A few days ago, I spent a perfect Spring morning with the S family: Mama N, Daddy C, and Mr. C–and of course, Mr. N chilling out in Mama’s belly. We had a great time in a gorgeous setting and were able to capture about a bazillion pictures. Here are just a few of my favorites from the session:

How beautiful is this mama? She was so comfortable with herself and I think it shows in the pictures. (And she was willing to go out on a floating dock for me, so yay!)

Mr. C liked exploring a little more than posing, I think. But that meant pictures like this, so it was all good.

These guys were so in love. It made me feel all gooey inside.

That beautiful thing again…

In processing this picture, I was tickled to see this little seed pod floating by. Make a wish, Baby N!

I couldn’t resist adding a little texture to this picture…Mama N just looks so happy and…expectant.

One of my favorite favorites of the session. It’s like a fairy tale, and totally in keeping with my style.

This is another that showcases my style. The bare pregnant belly is a subject of much debate: should a photographer edit out the stretchmarks and lines? To me, those marks and lines are beautiful–they show the capacity of the female form to change as needed. And while I’ll edit them out if a client prefers, I’m so happy to show off this lovely belly here!
Thanks again, S family, for an awesome session! Hope to see you again soon…
