Adventure Awaits!

Image
Hi gang! I was so excited to meet up with Erica and Jon at High Shoal Falls in Dallas, GA for a stunning – and terribly sweet – maternity session. At the time, Erica was mere 4 weeks and 1 day away from giving birth, so you can only imagine how she was feeling while we were roaming around finding the best spots to shoot! She was a trooper, though, let me tell you. Her skin looked amazing, her hair was perfection, and her Dress was on point. This couple has a special relationship and a special story to tell their little one when he/she gets older. They chose a picture that says Adventure awaits as one of their props. I don’t think they realized that when they met along that trail, where the trail would actually lead them. They met online and met in person along the Appalachian Trail starting in Pennsylvania. They hiked the remainder of the 2200 trail together north from Pennsylvania all the way to New Hampshire. Erica said, “Through all the hard times the trail dealt us, w...

Mom+Dad+ baby=family of 3

Earlier this year I did a maternity session with this family. Mom was 37 weeks pregnant and so ready to meet baby Lucas. Dad was just oozing with pride and love for his little family. Baby arrived approximately 2 weeks after our session and is now a month old and is the cutest little guy. Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing his 1 month photos as well as taking pictures of the family together with their new little one. The love that flowed from these two to each other as well as the little guy was overflowing. They were so happy and I loved being able to capture these sweet little moments of new parenthood for them. I am looking forward to continuing to capture these moments in the future as the little one grows up. Being new parents can be rough and comes with its own set of challenges. Baby L was born with infection and had to be in the NICU for a week. Mom choose to stay with him while daddy continued to work. It was a rough first week but they made it through. There will b...

Mom in Training

Pregnancy is a special time in a woman's life where she goes through the changes physically, mentally and emotionally to prepare for the little one growing inside of her. Most mom's experience a sense of pride and joy in their upcoming bundle and can't wait to meet them. My latest client was no exception to this rule. She had the Pregnancy glow down to a T and her husband was beaming with pride at the idea and excitement of their new little one. She is due in Mid November so we had to get her in for a quick maternity session before little baby L made his entrance. We choose the pumpkin patch because it was a fun theme with Halloween coming up. The dad got a kick out of comparing belly to pumpkin and they had a wonderful time just relaxing and having fun sharing their excitement of their love for each other and their little one. The love for each other and this little baby was what I was hoping to capture in this session. Here is a sneak peak from their session. Fami...
