Maternity in Bloom

My mom-to-be timed everything perfectly – a beautiful day and Texas bluebonnets everywhere we turned.

A Beautiful Perspective ~ Maternity Photography

Sandy — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 05:00:35 +0000

Sometimes, you look down because the baby kicked and you know that there has to be a footprint left.

Sometimes, you look down because all of the changes feel like they are happening way too fast, and your nervous about what might change next.

And sometimes, you look down because your husband is smiling at you – and you just realized why.

Sneak Peek for Ms. T

Here is a sneak peek for the beautiful Ms. T. We met through my friends over at the Get Babied doula collective. Ms. T. saw some of my maternity and newborn photo canvases on their walls. Thank you Get Babied!

Only one week away from her due date and a day before her own birthday! Mrs. R says that this is the best birthday present she could give herself ~ to celebrate the imminent arrival of their fourth child. Can you guess what she is having? Hint: the color of her dress & toenail polish should give it away Happy Birthday R!

So close . . . {maternity photography}

Only a few weeks (or perhaps days) left! We thought just one last session would capture these magic moments – between going over the last-minute checklists and packing, trying to make sure everything and everyone is ready. Thanks for stopping and letting me catch a few last images Mrs B.

Reflections of Motherhood

This is well worth watching ~ they ask moms if they could go back to before their first baby, what would they tell themselves.

Maternity photography meets boudoir

Sandy — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 15:24:37 +0000

As most of you have realized, not only do I provide maternity photography for a mom-to-be but I specialize in boudoir photography as well. Combining the two, maternity with a boudoir twist, has to be one of my favorites. You ask why? Not only does the aspect of life growing inside of a women continue to amaze but I think every women feels a special sensuality during this time. Not only is it a life changing moment for mom but also those around them — the way their partner looks a them knowing they soon will be holding one of the most precious gifts they ever will receive but also the love their extended family and friends share as excitement builds toward the “arrival”. They will forever treasure the moment captured of their pregnancy but also the beauty they held during that time.

Keep Me, Protect Me, Share Me

If you haven’t seen the Kodak video — Keep Me, Protect Me, Share Me – it is worth the time to take a look. I had originally posted this almost 2 years ago and during a recent class at Imaging USA the instructor shared it again. It makes me cry every time, so please have the tissues near by. Such a strong inspiration to take the time to print your photos and especially family photos. Even I need to take the time to do it.

the light within

it is amazing to see the incredible gift that having a child brings to the female form; the beauty within that glows and grows as we welcome our children to the world. thank you for allowing me to share this moment with you and trusting the vision i had for your maternity images ~

lovely ~

i had the great pleasure of attending the birth retreat workshop earlier this year and got lucky enough to have my college roommate, carol, be one of the maternity models. and, carol did not disappoint — she came with the cutest little baby bump & was just as lovely {and skinny} as she was back when we were in college at mcmurry university. we had wonderful to catch up with her but also capture the incredible beauty that she was while pregnant.

carol / duckie, i love you so much & i am so glad we were able to see each other. next time lets not wait two years between visits! l&m, sandy
