnificent! Such a nice family and I loved everything about hanging with them except the heat! I had 2 sessions back-to-back this day in the am but afterwards said that that would probably be the last mid-day shoot for months! It was hot, hot, hot. And the funniest part of the shoot was when mom and dad would bribe their daughter with an M&M. She would literally take at least 3 or 4 bites of each one. Those things are tiny and to be able to make it last for several bites is pure talent. I can’t even stick to just eating one whole one at a time…it has to be a whole handful.
