Holly and Chris

Ahhhh...maternity pictures. I love maternity pictures. I have the coolest job in the world and I love taking all kinds of pictures....but there is something about maternity pictures that gets my creative side so excited! Taking pictures for a couple in such an important time of their lives is such an honor. And I do not take that lightly.

I met Holly when she came with her BFF for a bridal consult. Holly was the Maid of Honor, and let me tell you, she ROCKED the MOH position more than anyone else I have ever seen. At the wedding Holly was already pregnant but not too far along. So after the wedding when she emailed me about maternity pictures I was super excited! I think we had this session scheduled more than three months in advance!! I am not sure who was more excited...me or Holly. (maybe a close tie) The session was actually scheduled for a Saturday a few days prior we moved it to Friday because the forecast was showing a big chance of rain. We met at one of my favorite locations and instantly all three of us were laughing.

Holly and Chris were like pros, super models...like they had been doing this for years. I posted some of my favorites on Facebook but wanted to put some new ones here. Thanks Holly and Chris! I can't wait to meet Jensen!

Yummy Light

One of my obsessions is light. Natural light, artificial light, window light, filtered light, soft light...you name it and I am obsessed. I would say 9 out of 10 times that I walk in to a new place or look outside I am analyzing the light. In a building or someone's home the first thing my mind goes to is what room or spot would be best for a photo shoot, you know..just in case I get asked to start taking pictures. ;-) I am seriously NO EXPERT when it comes to light. But I want to learn any and every thing I can about how the light affects my camera and my exposures.

So speaking of light...I am diggin the light from this session. This is the kind of light I want to bottle up and take with me wherever I go. Yummy light.

Red

Ohhhh how I LOVE red-heads! Those of you that know me personally know why I love red-heads but for those of you that don't know my sweet daughter Zoe has red hair. When she was born I didn't get to see her for a few hours (I had a c-section) and the first thing I asked my hubby before I saw her was if she had hair. He said he couldn't remember! So I had to wait until she was in my arms to see for myself. The nurse brought my sweet baby girl to me and she had on a knit pink and purple hat so I couldn't see right away. But when I pulled the hat off of her head I saw the most beautiful, baby-fine, STRAWBERRY blonde hair...I was speechless...and instantly in love with my little red-head. That memory is definitely on my top ten list.


Enough about my red-head! Let's talk about these two! Momma picked out great colors to compliment their skin and hair, I was very impressed! We had a great time and took these pictures in probably one of the fastest photo shoots ever. I can't wait for her to see them all! Here are a few for you guys to check out....
