I met the nicest parents-to-be at their maternity session last night. A wonderful couple who’s expecting their first baby next month. And I’m so excited because I’ll be photographing their sweet girl during her whole first year!

We had a lot of fun with different poses on the black backdrop, and then we went to a nearby park for several shots. We ended with the last image below—Dad gave the stuffed dog to Mom to keep her company while he was out of town.

R and E, thanks so much for inviting me to your home and sharing this exciting time with me. I hope you and your family in Brazil (Olá!) enjoy the sneak peek. I’ll be in touch soon with the rest of your gallery.

This session was so much fun! I met the mom-to-be several months ago when I had some physical therapy for my jaw, and during our first session (before she was even showing) I mentioned that I do a lot of maternity and newborn photography. She said, “Then I’ll have to come and see you in a few months!” I’m so glad it worked out and we were able to do a session.

I’ve done a lot of maternity sessions, but for one reason or another most of them have been indoors. I was excited that we had nice weather so we could do a mix of indoor and outdoor images.

The last photo was taken in a bit of an “unconventional” setting . . . outside a funeral home! We parked in the home’s parking lot so we could walk to a nearby location, and when we saw the landscaping we all thought it’d be a great spot. I hope they don’t have security cameras! 🙂

B and C, thanks so much for a fun session! I’m looking forward to meeting your little one, and I’ll be in touch soon with the rest of your gallery.
