Man I am a lucky girl, I really really am. I get to spend time with people in the happiest times of their lives. Sometimes it is a wedding, sometimes it is a baby, and sometimes it is the beautiful bump that can come between the two. I started talking to Lindsey a year ago when she purchased a gift certificate for her friend and colleague who was having a baby. She found me through my session with Daria’s epic baby bump session a few years back. That baby turned quite a princess  and such a fun session.  So when Lindsey contacted me to say that it was her turn to be a mama I was thrilled. Lindsey and Erik were lovely to spend time with and capture. We did a few more intimate images in the studio and then went outdoors to capture some of the beautiful summer night. Lindsey is also absolutely stunning while pregnant, yeah my job is awesome.

Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

Lindsey & Erik thanks again for meeting me in town and choosing me to capture this special time. I am so excited to meet this little one once he arrives! I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek, I will be done with the whole set shortly.

Just a few years back on a beautiful sunny July afternoon it was my pleasure to capture April & Brian’s wedding. It was a great day filled with love, a little drama due to the rain, but so much joy. It is still one of my all times favorites (you can see it here). So when the email came in announcing they would soon need maternity photos I was thrilled to work with these two again. A&B are expecting not one but TWO baby girls any day now, so we spent another beautiful sunny afternoon taking photos to celebrate.

Here are a few of my many favorites from our session together…

Brian & April thanks again for hanging out with me! It was great to catch up with your sweet growing family. I can not wait to meet your baby girls when they arrive! So excited for you guys. 🙂

I. Love. Melissa & Mandy.

I do, they are sweet, kind and endlessly loving.

I can not WAIT to see them as parents.

It seems like just yesterday I was shooting their engagement session. I also loved capturing their wedding just a few years ago. When these ladies contacted me a few months back to arrange a maternity session I was beyond thrilled for them. Inside that beautiful belly is one lucky baby! We had such a great time catching up, talking about birth & babies, and hanging out.

Here are a few of my favorites from our session together. (Also first session started in the new studio!)

Melissa & Mandy I am so thrilled for you guys. I can not wait to meet your little one, and capture you all as a family. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. I will have the whole set for you very soon.

I love it when worlds collide. Jen started contacting me after she saw my darling little sister’s maternity photos this past summer. After chatting for a while we set up a shoot on a warm spring evening in the hills above our homes. After chatting with her and Clay a bit we figured out we actually knew quite a bit of the same people. My sister, old friends from summer camp and even a former mentor, it really is a small small world! It was a great evening, and I am so happy with the images we created. Even if we did have to dodge teens making out, and a few not so cared for trails on our hike.

Here are a few of my many favorites…

Jen and Clay thanks again for being up for anything! I had a great time capturing you two, and baby “maybe” (the real name is a secret!) I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. I am very much looking forward to meeting your little lady when the time comes. 🙂
