I’m giddy with excitment to be featured on the On to Baby blog. On to Baby, created by the lovely ladies behind The Wedding Chicks, is full of eye candy for all things baby and maternity. It’s an honor to be a part of their story.
You can find more from Melissa and Ron’s session here.

Melissa and her husband have a magnificently moving story. She’s a hardworking doctor. He’s a local fireman. Together, they radiate love like crazy.
I was so excited to get a call from Melissa about her maternity photos. Not only did she sound truly sweet and charming, she started off by asking me if it would be ok to include her chickens in her photo shoot. I wouldn’t be lying if I told you that there was some fist pumping going on in the background. Chickens! Maternity photos! To me, that equals a recipe for some amazing photos. Now, imagine my surprise and delight when I showed up to find out that not only were there chickens, but Melissa and her husband had goats. And sheep! And more than a few vintage cars! I was a photographer in heaven. And all I could think of during my time with them was how lucky their little boy is going to be. Imagine growing up with that many animals! And how cool are you when you’re a 13 year old boy and your dad picks you up from school in his classic Cadillac?
Thank you Melissa for such a wonderful session. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you! And I can’t wait to meet you little guy!





Hello gorgeous! Melissa, you make a STUNNING pregnant woman.

See! Chickens!

This little girl is a pretty lucky baby. Her parents are funny, really funny. The love they have for each other and for her already is indescribable. And they may not be a baby out there whose parents are more excited to me her.
Kori and Brian met at a party in college and from the details I’ve heard, they knew almost immediately that they were meant for each other. And really, I’m not sure I’ve met a couple more perfect for each other. From the jokes they told to the stories one would start and the other would finish, they just had a way about them. They were game for anything and everything I asked them to do, and never complained when I stuck them waist deep in wet grass. (I love it when clients trust me!) We dodged rain, dark clouds and freezing wind, but I am so excited about what we got. And Kori, you are simply stunning. You make a gorgeous pregnant lady!
Thank you Kori and Brien for being game for anything and everything. I had a blast in our makeshift flower patch.

As I come up on my child’s first birthday, I’m starting to reminisce fondly on my pregnancy. I really, really enjoyed being pregnant, feeling the kicks, bonding with the little life inside me, and just relishing in the fact that for that little while, I was all he had. I’m not quite ready to start thinking about more children for myself, but I’ve noticed that I’m really enjoying my recent maternity sessions. I find a pregnant woman to be incredibly beautiful, lush, and fascinating.
Rachel’s session was doubly fun because her daughter S was one vivacious and happy little girl. She was meant to be in front of a camera! We had a ball rearranging her living room to create an in home studio, jumping on the bed, and even basking in bubble baths, all for the sake of some gorgeous lifestyle images. Thank you Rachel, for letting me into your home and allowing me to get to know your beautiful family.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I have wonderful friends and terrific clients. Jenni and I have been friends for a long time and I’m so excited to share her maternity pictures. Plus, she let me try something that may not have normally been her style. (Because she’s an awesome person!)
Jenni and Justin are having their first baby in the fall and were nice enough to let me lead them through snake infested fields. (No joke!) They believed me when I told them that ‘it would be totally cool if you laid on the ground in your nice skirt”. And they didn’t even bat an eyelash when I mentioned laying across the table touching a porta-potty. Troopers I tell ya!
Thank you J&J for believing me! I can’t wait to meet baby girl T.

Dawn gets so much credit in my book for letting ANYONE take her picture at 39 weeks. I personally was a big swollen mess that lived in yoga pants and sneakers at that stage in my pregnancy and I might have broken any camera that tried to record that.
But Dawn was radiant. And she and Devin seemed so genuinely excited to meet their little girl any day now. Since Dawn is now officially overdue, I thought seeing a few of her gorgeous maternity pictures may help!

Hurry up baby P!
