More Expecting Beauty

I am sorry it has been forever.... trust me when I tell you I have plenty to post but it has been non stop and I am loving it. I love the fall and capturing all these beautiful moments. Here are a few more favs of Desiree maternity session. She was awesome to let me know try just about anything. I love the art of capture any moment but this is truly a special moment to document.

Baby Bump Fun!

Fun maternity session with a dear friend expecting baby #2! Horray for mommy's who are so brave enough to carry another baby around in their swollen belly's for 9 months after they already know what it is allllll about. I am not sure if I'll ever be that brave again. haha! Though truly I have nothing to complain about because I had a perfect pregnancy. I just figured why jinx it! Yada yada! Here are a few images from our fun and color session. Gorgeous inside and out she was happy to do whatever I wanted. Yay! Now I just hope she doesn't kill me for posting the last fun image but I thought what glowing pregnancy momma doesn't love ice cream! Delicious!

Beautiful Baby Bump

Ending her second trimester I took a few images of my friend, Tracy. She has been kind enough to let me document her progress through each trimester. I am looking forward to our last session before her beautiful baby boy arrives. Can't wait! Can't wait!

In the beginning!

My friend, Tracy, is expecting her second baby and she is eager to have another baby girl. I know I wouldn't mind. of, course I love all my babies but you can't dress up little boys in pretty accessories like flowers, bows, and tutu's. And I don't have to mention how much fun that is. hehehe!!!!

Well, it's just the beginning, just finishing her first trimester, and I am looking forward to documenting the moment. See even if I ever did get pregnant again it's hard as a photographer to take your own pictures let alone forget to get them done because your so busy capturing everyone else's moments. So look for more of this beautiful woman in the months to come. Thanks Tracy!

Mommy and Two 1/2

Another beautiful mommy and her kidos with one on the way. Yeah! I am swamped with many mommies so stay tuned for more. Here is a sneak peek of Neva's fun mini session photographed right downtown Clermont. This is not only a convenient location, it being in the neighborhood, but it is also a unique place that I always try to recreate every time I photograph there. Oh, and the mini historical town keeps growing. Yeah! You'll notice the big white house in the previous post is all new. Love it! Thanks so much Neva for letting me do the honors of capturing your family. Can't wait to meet the newest member.

Expecting Baby #3

Expecting her third ... I wrapped up the mommy and me session with an ultra mini session of maternity portraits at the old historical house and then down by the lake. I've envisioned these images for a long time now and was so excited to finally have the perfect subject to take them. Yeah! Loving the turn out hope you do too.

Baby on the Way

Had to post my favorites in a hurry from this weekends maternity session because it was so beautiful. I love love looooooovvvved the location and the beautiful couple who are my step brother and sister in law. They will be new parents expecting a baby boy in a few weeks. I remember all to well the excitement of new parenting and how perfect everything has to be. I am looking forward to meeting their little man when he arrives.

So I mentioned I loved the location. The live in Saxapahaw, NC, and right next to an old river mill. The backdrops were endless and I so wanted to take a million more pictures but as I've mentioned before it is so darn cold here. Thanks Jennifer and Harley for being so tough during the chilly temperatures. Here is a sneak peek.

One of my absolute favorites.

Maternity Beach Fun

After the traditional beach session Brenda let me have some fun on the lonely beach shop streets. I haven't ever done this before and I so want to go back. Thanks for being a super model for me Bren. Here are some of the fun results.

Beach Baby Reid on the Way

Amongst the craziness.... editing, taking pictures, delivering order, answering emails, scheduling appt, hanging out with my daughter, eating and keeping the house tidy...... Tada! I've finished editing the images from last weeks trip to Carolina Beach, NC to photograph a long time friend of mine. She is expecting her second baby (another little boy) and has wanted a maternity session on the beach for as long as she can remember so she prepared early. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worst. It was so chilly and rainy but you'd never know it from the turn out. She was an awesome performer on the first day because it was chilly and on the second day it actually stopped raining for an hour. Yahoo! Well, here is the first of a two party blog entry. I knew I'd have so many favorites. Thanks Bren and Mike for everything.
