a few classic studio shots…

I’ve had several maternity sessions here lately and the big question is always, “what should I wear?”.  It can be difficult because you want something that is stylish and chic, yet comfortable, as well as finding something that accentuates your tummy.  And with the limited places to shop for maternity clothes, that can be no small feat to find the pieces to that puzzle!   This What to Wear guide is good for a mom-to-be alone, all the way up to a family maternity session.  Check it:

I always suggest bringing several items of clothing, and something like the above outfit, plus a plain black tank (can be worn with same jeans for look #2), works fab — it’s as simple as that! 

Until next time,

It was a chilly Saturday morning when I traveled just outside of Tyler to photograph this sweet couple who is awaiting the arrival of their first baby.  It was such a great creative outlet for me – their home and property are beautiful and it was fun to shoot at a new place, away from my usual haunts.    Have a peek at some of my favorites from the session:

I love how these two (who are high school sweethearts) looks so comfortable together.  They look completely content on this swing, which is located on the cutest front porch ever!

And I always love to get a shot like this one, I think it puts it all in perspective (from here on out, it’s all about the baby!) 

Then, we decided to get a few shots of mommy-to-be, *j*, alone.  I love the simple white gown, I think it makes these images so timeless…

This one is a personal favorite, I love everything about it:

Another beautiful shot of *j*, this time outside (she was such a trooper, it was cold that morning!):

And finally, one more shot of the parents-to-be.  Pretty soon this party of two, will be a party of three!

I am so looking forward to meeting baby *c* in a few weeks, at the newborn session 

Until next time,

Loved this sweet (and adorable!) couple who came to the studio for a maternity session from Henderson.  I think they were both a little nervous when they arrived, but I just kept talking and eventually, I had them relaxed and laughing.  Hopefully, they were laughing with me, and not *at* me, ha! 

We started out in the studio and of course, it’s all about the tummy:

Next, we ended up shooting outside, near the studio.  It was right before a little storm came through, so we had yummy, soft light:

a little black and white <happy sigh>:

and since we were rained out, we headed back to the studio for this:

I’m so looking forward to the newborn session, thanks you guys!

Lucky me, one of my favorites, a maternity session!  This time, with an adorable couple from Longview who is expecting a little girl (baby *b*).  Even though it was threatening rain at any given moment, we decided to leave the studio and try a little shooting in nearby downtown.  And I have to say, I was so happy that we did!  I loved what we ended up with, and I hope you do too…

Love, love, love (did I mention love?) this next one:

So, even though I have a bunch of other favorites from downtown,  I wanted to show off some of the studio stuff too… aren’t they a gorgeous couple?

Next a couple of *T* by herself … I wonder if baby *b* is going to be a redhead like her Mommy?

Another favorite, I love how clean and simple it is:

Thanks to *t* and *b* for coming to Tyler for me to photograph this special time in your lives.  I can’t wait to meet baby girl *b*.  Gallery coming in a few days, hang tight!

Until next time,

Had a great session at the studio a few days ago and I’ve been just dying to blog some of the images (you’ll see why soon!).

*B* came in for a maternity session, and if you notice the subject line, the subject line says, “last minute”… why last minute?  That would be because *B* has a due date that is just a couple of days from today (and yes, she was just at the studio on Wednesday!).  Her super sweet Mom booked the session for her last week and we were both hoping she wouldn’t go into labor before the session, she was that close!  I think when *B* sees the images, she’ll truly be glad she decided to do the session.

Pregnancy has it’s challenges, and from experience, I know it can be exhausting (!).  But, it’s such a special time between Mom and baby, a time you will look back on with a heart full of emotion.  And though it doesn’t seem like it, in the big scheme of things, it goes by so quickly.  That is the absolute fact of why I am a huge fan of maternity sessions… it’s about capturing the moment before it is gone.

and check out the new wall behind *B* at the studio, I’m loving it!

These next two… oh my, I so *heart* them… <happy sigh>

And while most of my favorites featured a more serious look, *B* has a gorgeous smile, so I have to show it off here:

I can’t wait to meet the little one in a couple of weeks (newborn session!), best wishes *B* for a speedy delivery!

Until next time,
