Griselda + Phil's Sneak Peek {Maternity Sesssion}

Griselda and Phil took another spin in front of my camera last week in honor of their new arrival due August 2014.  There are not words to describe just how much I love how their maternity session turned out!  These two are so cute together, and Griselda is so full of sass and so much fun to photograph. I simply adore both of them and I'm excited for them as they prepare for the new addition to their family.

They asked to have their session at the park with the LOVE statue, which is a gorgeous place for photos. We got lucky and their session fell on one of the nicer days we've had this month.  So, while it wasn't exactly cool, it wasn't quite fry an egg on the sidewalk hot, either - at least not for me or Phil.  Poor Griselda might have a different opinion of the situation.  We did their photos on a weeknight evening, so we didn't even have to wait too long for our turn in front of the statue, which was an added bonus.

Seriously, could they be any cuter!!...



Phil and Griselda decided not to find out if they are having a boy or a girl, either way one lucky kid is on the way!  He or she is going to have some pretty awesome, loving parents.



This is one of my favorites...


So sweet!...



I just love how happy they both are in this one!...


Another favorite...


Griselda, you are STUNNING!...


Another fav...


Phil told me that during their last session their fur kid, Cudi, stole his posing mojo because he was too worried about how Cudi was behaving to concentrate, but he was prepared to rock the posing this time around. I think he succeed!  These two definitely make posing for photos look easy...


Too adorable for words!...





More sweetness...



And, finally, with the statue...



Griselda + Phil, As always, it was awesome seeing both of you and spending the evening hanging out with you guys!  Thank you for the opportunity to take these photos for you.  It's an honor capturing these special moments and memories for you two.  Congrats on the new addition to your family!

Jamie + Jake's Sneak Peek {Maternity Session}

It makes my heart happy to be sharing photos from my FIRST EVER maternity session on the blog today! Every time I experience working with a new type of client, it amazes me how each area of photography can be so different.  I adore photographing couples, and posing them comes second nature to me, but add in a cute little baby bump and it was like starting all over.  Lucky for me, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect couple to photograph for my first venture into maternity photography.  Jamie and Jake are so laid back and down to earth!  It was great to work with people so willing to go with the flow of the session, not to mention so photogenic.  Since they didn't require much prompting to look awesome, it let me spend my brain power on dreaming up pregnancy poses.

I suppose I shouldn't really be calling this a sneak peek for Jamie and Jake since they actually already saw these photos.  Jamie wanted to display some of her maternity photos at her baby shower today, so I sent them to her early.  So, for everyone else, here is a sneak peek of Jamie, Jake, and their soon to arrive baby girl.

This first one is definitely a favorite!...



I adore the history in this next one!  The chair belonged to the baby's grandma (who I photographed back in the spring), and the stuffed animal was Jamie's. So sweet that the baby will have these things passed on to her…


If you've been around the blog for a while, you are probably well aware of my love affair with shoes! Are these baby converse not just the cutest things you've ever seen?...


Adorable!…




So sweet!…


Jamie, you are gorgeous!…


Another fav…


Jamie and Jake,  I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to take these photographs for you during this precious time in your lives!  Congratulations on the new addition to your family and I can't wait to hear what name you decide on for your baby girl.
