Chelsey | Maternity

I absolutely loved working with Chelsey Justin and during their maternity session. One of the special things about these photos is the location - Chelsey asked if I could travel to their property for the session. This is the same property they were married on a year ago. I can’t believe their sweet baby will be here in just a couple short weeks. And guess who will be documenting his arrival?! I can’t wait!

Amber | Maternity

I had the hardest time choosing which images to share from Amber’s maternity session. I may be biased, but I just loved SO many of them. Aunt Heather is SO excited to meet you Charlie!

Baby L | Birth

It is always an honor to be welcomed into a birth space. I do not take that invitation lightly. And to be asked back in again, it honestly brings on all the feels. I photographed the birth of this couple’s first daughter almost 2 years ago. I posted a birth calendar update and not long after I received a panicked text saying she was almost in tears. My response “Tell me you’re pregnant?! :)” She then proceeded to tell me that she saw I was booked for the month of her due date. Turns out, she was due THE DAY before my sister’s wedding (which I was MOH for) We made a deal that she wouldn't have her baby that day and thank goodness baby girl listened!

The next morning, October 12th, we kept chatting back and fourth. Things weren’t progressing as quickly as she was hoping so she said to hold off on heading to the hospital. 4 mins after that text, “Definitely come! 7 cm 100% effaced” Precisely 1 min after that I was in my car and “On my way!” I’ve reached the half way point of my drive and ding oh who am I kidding.. my birth client’s text tone is more like EHH! EHH! EHH!!

“Speed!!!!!”

Yup. Five exclamation marks.

I remained calm and continued to drive the speed limit.. * wink wink * I call Crouse and explain the situation, asking to use their valet parking. To which they graciously obliged. At the stop light I whip out my camera and put on my lense. Once I got there they even had an elevator held for me. I race up to the 7th floor and am honestly just hoping I don’t hear a baby crying once I get to her room. I walk in and thankfully, mama is still pregnant!

About a half hour later, “It’s a girl!” <3

I am so thankful that I was able to be there for this birth. And while Dad says 2 is the magic number, I’ll be over here hopping for baby #3. ;)

Mackenzie | Maternity

Since I realized I hadn’t shared any of these images yet.. It made me remember my blog (which I have clearly been neglecting) ! SO, here is me making up for my lack of sharing, by giving you a whole lot more from this session then I would have on Facebook!

Nicole | Maternity

There was so much to love about this session. It was full of love and laughter, excitement and remembrance. I cannot wait to be there to document the arrival of their sweet little rainbow baby next month.

Marlysa | Maternity

My last entry was February 15th 2017. I intended to blog every Maternity, Birth and Newborn Session that I did in 2017. I am extending myself a little grace and promising to play catch up on the many sessions that I have missed.

But! I am so thankful for this awesome couple and this gorgeous maternity session for getting me back on track. I had a great time working with these two and can't wait to see them again in a few weeks!

CNY Maternity Photography | Amanda

I realized that I completely fell off the blogging band wagon for awhile there. But! With this gorgeous couple being my very first session of 2017, I knew I had to get back on track. I can not wait to meet their little girl in just a few weeks! (And figure out what they decided to name her.. :) )
