Tacoma Newborn Photographer | Erin & Brandon + a Baby Bump!

hildog — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:27:15 +0000

Erin and Brandon are so sweet and I couldnt be happier for them having a baby. I met up with them a few weeks ago and Erin was 36 weeks. She’s now more pregnant than I was when I had little Jack. They got pregnant only two weeks after I shot their wedding in October! So if you follow the blog a lot you might recognize them. Little Sophia is expected to make her entrance into the world at the beginning of August. Though they think it would be funny if she actually went into labor tomorrow exactly 9 months since they were wed. We met up at The Leaning Tree for their session. Their wedding reception was held there but we did all of the formals at the ceremony site so I thought it may be nice to do some photos there. It was a beautiful but hot day. Erin was a trooper in the heat.. well actually we were all troopers even Jack tagged along on this one ;)Yay you two! I cant wait to hear the news of Sophia’s birth!

Last week I got an email from Amanda. She was in town for a few days and decided she wanted maternity photos. I was thrilled. I had been wanting to go out and have a session with someone for a while. She was also game for whatever. We decided to do it on a day that is was supposed to snow. I think everyone BUT the Triangle got a few inches of snow. Which is sad because I was really looking forward to a snowy session! The weather sure was cold out. She was a trooper for a Florida girl :)

She has ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS eyes!

She was a bit nervous and sad about not having her husband there for the photos. He is deployed with my husband and will be back soon. I’m hoping he gets to make it home before their baby boy is born. I sure am excited to meet that little bundle of cute.

Megan’s sweet baby bump!

Last week my friend drove up here from Georgia to have her photos taken! She is going to have her first baby and he is a boy! I was super stoked when she asked me about her maternity and newborn shots. Megan is so cute how could I N O T want to have fun sessions with her! I hadnt actually got to see her since she’s been pregnant. She’s SOOOOO CUTE! Her husband Charlie and his son Xander also joined us :)

So at this point in time I had Charlie pose Megan .. and he came up with this .. pose. I think ill try this with all my baby mamas!Then Xander got his camera time. Its not that often I get to have sessions with older kiddos. So it was definitely a learning experiance. Xander also does not like to look at the camera. It was uncanny how he could look everywhere else but at me. Ive never had that happen and when he would smile he would move his face down. So he definitely cut my work out for me. In the end I think I did get a few good shots where he was actually looking at me :)He has super awesome eyes! These are barely edited.Im sure he was trying to give me some terrible faces at this point but I absolutely love this one. He just looks happy. :)

They are naming him Jack Danger! What an awesome name!I am so excited to meet your little one in February!!!

Kaitlin + Thomas + a baby! | Wake Forest Maternity Photography

Kaitlin is a photographer so when she asked me to take her photos I was quite excited and nervous as the occasion doesn’t happen that often in front of the camera or behind and I know that. Also being pregnant myself, I like talking about babies and pregnancy and just being around mommas in general. I was excited to see her belly and see how much it had grown since I met up with her in August. Kaitlin had a few ideas she threw out and I was excited. She waited so long to take her photos because she still didnt feel as if she was big enough for them yet but she was due in a week. I just said SHE a lot, goodness! We decided on a sunrise session in a field she just had to find one since im not too too close to Wake Forest. Well she did and it looked AWESOME on the frigid morning we chose. Seriously it was like 34 degrees out and Kaitlin is in a lace jacket with no socks! I wish Id had them take a photo of me as I was toasty- puffer jacket, gloves, hat and boots. Oh well it was worth it! It looked so magical and gorgeous.

Thomas is quite a bit taller than Kaitlin

Oh Kaitlin, youre so very pretty. Im jealous of your babies eyes.

I will be quite excited to meet your little one should he or she ever make an appearance! Thanks for this awesome session, you two are awesome!

Nikki | Maternity with a Sensual Side

I was super excited when a friend of mine found out she was pregnant. I know she would be up for a lot photographically. I had a few plans but since I had been so busy my ideas went out the window. I told her to bring some ideas and boy did she. I think she changed clothes 10 times. She’s awesome and due soon with a little girl. Anyway these were my favorites out of her favorites :)

Nikki, Thank you so much for being my model for me. You look absolutely gorgeous! I cannot wait until I can meet little Shelby!
