Maybe this is a bit premature, but we’re really excited because we just got word a little while ago that Jasmine has gone into labor. She’s pretty tired right now, and the doctor has told her to get some rest for a couple of hours before checking on her progress again in a little while.
Jenni has her camera packed and is about to head out with Jasmine for a visit to the doctor soon.
WE CAN’T WAIT!! 
More news as it happens . . .
For everyone waiting for updates on our most recent weddings (especially for Kristina & Cory as well as Jacquelyn & Thomas), we’ll post those for you as soon as we’re able. Thanks for your patience.
We had such a good time photographing Vivian and Anna’s maternity sessions! And it’s the first time we’ve photographed two sisters for their maternity sessions. Both of them extremely beautiful, we loved the way their individual personalities played out during the photo shoot. So we wanted to share a few more images from their incredibly fun day of shooting.
Just click the PLAY button in the box below to begin the brief slideshow.
I honestly didn’t know where to begin choosing - we loved so many of their photos. But there will be LOTS more beauty and fun to be enjoyed in their complete galleries, available soon in the “Client Proofs” area of our main website.
We couldn’t believe it when we heard that Anna was pregnant at the same time as her sister, Vivian! She’s only about a month behind Vivian. So when we made plans for Vivian & John’s maternity session, we knew we had to have a maternity session for Anna & Jonathan, as well. This was going to be an incredible day of shooting!
Anna met us at Vivian & John’s home, and she brought along with her a few really cute changes of clothing so we’d have some fun and variety with the session. Not that it was needed - she and Jonathan are a complete blast together and made the shooting so much fun. They kept changing it up for us and were completely uninhibited in front of the camera.
Anna & Jonathan, we captured so many different looks for you, and I think you’re going to be completely blown away by how gorgeous you look. It was a complete joy to photograph the two of you again. I’ll be placing up another teaser to show a random selection of images from the entire day of shooting. Look for it soon!
Anna & Jonathan’s entire gallery will be available shortly in the “Client Proofs” area of our main website. Stay tuned!

I can’t tell you how excited we were about getting together with Vivian & John again. Their wedding was among our most memorable from a couple years ago, and we were so happy when they asked about our photographing Vivian’s maternity session. John and Vivian were both there to greet us with warm hugs. Even their Labradors were enthused to see us!
Their lovely home served as the backdrop for all of our shooting. We could hardly believe Vivian has only another month to go before delivering their baby boy. She’s in great shape and feeling well, with the same beauty and grace that we loved about her from the time we first met them.
Vivian & John, we are so incredibly thankful to know you, and we share in the joy of your growing family. You both did a wonderful job. It felt just like old times photographing you again. I wanted to put up a quick teaser photo for you while I work on the rest of your gallery images. I’ll have a few more images from the day posted on the blog soon, so keep your browsers pointed here! The complete gallery will be available soon in the “Client Proofs” area of our main website. We can’t wait to show you!

Nicole and Ralph can’t wait to see their little baby girl. We first met Nicole as a bridesmaid in Cory & Joe’s wedding. We didn’t even realize at the time she was nearly six months pregnant until she’d told us. She looked fantastic then, and she was positively glowing when we arrived to meet her and Ralph for the maternity photo shoot. I think we were all excited to see one another again.
Both Nicole and Ralph did just wonderfully. The session was fun and easy-going, and the temperatures were just perfect for this outdoor session. The shoot consisted of some shooting for the family, some romantic portraits for Nicole and Ralph, and even a number of “glamour” photos to show off just how beautiful Nicole looks now in her eighth month of pregnancy. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to show off their complete gallery. We also can’t wait to meet their newborn little girl. Isn’t she going to feel special, knowing her first photo shoot was planned before she was even born? 
Look for the online gallery very soon in the “Client Proofs” area of our main website. And since we always love hearing from everyone, please leave a comment for us by clicking the “Comments” icon immediately below.

Jesyca and Bill are truly a special couple to us. Long-time readers of our blog might easily remember this most vivacious of couples from our sessions past:
So, we were thrilled when they asked us to photograph Jesyca’s maternity session. We wanted to provide for them the same sort of unique and enjoyable experience they had during their previous sessions with us. Jesyca was ready with a few different changes of outfit, hair and makeup beautifully done, and ready for whatever we asked. Bill was ready, too, with plenty of behind-the-scenes humor to keep us all laughing. It wasn’t long before we had him join in with the photo shoot. We can’t wait to join them again for baby photos in a few short weeks.
Their online gallery is coming soon. Look for it in the “Client Proofs” section of our main site.
Thanks for letting us have such a fun time again, Jes & Bill!

It was so enjoyable to be reunited with Stephanie & Brian once again. Just look at all the fun we’ve had with them!
So there was no doubt that the maternity session would be just as pleasurable. The light filtering in through the windows of their baby’s room provided much of the inspiration for the shoot. After shooting a few sets, we also got to meet and play with their three-year-old boxer, Max, who was a bundle of energy that simply begged to be photographed, too.
Thanks so much, Stephanie & Brian, for being such a beautiful couple. It’s a joy to see your growing family. We can’t wait to meet Madison when she arrives!
Their online maternity session will be available very soon in the “Client Proofs” section of our main site.

A referral from a previous bride brought us together with Sonyalis and Jim, who are expecting their second baby to arrive any day now! We had a wonderful time at their home. The living room was warm and comfortable, and the large windows allowed a lot of sunlight to poor in. They and their 3-1/2 year old son were adorable. We enjoyed a few traditionial family portraits, and they also allowed us to try a few untraditional and totally joyous things for a memorable maternity session. Sonyalis didn’t want to regret not taking the opportunity to capture herself and her unborn baby in pictures at this most precious time. We were so happy that they found us. Congratulations, guys!
Their full gallery of photos will be made available today. Go to our main website, open the menu, and click on “Client Proofs” for Sonyalis’ Maternity Session. Feel free to leave your own comments here on the blog, as we love hearing from you! Enjoy!
We got some fantastic family news a couple of months ago: My brother, Eric, and his wife, Chrissy, are expecting their second child! We can’t tell you how exciting this was to hear. Their first son, Malakai (nicknamed Kai), is full of energy, and he loves people just the same as his parents. At three years old, he’s got some serious personality. Eric and Chrissy wouldn’t want it any other way.
When we visited them at their Massachusetts home, Chrissy asked if we could spend some time on the beach to get some shots of their family, as well as a maternity shoot. We absolutely could NOT resist this opportunity. And what a spectacular day it was! We met them at the beautiful Good Harbor Beach in MA after having first spent some time with two INCREDIBLE couples for their engagement sessions (see our entries for Lauren and Justin, and for Meghan and Lou). So you can probably appreciate how pumped we were for this sunset session. With an intensely blue sky and calm ocean waters, we couldn’t have asked for better conditions. Quite simply, all we needed was one word to describe Chrissy when we saw her there on the beach: Radiant! And she was in love with her family.
We changed things up during our time there, taking pictures of little Kai by himself when he wasn’t watching, photographing the entire family when the scene seemed right, and we also spent some time with the couple by themselves for an occasional romantic interlude while Kai was busy digging holes in the sand. It was a real treat for each of us. There’s nothing quite like the beauty and closeness of a family waiting for their child to arrive. We captured some beautiful images.
