What I enjoy about pregnancy portraits is how often it’s about a moment of being still, a pause. The soon-to-be will soon become – and your heart will feel full. I’d love to share with you this maternity session and say to this expecting mother “You are full of beauty.”

A newborn session celebrates a new life, a new little love, so sweet and snuggly.

This newborn baby girl is petite and sweet and I’m excited to photograph her as she grows during the next year of her life ❤

This  adorable “big brother” is always on the move so my guess is that his soon to be little sister will probably be crawling right away just so she can keep up with him  I think the only time he stopped was for a quick hug or kiss from his mommy and daddy. Such a fun and sweet family, I’m really looking forward to meeting their baby girl!

Nothing can prepare you for the day you finally meet your new little love. Such a sweet surprise and nine days new, welcome to the world little girl!

The soft light from the cloud-filled sky created a perfect moment on this path to capture this beautiful couple anticipating the arrival of a precious baby girl.

Another beautiful breath of life that is lovely and loved in every way.

I so often want to tell expecting mothers to enjoy this moment, the waiting will be over too soon. For as much as you can tell someone about being pregnant, the experience itself is inexplicable. Having the ”before and after” of this time in your baby’s life creates memories not only for you to have always, but a special reminder for them of where their life began.

You may remember this couple from their engagement session sneak peek. They are an easygoing pair and we had a beautiful Spring day to make the most of, resulting in the photos below. In just a couple months I have the honor of photographing their wedding as they become Mr & Mrs ❤

A sneak peek from today’s maternity session, one with the incredibly adorable big brother and one of this beautiful expecting mom.
