Sweet Maternity {Austin Maternity Photographer}

I love maternity sessions.  I love everything they symbolize... The beauty of a baby bump, the miracle that a growing life is inside a woman's body, and the love the parents already feel for the baby even before it is born.

This maternity session was no different.  Beautiful mama-to-be, her loving husband, a sweet baby bump and lots of laughs during our session.  K is a nurse practitioner at the OBGYN offices I have my portraits hanging (in the exam rooms), so it was fun hearing some of the comments she's gotten from her patients there about the sweet images on the walls.  (And how they make waiting in the exam rooms a little more fun!)

It is a good thing we did this session when we did... as Baby E was born the very next day!  So glad that they will have beautiful maternity portraits to look back on as they cuddle their baby boy.  Congratulations, C Family!

I am loving the golden light from the setting sun!  This is why they call it "The Golden Hour!"

Maternity sessions are quickly becoming one of my all time favorites to do these days.

Perhaps because I just went through pregnancy myself... Perhaps because the idea of a perfectly forming little life inside of a beautiful woman inspires me... Perhaps because I know the immense blessing that children are.  It is such a crazy, fun, emotional, empowering, exhausting phase of life all wrapped up into 9 months, and I love when people want to capture that on camera to look back on when their babies arrive... and when their babies go to Kindergarten... and graduate from college. 

I love them.  And this maternity session definitely ranks up there with my all time favorite shoots.  We did it all... studio shots, silhouettes, and my favorite... wildflowers!  Enjoy a sneak peek of this beautiful mama-to-be (for the 3rd time!).  She is a beauty, and no doubt her baby girl will be too.

I had such a lovely time working with this sweet couple in my studio and doing their maternity session.  And they emailed me with the sweetest testimonial from our session together.  (Click here.)

What a lucky little baby boy this will be, as he is already so loved by his parents.  (Clients requested no faces be shown, but even the shots without faces turned out beautifully!!)

I love capturing the beauty of pregnancy and that growing baby bump for families to enjoy.   Enjoy a sneak peek!
