Brenda & Devin Maternity Shoot...




Brenda & Devin,  May 27th, 2010 


                                 I just want to start off by saying thank you guys for letting me capture such a special time in your guys' life. I am honored to have been able to capture a small glimpse of your journey that you have been through for 9 months that is about to bring you joy for a lifetime. I can't wait to take her newborn pictures. & again thanks for being so patient. Taelynn is blessed with such sweet  & loving parents.
This first picture is probably my most favorite, I love capturing the true feelings & natural looks the most. That is when the (client) feels the most comfortable & can just be themselves. Don't get me wrong I also really like to take the posed pictures too! they look great as well, but the reason why i love doing what I do is when you can feel the love & the laughter between the couple or a family & capture it for a lifetime! It's amazing!

So sweet, 


I am loving the big wood frame prop, It fits perfectly around the heart shaped hands over the belly. 























Dreaming about what their precious baby girl is going to look like & how life is going to be so different. Earlier this yr I went to an estate sale and found an old beat up love seat that I completely refinished. When I hosted Brenda's baby shower she had told me that she was really into purple, & that she wanted the babies room & the whole works to be in that color. So when I finished with the sanding part of the love seat I made it so the cushions were interchangeable & did the cushions in a deep satin purple. Brenda loved it & it turned out fantastic! I Love not just taking pictures, I love being creative & putting all the small details together to make it look great.

Brenda did such an awesome job, doing all the poses & all of my crazy madness ideas. But in the end they all seemed to turn out pretty beautiful! You guys are a beautiful!
They were such a great couple to shoot! So Relaxed & just excited. Of Course Brenda was uncomfortable, but that was to be expected. she was about to have a baby. So to me She looked amazing & did so awesome for this shoot!

When we did this shoot Brenda was just planning on going in for a regular induction for June 9th, 2010, So this was just another cute idea. Well little did we know that due to some complications she ended up really having to have a c-section. So in the end mom & baby are perfectly healthy & happy and as beautiful as can be! Stay posted for the newborn session pics to come in the near future. 

I love feedback so any type of comments or suggestions are welcome.
