…from this session. I’m having a lot of fun with the post-processing on these, can you tell? I think you can take certain liberties with sessions like this. It’s nice to do something different every now and then.
It was a very elegant maternity session this weekend, although this first one is a bit whimsical. This mom-to-be (again) is just positively glowing and I can’t wait to meet the newest addition to the family. Here are just a few peeks (most of the images are more personal).
Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE maternity sessions? Especially urban maternity. There’s just something so exciting and a little bit daring about a beautifully pregnant mom-to-be glowing amidst an urban background. When I called them today to let them know I had arrived downtown and she said, “We’re in a yellow vette,” I knew I would be in trouble. 
People after my own heart. SOOOO many fav’s from this session!
I have to admit I was a little nervous meeting up in this small Texas town, but wow! I couldn’t believe how many great little spots there were all in one little place. Well, the fun, relaxed, and ADORABLE couple with baby boy on the way sure didn’t hurt either.
Love.
So, a train came by when we were there. I had to try my hand at some motion blur. So fun!
Thanks you two (three?) for such a great, no fuss session. You all look great and I can’t wait to introduce baby C on the blog next month!
Oh…one more thing…check out my new PINK biz cards. I absolutely LOVE them:
Thank you to everyone for your caring and supportive e-mails. Everything has turned out fine for the babe as far as we know, so we’re just going to plug forward. I’ve also been getting lots of requests for belly pics so these headless wonders will have to do. I just bought my first bikini since college, folks. I figure it’s okay to have a pot belly if you’re pregnant, right? (The hubs took the first picture, btw…it was quite funny directing him. He kept griping about how heavy my camera was. Tsk, tsk, tsk.)
It couldn’t have been a more BEAUTIFUL day in Austin even if we tried. And then when you take this perfectly little baby belly and add in a beautiful little family, my goodness, what a treat!
Isn’t he the cutest little thing ever???!! Oh, I can’t wait to meet his baby brother or sister!
A, you’re beautiful and your family just glows with happiness. I look forward to seeing how it grows over the year!
We’ve got a cupcake in the oven!
Yes, it’s true. We will become a family of 5 (oh, wow, I can barely fathom) in late Nov/early Dec. It was quite a shock to us as we were perfectly content with our 2 little boys, but I think it’s a cool surprise…especially for someone like me who is a Type A planner. So, life is going to be a little different, but we are very excited. I’m especially excited to have a new subject who won’t be able to run from my camera for at least a year ;-).
The morning sickness has knocked me for a loop this time around and I’m hoping for a reprieve sometime soon. I figured finally coming clean would help me feel a little better about this crazy roller coaster. My sincerest apologies for being a bit slower than usual in my e-mails and return phone calls to everyone. Hopefully, I’ll turn the corner soon and get that burst of energy everyone promises in the 2nd trimester. I will say that with a due date right at the peak of the holiday season, I’m definitely going to have to work something else out for fall/holiday sessions, so stay tuned until I figure out exactly what that will be ;-). I can’t imagine rolling around on the ground like I like to do at 7-8 mos. pregnant. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?????
On that note, I *am* in the market for a birth photographer (another planned homebirth) so if you’re an Austin photographer who’d like to spend a fun-filled day with us sometime in Dec, please give me a call. I’d love to talk to you.
So, there you have it. Thanks so much to all of my clients who’ve been oh-so-patient with me as I’ve fumbled my way through the morning sickness. Oh, and thanks to my son’s pre-school teacher for the neat-o cupcake featured in the picture. Would you believe it’s NOT real? It’s soap/bath fizz????!!!!!! She gifted several of these to me and I’ve been dying for a chance to blog them. Thank you so much, sweetie!
Okay, I’m off to bed now. (What else is new?). Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
JLo ain’t got nothin’ on this beautiful mama to be! Isn’t she positively glowing????
A little experiment. She was such a trooper. Thanks so much, D!
So glad they asked me for this one!
Look out for the newborn pics next month. (I can’t wait!) Babies, babies everywhere!
I got to spend a little time with this ADORABLE couple yesterday doing maternity photographs in downtown Houston. These two were so willing to try anything…
…even jumping into a water fountain in the middle of the city!
Thanks so much, you two! I can’t wait to meet baby girl in just a few weeks!
