Boy, oh BOY!

You know you are going to have a great time capturing images for your maternity session when the soon-to-be big brother does this number right off the bat….

But, since my mom didn’t raise no quitter {she was a coach & always pushed us to do our best}, these are a few captures of what we ended up with…

Mom & Dad, I must say that I really did enjoy getting to know Garrett & I look forward to you coming back for your newborn session when little brother arrives. And, I love my new Jack ball on my car — thanks Garrett for sharing with me!

I finally had the pleasure to meet this 6 month old cutie last week. His mom {maternity images here} was so patient with me when I had to call and let her know one of my birth clients was in labor; she said no problem we can move it to next week. And, although it was only 4 days later, look at what this big boy can do now — he is sitting up all on his own!!! It was so exciting to help capture a milestone that mom & dad will be able to treasure forever. Granted, mom did stay close by at all times but I believe he was able to hold his own for at least a couple of minutes. Between the excitement of him sitting up, those rosy red cheeks and those cute chubby rolls ~ ah, I was in heaven!

Join me in welcoming the precious Nick! I love being honored with the opportunity to do birth photography; being with a family when they welcome a new addition to their family is always something I treasure and hold dearly to my heart. And I can tell you for sure that this little guy will have lots of love and support from not only his incredible parents but from friends and family. His grandmother could not wait to share photos of her first grandbaby, and told me of how much she looked forward to showing off her grandson just like all of her friends to do her — she was just so cute. And, mom has some of the best friends that were able to be part of Nick’s birth day as support to her. It really was a blessing to witness and I can’t wait to see little Nick again when we do his newborn session, that is if Dad will put him down. Yes, Daddy, I’m talking to you — this little guy already has his dad head over heals in love with him…loved it!

Arriving soon…

by Sandy

I absolutely love the meaning behind this image — the airplane is actually from mom & dad’s wedding cake & now their little one is about to have his own airplane themed nursery! During the consultation for maternity sessions I ask mom if she has anything special she’d like to bring — family heirlooms, nursery blanket, stuffed animals, etc. And, when Mrs A showed up she did not disappoint. She brought the blanket that she’d used as a baby, her mom lovely mailed it to her to use for her little one. Then, the extra treat of the airplane from the wedding along with all the other airplanes dad (yes, Nick I’m talking about you) brought and lovely had them landing on mom’s belly…it was cute & also special to see just how in love this man is with his beautiful wife and their son. So, without, further reminiscing from me, enjoy your sneak peek!

“beauty has no age”

i often get asked by women what type of person comes to me for a boudoir session, and the dove real beauty campaign — “beauty has no age” — speaks volumes about the type of women that come to me. women, younger and most often older, of all shapes and sizes, wanting to celebrate the beauty they often only feel within. boudoir does not have to be revealing, it is often about a look and a feeling that comes through when you look back at the images taken. they will speak to you for years to come, reminding you of the beauty that each of us, as women, have. so celebrate the woman within!
