Maternity and Newborn Photography

Becky and Max have called me for maternity and newborn photos for both of their gorgeous children. I met Becky through one of my sisters, and she has been a favorite of mine to photograph over the years. Becky has a lightness in her spirit. She laughs so much. It is so good for the soul to be around folks like her. Max is hilarious. Like, really, really funny. His sharp wit and love for his wife make him a really awesome guy. After they had their first son they really settled into parenthood. Their home is forever full of toys, warmth, and Becky’s growing plant collection.

Having the same photographer shoot your maternity and newborn session is part of the fun. I get a chance to really bond with you over your belly and even more over your baby. We talk about motherhood and how hard times can be. We celebrate the successes of breastfeeding, commiserate over bottle-fed babies that refuse to take a bottle, and cry over how beautifully stressful and simple and complicated and chaotic life is with a newborn.

This family is such a good example of how much my heart can grow. Every session we have together is another opportunity for us to connect. At the end of the day it is really about connection and family. Photographing families as they start their journeys together, be it marriage or maternity, reminds me how lucky I am to be here on this earth. These sessions remind me of how lucky I am to do what I do.

Congrats to this family on their new addition (a perfect baby girl) and their growing family! I wish you all the best in your new family of four! Thank you so much for all of the sessions, you know I love watching these babies grow up!
