It was a long winter and I spent most of my time focusing on childhood photography. Now that we are able to step outside and not freeze, I am finally able to get back to one of my favorite types of photography, maternity sessions! I remember when I first started tossing around the idea of starting my photography business, I scheduled about 8 free maternity sessions because, to be honest with you, they scared me. There is so much that goes into making a maternity session successful and comfortable for the mom to be. I wanted to get as much practice as I could, and it ended up being one of my favorite seasons of life to photograph.

I was so happy to get back at it with Coty and Damian at one of my favorite spots, Ashgrove Park! First let's start with how easy going and happy these two are. I am always so thankful for the attitude and energy my clients show up with. And with how prepared Coty and Damian were with all the special little props they brought; I can tell that they are going to be great first-time parents. When you're expecting, things can get very stressful the closer you get to your due date and with these two everything seemed so peaceful and calm. From their teamwork in posing and working together to nail all of my silly prompts, it was such a joy working with them.

Coty and Damian,

Thank you so much for allowing me to capture this amazing season of your life! Pregnancy was one of my favorite seasons in my life and being able to capture your beauty, love and grace during your season is such an honor for me. I cannot wait to see pictures of your little one and watch your journey and seasons change and grow.
