*its been 84 years*
No really, I have dropped off the planet and completely ghosted you all!
I've been taking an AMAZING business course, redoing my website, photographing allllll the weddings/sessions and of course doing all the mom things too!
But I interrupt my silence with this stunning family, awaiting their baby boy! ๐ฅน
Maternity sessions are my favorite of all, especially when the family joins. These sessions with me are less about everyone looking at the camera and more about everyone forgetting it's there. I shoot child-led, which is really just code for: we wander, we play, we let kiddos be kiddos โ and the very best photos always sneak in around the edges.
There's something so powerful about the season right before โ creating a whole entire person, sitting in the quiet of the morning before the house is awake with soft tiny kicks keeping you company.
Maternity sessions are my chance to slow that holy in-between way down, to honor the soft glow of you in this body, in this moment, surrounded by the wildflowers and golden fields of southwest Virginia with your love. I pull a lot of cues from nature here โ the curve of a hill, the bend of a willow branch, the way late light spills over everything like honey.
You are doing the most magical work โ let's make sure you remember just how beautiful it was! ๐
