Newborn and maternity photography gives you the privilege of sharing in some of the most special moments of a family’s life. Pregnancy is such a time of anticipation. You’re  wondering who this new little person is and  looking forward to meeting him or her. It’s always a pleasure for me to do both the newborn and maternity photography sessions. Meeting a family before the baby arrives gives us a chance to get to know each other. Having worked together seems to make the newborn session go more smoothly. Let’s face it- those sleepless nights and rounds of feeding and diaper changing can take a toll on you. If you’re able to sit back and relax, and know the process already, it helps! It’s like visiting old friends by then, and I’m looking forward to meeting the new little one I ‘photographed’ during the maternity session. I enjoyed spending time in the home of this beautiful mama-to-be. Meeting big sister to be Sophia was the icing on the cake. She’s so smart, talkative and sweet. She wanted to help me in any way she could. I could see she was going to be a great big sister!

and now, always the best part of the newborn and maternity photography sessions- meeting the newest member of the family!

isn’t he beautiful? And Sophia is a wonderful big sister. She’s concerned when he cries and sings and talks to him- so sweet!
