I love maternity photography.

One big regret I have in my life is I did not have maternity photos done with my first kiddo.  it was such an amazing time, so many big changes, and so much joy. The few snapshots I do have just do not capture it, oh well. So when I had my son almost 2 years ago (wow where did the time go!) I ended up having one of the most photographed bellies of all time. And I love each and every image. Knowing I will never be doing it again, I am so glad I captured it. 🙂

So when I get a chance to capture this special time for another soon to be mama and couple I just love it. Becca and  Ian were great to work with. They love the outdoors and wanted to celebrate this important time in the beautiful fall leaves. We lucked into some great weather a few weeks, and made some great images.

Here are a few favs from our session.

Becca & Ian thanks again for being suck good sports, and up for all my wacky ideas. I really loved working with you two. I can not wait to meet your little one here soon! The whole gallery will be up here shortly as well.

It is no secret I adore Katie & Charlotte. These two ladies are always great in front of the camera. First for their engagement session, and then it was my honor to capture their beautiful winter 2009 wedding. Well the lovely ladies are back again this time to celebrate the coming of their little girl! I just loved hanging out with these two again and capturing this special time for them.  Clearly these two are stoked to meet their newest addition, and Katie looks so amazing pregnant!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Katie & Charlotte thanks again for coming out to my neck of the woods for the session. I had a great time hanging with you all again! I can not wait to meet your little lady. She is a lucky, lucky little girl to have you two for parents. I can not wait to capture you all as a family. 🙂

I have known Jen for many years. We grew up going to the same summer camp and I always thought she was the sweetest little thing. She was a year younger than me, and always kind and smart. Jen was the kind of girl you always wanted on your team or in your cabin. Rob was also there at summer camp and winter retreats, he had that same sweetness and kind spirit. So years later when I heard they got married and started a family I was not shocked at all. It was a natural fit and made me smile, and my smile got bigger when they recently contacted me about setting up a maternity and newborn session for their second child due this summer. I LOVE maternity sessions. Capturing a beautiful moment in that special time always makes me happy, so working with these two and their adorable 2 year old daughter was my pleasure. We got together not long ago at the studio and had a great time chatting and talking baby. Miss A, soon to be big sister quickly stole my heart as well.

Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

Jen & Rob thanks for coming out to meet me at the studio. It was great catching up, Jen you look amazing! Your little girl is darling, I can not wait to see baby #2!  I will have your whole gallery done very soon.
