When S and I discussed what she wanted for her maternity session she mentioned that she wished we could go outside… Outside in Feb? I was totally up for it. The truth is, after being cooped up indoors for all my sessions since October, I was itching for some on location outdoor shooting. And then I got lucky. With a big snow storm looming in the forecast for our session day, I knew that even if we just got a dusting, it would be enough for some great outdoor shots. And that’s just what we got. As I trekked up her snowy and slippery walkway in my boots, clutching my camera for dear life, I looked around and quietly cheered for more snow. I rang the doorbell and was greeted by a tall, slim, gorgeous blonde. Whoa. Lucky again. So we got some indoor work done… quickly and easily… it was effortless for her… My 5’4″ self stood on a chair for most the session. Ok fine, 5’3.75″ =) We hurried outside and I instantly saw her face light up and her eyes sparkle…she told me she loved the outdoors and evidently, the outdoors love her back. The camera picked it right up too…




What I love about these two shots is the great eye contact in the one on the left – shows off her great eyes, but the connection is in the one on the right – she’s looking at her husband. =)

I present you with my first set of newborn twins! Aren’t they delicious? What was it like, you ask? It was dreamy! During a typical newborn session there is some downtime when we stop for a feeding or cuddle from mommy but not with these twins… my hands were full of squishy newborn goodness the entire time and I loved every second of it! It was really cool to see how, at just 9 days old, their personlities were already so evident and so different. Big sister, older by just 1 minute, was the fiesty one… she was spirited and vocal about it! No matter… a full belly and a toasty warm room and she was putty in my hands. Baby brother was the most easy going, sleepy, and content newborn I’ve photographed, I think. He would’ve let me photograph and pose him all day without a peep. This was one of my best experiences photographing newborns and I’m so glad it was with twins because I’ve got two more sets on the books!






A maternity model. She’s not, but she should be. Expecting her third baby (yes – third!!) in a few short weeks, she is vibrant, fit, and looks amazing! You’d never think by looking at these images that she’s a bit shy and doesn’t exactly love being in front of the camera (she actually prefers to be behind it). But there’s no denying it, she’s one hot mama! M – I had a blast during our session – congrats on baby #3!
