Maternity | 2014

mr. & mrs. B + belly

simple. true.  real.  i learned a lot from this shoot.  fancy coordinated and finely ironed clothes don't make the photo.  professional landscaped backgrounds don't make the picture.  a clean shaven man and glamorized girl don't make the picture.  what is simple.  what is true.  what is real. that is what makes a picture.  these two are no strangers to my lens, see their sweet wedding session here .  i thought i was prepared to preserve this season in their lives...but that overcast day, in their front yard, during a break from home improvements for the new bundle arriving just weeks away, i was taken by surprise.  thank you f & j for being you and letting me into your world.  mrs. b you shine, i mean really shine when mr. b is being goofy. most wives would have been annoyed with their husband being silly during a maternity photo shot, but it was so obviously clear to me that you were meant for eachother. she shines, really shines when he is being goofy.  and trust me he was being goofy. i feel like i was blessed with seeing and capturing you two and your love in its purest form. looking forward to snapping some pix of that handsome baby outside your belly.

below is a custom announcement i designed to announce the birth of their little man.

We split this shoot into two sessions, one outdoors on location with expecting mom & dad (big brother was asleep in the stroller) and then for the 2nd half I hung out at their house and captured mom and big brother in some tender moments of preparation for little sister's arrival.
