Drum roll please!!

I have finally finished Dylan & Karin’s maternity session! I flew up to Baltimore at the beginning of May and I did the session in a gorgeous historical area! I had an absolute blast and I was honored to be able to take their maternity pictures!! I am sorry for the lack of words, but it is late and I honestly can’t keep my eyes open any longer, so without further ado… ENJOY!!

Karin is quite the model:

oh, I love this series so much.

oh, Dylan….

Thanks to Dylan for throwing, ever so delicately yet masculine-ly, the feather-like leaves

On the way to the park, I spotted a perfect field that we may or may not have trespassed onto on the way out…

That’s gonna be one good-lookin’ baby!

I think these are 2 of my faves:

I love you guys! I can’t wait to do the newborn session VERY soon!!

Justin & Lauren are having a sweet baby girl (Chloe Lynn) VERY soon! I just love this couple. They are too precious! They are NO DOUBT going to have a gorgeous baby. Justin & Lauren, I wish you the best as you begin your family and I am so honored to have been a small part of it I pray that your little one will walk with Jesus each day of her life! ENJOY!!

LOVE this one!

I decided to test my skills on top of the parking garage. I have been wanting to try it for a while and I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner!!

I am obsessed with this series:

I realize this one is completely out of focus, but I think it’s beautiful!

FAVORITE!!

Beautiful mama:

a snippet from a recent maternity session 500 miles away of 3 of my favorites (that’s right, Baby Shorty, I’m already a fan)…

I apologize for my lack of blog posts. It has been a super crazy 2 weeks over here PLUS all the bridal sessions I want to post but can’t until after the weddings. Bear with me! I have TONS to share very soon! My editing fingers are working as fast as possible!!

Baby Jackson is due in June and he has a wonderful, loving family waiting for him . Last friday, Jason, Cindy, 4 year old Luke, and I met at the Governor’s Mansion for a family maternity shoot. My first maternity shoot!! It was so much fun and I had so many ideas that I had been dying to try out. It was an absolutely PERFECT day too! Here are my favorites:

Luke is so excited about his new brother:

Hot mama:

LOVE this!

I love how animated Luke is:

Dr. Luke (who knew being a nurse would come in handy for photography?)… he didn’t hear much in mommy’s belly, but he got so excited when he listened to his own grumbling belly. Good thing I brought along fruit snacks to fix that. They also worked very well for bribery . 

Luke opened up to me very quickly… mostly because he thought I was “Aunt Sara.” That’s okay, I can be Aunt Sara

another FAV:

heck yes… 

Okay. Look at Luke’s face in the right image. Hilarious.

I love this image. Babies are the biggest gift & miracle God gives us. 

This might look weird without explanation… I brought along some finger paints to paint Cindy’s belly. It’s one of the ideas I wanted to try. I thought it would be fun for Luke, but wasn’t sure how well it would work out. Cindy and Jason were so great about letting me try all my new stuff that they were willing to take the chance of being covered in blue paint. Of course I waited until the end of the session to try this one, but this one also worked well for bribery throughout the first part of the session. Luke couldn’t wait for the finger paints! I kept saying, “we are going to have so much fun painting mommy’s belly.” He loved it and I love the way it turned out! When we finished, Luke said, “Let’s have some more fun… I want to have some more fun.” So cute.

The finished product… a little lopsided, but I still love it

Stay tuned for Jackson’s newborn portraits in June!!
