Did you know that my Grow With Me package includes a maternity session?  Well, you’re in luck because it does!  I know some folks aren’t always in favor of maternity pictures, but let me tell you, it’s something you can look back on and treasure.  This is such a sweet time for you and your family, and capturing the miracle of life and that gorgeous glow of an expecting mom is something I’m in love with.  All my expecting moms are always so happy they took the time to do these.  It’s really something precious.

This couple did an amazing job with their maternity session.  We did several poses to capture everything.  We did some of just this gorgeous mom by herself, then her and her husband, and then their little boy as well.  I’m so in love with the ones of mom and their little boy.  There’s just that special bond with a mom and her kids that’s breathtaking and fills my heart with joy.

I’m also kind of obsessed with her dress choice.  A long maxi photographs so beautifully, and I just love the soft color palette they went with.  Between their outfits and the location, we were able to capture some beautiful portraits for them to proudly display for years to come.

This family is so sweet, and I’m so glad they decided to book my Grow With Me package.  This includes a maternity session, newborn session, 6 months session, and a one year session.  This makes me so happy to know I’ll be able to capture each of these milestones for their baby and them as a family over the course of the year.  I can’t thank them enough for allowing me this wonderful opportunity!

Please take a look through some of my favorites from their session.  Stay tuned as their newborn session is soon approaching, and you won’t want to miss out on those!
