Anticipation

I love the feeling that comes with a first baby. Everything is new. There are so many emotions that continue to roll through as the arrival of that tiny little life approaches. These sessions take me back to that place where my husband and I waited with so much anticipation on the birth of our first. Moments and memories like these are what makes life so special.........

Waiting.

Waiting on baby............

A winter storm rolled in out of the blue during this session. I guess mother nature thought we could use some snowflakes. We braved the elements and I am so glad we did. Otherwise I may not have gotten what has become one of my most favorite images ever. Just a sweet little boy lovin on his mommy and brother to be..... priceless! 

On Barns and Bellys

Two things I love. Baby bumps and Big Red Barns. The combination of the two makes things all that much sweeter. :) I have been scouring Central New York this summer with a LONG list of wants in some new locations. I have nearly almost double my list with just a few more places to check out. My agenda was to find more, very unique locations that would make for some gorgeous backdrops that my clients would love. To my ever growing delight and surprise, I happened to stumble across this barn exhibit while checking out another location that was close by. I believe it was fate. If you only knew how long I have been wanting to find just such a location you would absolutely agree!!!

When getting to know this beautiful mamma to be prior to her shoot, she mentioned she was a country girl at heart, and had grown up on a farm. I couldn't think of a better place to suggest for them, and the ironic thing about all this is that her session had to be rescheduled. If her session hadn't been rescheduled, I wouldn't have found this place before her shoot. Like I said, FATE. :)

Baby Love

I love maternity sessions. I love the excitement and the anticipation that comes with bringing a new little baby into this world. There is nothing else like it! Another thing I love.....the sonogram pictures. Some people think they are no big deal. Not me. They are images of a tiny little precious creation, given by God, and there is no greater gift than that and the gift of life. I will always find ways to incorporate these little pictures into my sessions, so hopefully they don't start to bore you. I guess I will just have to make my creative gene work a little harder when it comes to using them! :)

Congratulations to this beautiful happy couple. I can't wait to meet your sweet little baby. :)
