This maternity session was tons of fun. Mom was game to let me play and try some new things, and I'm always so excited when I work with clients who are open to experimenting. I love bright and airy outdoor images, but there is something so beautiful about intimate indoor maternity sessions. I absolutely love how the light just wraps around this gorgeous mama, creating something more dramatic and bold. She has the most fantastic glow.
Big brother-to-be Leo joined in on the session too. He was such a riot to play with and loved being the center of attention with his mom. He has the best hair and the cutest smile. And he is oh so sweet. I know when toddlers are going to be part of a session that anything goes and Leo was no exception. At one point he was hanging out in a basket on the floor eating gummy bears to his heart's content while I worked with his mom. I can just see him now, playing with his little brother, getting dirty together, and sharing even more gummy bears between them.These two brothers are going to have a lot of fun together.
I can't wait to share the images from the new baby brother's newborn session, but for now here are some of my favorite images from Sylvette's maternity session. Enjoy!
It's true, this soon-to-be big sister has a little brother on the way!
I had so much fun working with this gorgeous family. They are, quite simply, the best. Since mom was already close to her due date we opted to hold her maternity session indoors so we wouldn't have to worry about the weather, and I'm so happy we did! We had such an incredibly fun time together. We played, we laughed, we got cheerios stuck to our hands (well, at least I did), it was a blast. Working with toddlers is always a treat because they are so big on personality, and big sister-to-be was no exception. She was beyond charming and fun. And those big blue eyes! Guh! It's hard to get more adorable than that.
I always love working in families' homes because it makes the images so personal. Every image is a reflection of you and your life and your home with your family. We get to use your things, in your space. The way you live everyday. Plus it means we can re-visit the same spaces during your newborn session, creating a lovely "before and after" for your family. Before new baby, and after new baby. For families considering an album, it's also a beautiful way to create a cohesive album that flows beautifully from beginning to end.
I can't wait to meet the new baby boy when he makes his debut, but until then here are a few images from our session together - enjoy!
I cannot even begin to explain how excited I was to do this indoor maternity session. I am way too excited for just about every session, but this one was pretty special. Mom-to-be Nic waited a long time for this sweet baby so I was exceptionally thrilled to be able to document such an important time in her life. An extra special bonus was getting to photograph one of the older fur-kid siblings, Lilly. She was such a ham and so so sweet. She loved getting the opportunity to snuggle and be close to her mom's baby bump!
Many congratulations, Nic. I can't wait to meet your little one for his or her newborn session!
I'm so excited to share this session but, first I have to highlight my new logo! I love it. It's a brand new year and things are ramping up fast at Kate Juliet Photography, a new logo is just the start. And an awesome start at that.
Also awesome? This ah.may.zing and completely gorgeous maternity session with this mom-to-be. I met Jenny at home for her session in Fairfax (cold weather will never keep me away from a session!) and it was nothing short of magic. Mom-to-be is so stunning and lovely. She was a joy to work with and, more importantly, there is a lot of joy surrounding the anticipation of baby! It's going to be a surprise to find out if baby is a boy or girl (my vote, boy) but I cannot wait to meet the little one for his or her newborn session.
During this maternity session, Maggie, puppy and expert cuddler, joined us for a few images too. Her underbite is just about the cutest thing ever and she definitely hammed it up for the camera. First babies always like the try to steal the show, don't they?
Congratulations again! I can't wait to see you soon for your newborn session!
