I don’t like to play favorites…but maternity sessions with a beautiful red head on our family farm at sunset (even without sun)….? It’s a little hard not to! I adored this session, and tend to adore maternity sessions in general. I don’t actually shoot a lot of them- I think a lot of women feel really uncomfortable during pregnancy, especially during the end of it, and just are not in the mood to be photographed, which I get from having been there…twice! But I just want to grab them by the shoulders, look them in the eye, and say “Sister! I have been there, and I get it! But you are carrying LIFE!”! Not to be too cheesy or anything. But it is an AMAZING thing, and a gift you can give to your children that will mean something INCREDIBLE to them. I would give so much to see a picture of my mom pregnant with me! Ok off my soap box! 🙂 Hannah and Derek met me last week on a warm evening to wander in the fields and it was absolutely magical! Hannah is a stunning pregnant woman, and they were just so sweet together and I could not be more thrilled that I will be photographing their new baby boy in a few weeks when he arrives. I absolutely adore these images. This little man is going to be LOVED and it is absolutely beautiful to see. Meet Hannah and Derek!
Um, this on the left? LOVE it!
Girlfriend, seriously?! So beautiful!
Ok all of these in the grass are just my favorites…some of my favorites EVER.
Hannah gets a dimple and a nose crinkle you will see later when she really gets laughing…love it!
Love this!
So cute!!
You guys…I cannot wait for September! Or August, if Derek is right! 😉 Hope you love these favorites!
