Yanira is one beautiful mamma-to-be.  She contacted me a while ago after having seen another client’s images – I just love referrals!

The weather has been so finicky lately, but with an out-of-town shoot, you just kind of have to cross your fingers and hope you make it through – it’s a lot harder to reschedule after the travel has already been made!  I got rained on on the way to the session, and we had overcast skies the whole time, but luckily the weather held out long enough for us to capture this amazing time in the family’s lives.  Before you know it, this family of two is going to become a family of three and their whole world is going to change in the most amazing way with the birth of their son!

I am so glad you found me and contacted me, Yanira.  Your family is so sweet and I enjoyed ever minute of time I got to spend with them!  I look forward to the day when I’ll be headed back over your way to take pictures of your sweet little boy!

Meet Amy.  She is the sister of previous client Kaylee and the sister of recent client Beth.  I just love referrals!

Amy is oh-so-close to her due date.  Her little one will be snuggled up in her arms before you know it.  So when she contacted me this past week about doing a maternity session with her and her husband, Joel, I didn’t hesitate to get her worked into the schedule.  And I’m so glad I did!  She and Joel were a pleasure to be around, not to mention a stunning couple!

Amy is just glowing!
I love shooting at new locations.  We met up at St. Leo’s University and between the giant trees and gorgeous architecture of the old buildings we were able to get some really fun shots.  I love the repetition of the pillars here and the contrast of the white of the pillars with Amy’s gorgeous dark hair.
Such a gorgeous setting!

Thank you so much, Joel and Amy, for such a fun time.  I look forward to seeing you again in the very near future!

There is always a bit of time urgency when it comes to maternity sessions.  The window of time between a belly that is big enough to photograph and the time when baby could make their arrival at any time is pretty small!  Beth’s original session was rescheduled due to weather, so we were both relieved when the weather held out long enough for a second try at pictures!  Tommy and Beth are such a sweet couple, I’m just thrilled that the opportunity to capture some memories for them worked out!

Little baby Jacob could literally come any day now.  I love the name, and dad and mom said it was an easy choice!

It was pretty foggy outside the morning of the session, but the fog actually allowed for some really lovely lighting.  I love these images!
Beth is such a beautiful mommy-to-be!

Tommy and Beth – thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to get to be a part of your excitement!  It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I can’t wait to hear that little Jacob has arrived.  He’s one lucky little guy to have such awesome parents!

Betsy is the niece of one of my most favoritest people in the world, so when her Aunt Lauri asked me to do maternity pictures while Betsy was in town I jumped at the chance!  Betsy and her hubby are expecting their first baby, a sweet little girl, this July.  She is one GORGEOUS (and itty bitty petite!) momma!

I just love baby bumps!  While taking this picture we were talking about how amazing it is that there’s actually a little person inside of there.

I LOVE these pictures.  I mentioned the night before the session that I wanted to take this particular chair outdoors for the session.  I’m not sure Lauri thought I was serious about it – but I was!  And I’m so glad she obliged because these pictures are some of my favorite maternity pictures ever!

And, of course, we wanted to get daddy in some of the pictures as well.  He’s as equally excited as mommy to meet his new little princes.  No doubt he’ll be wrapped around her pint-sized finger in no time at all.

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of capturing this special time in your life!

Remember the sweet little munchkins from this post?  Well I’ve been waiting a couple weeks to share the REAL reason for our photo session.  Amanda asked me to come take some special pictures of their family to help share a special surprise with those closest to them – and now that the word is out, I can share too!

Congratulations, Matt, Amanda and family, on the new little fishy that you’ll be adding to your school!  I can’t wait to meet the new little one when he/she arrives!

Amanda made this storyboard into a card to present to family as an announcement of the upcoming family addition.  I can’t wait to see the finished product (card AND baby)!

Ellis and Rocco had a blast splashing in the fish bowl.  Seriously. Most. Adorable. Thing. Ever!

No posed portrait session can EVER substitute for the emotion captured in REAL moments.  I absolutely love this picture of my sweet friend sharing in her children’s excitement!

Thank you so much for letting me have a part in sharing this wonderful news!  It was so much fun!
