Sometimes the best sessions are the ones you never planned. đ¤
Yesterday, my daughter and I stumbled across this beautiful field while we had some time to kill. We were walking around when she said, âMom, this would be such a pretty place for pictures.â I immediately agreed and immediately regretted leaving my camera at home.
A few minutes later, I watched a very pregnant mama and her partner pull up and start taking their own maternity photos. I debated saying something because⌠what kind of photographer approaches strangers and offers them a photoshoot when she doesnât even have her camera? đ
Apparently, me.
I introduced myself, showed them some of my work, explained that I specialize in maternity, newborn and family photography, and asked if theyâd be willing to let me photograph them with the only camera I had with meâŚ. my phone.
And Iâm SO glad I asked.
What started as a completely random afternoon turned into an impromptu two-outfit maternity session for Matt & Gracie, and these are some of the results. đ¤
This was also my reminder to stop leaving my camera at home because you truly never know when youâll stumble across a moment worth capturing.
Congratulations, Matt & Gracie. Thank you for trusting the random photographer who walked up to you in a field with an iPhone. đđ¤
