mama’s waiting…

I really enjoyed meeting this lovely couple, and I had a great time photographing them. They are expecting their first child in June and are anxiously awaiting his or her arrival. Me too, as I will have the added pleasure of photographing the little newborn, and I can’t wait!

When you book a newborn session, you receive a complimentary maternity mini session, and this mama, like many before her, was hesitant about doing the maternity session. Sadly, it’s true that hardly any expectant mama feels as beautiful as they look.

I explained that, worse case scenario, we spend a fun half hour together (yes, fun) and call it a day. I asked her to trust me, to understand my belief that regrets are for the things you never try, and thankfully, she did!

I hope she can now agree, this was certainly worth the time and effort. I got so many great images and here are some to tide them over until their gallery is ready (soon).

One thing is for certain, this baby is going to be one gorgeous kid, and with eyes to die for!

I love this next image. A blue sky overhead, green crunchy grass underfoot, a warm shining sun and a sweet young couple plus one. That’s a great recipe!

I also met their handsome dog, and we spent a few minutes together before the session while his mommie and daddie were getting ready. He’s a big guy, but he’s a complete marshmallow. Of course it wasn’t long before he was totally bored with me and my camera stuck in his face, but I just had to show you his gorgeous eyes too!
