My First Maternity Session: Lots of pics

Meet Andrea and Geoff: They are just the cutest couple and we had so much fun with them and on this shoot. When Andrea first contacted me about her upcoming newborn session, she also inquired about a maternity session to document her pregnancy. I had never done one and I guess when I think of maternity I was thinking of the typical ones where their are bellies showing and the Dad kissing the belly and so on.. You know what I mean and I do want to clarify that there is nothing wrong with that, it just was not my thing. But Andrea just really wanted to play with shadows and have some fun. I had a TON of fun. It was such a great session and we were able to use light and texture and color everywhere! Andrea and Geoff have such a true connection with each other and he had her laughing throughout the session and it was so wonderful to capture that. We had some pretty amazing light at the Guthrie and used their windows to our advantage! My friend, Margie, joined us and it made such a great afternoon. Now I am in love with Maternity sessions and if you are looking for something a little more like this give me a call. I have some really great ideas I would love to play with this spring and summer as well!!

There are a ton of pictures that I wanted to share with you. Thank you Andrea and Geoff for the great afternoon and I am so excited to meet the little guy when he arrives.



















I asked Andrea is she had any cravings with her pregnancy and of course Chocolate was on the list. So I was trying out an idea I had but not sure if the baby liked it!

This was her reaction after the baby kicked the bar off. I think he wanted her to eat it not place it on her tummy!
