Crissy + Chris maternity

One of my best friends, Crissy, is adding onto her family and this time it's a girl! If you know Crissy- you know how perfect she would be as a mom to a baby girl! So I think everyone was so happy to find out she was on TEAM PINK! Big brother Chad is going to be so awesome too! The purple color scheme she picked out was so pretty and she truly rocked that dress! I wish I had looked this good in my 3rd tri! Congrats to you guys and can't wait to meet baby C in October!

Karen + Andrew's Maternity

My friend and fellow photog Karen is having a baby girl soon! The last time I saw this couple, we were doing a romantic "after session" and now she is sporting a baby bump! She came to the session with some adorable props and we had a great time. I gave her some of my best mom tips & passed along some hand-me-down baby things to her as well. Congrats to Karen and Andrew and cannot wait to meet baby girl soon!

Military themed maternity & newbie

Stephanie contacted me to do her maternity session- she was very specific with what she wanted: her husband was deployed overseas and she really wanted to use some of his military things i.e. his hat, coat, tags, etc. I love when clients have their own ideas to incorporate into their session! We ended up doing the maternity session at her house and it went very well! A couple of months later: baby D was born. How sweet is he? I absolutely adore the way the 2 sessions went and the special touches we used to honor his daddy overseas. Enjoy!

I kicked off 2013 with one of my FAV types of sessions: maternity! One of my clients from from 2009 (when she had her baby girl) called upon me again- this time having a baby boy! We did her last session at the beach and wanted to mix it up a little this time- but still have access to some water shots. We went to one of my favorite local parks and it was a great time! I loved having big sister there to do some fun shots with :) Congrats to Kari and Andrew and I hope to meet baby boy one of these days soon!

Elvira + James- maternity

My good friend Susan came to me and wanted to purchase a maternity/newbie package for her bro-in-law and sis-in law, who are expecting their 1st baby soon. What a nice thing for her to do!

We had to postpone the session twice... summers in Florida are unpredictable with the rain. The 3rd time was a charm. This session was seriously one of my favorites, ever! We met up in downtown St. Augustine, always a fav location of mine, and we just took our time walking the cobblestone roads and finding cool areas to shoot at. Look how natural they interact! It's like they don't even know the camera is on them. And I love the "props": balloons, flower in hair and his funky hat. I spent over an hour with them and I could have kept snapping. I can't wait to meet their baby girl later this summer! Enjoy this sneak peek!

Pietrick family- maternity

I photographed the Pietrick family 2 years ago for one of my holiday mini sessions- they were a lot of fun and had such warm personalities. Karla contacted me a few months ago letting me know that baby #2 was on the way! She wanted a laid-back beach session which would be a maternity/family session. We met up at Guana Beaches on a Sunday evening and it was perfect. I had a blast chasing them around with my camera and their little man just loved the beach and was all smiles. We got a ton of great images. Congrats to you guys and I hope I can capture little J's newborn session!

Jamie + Trevor's maternity session

Gotta love Facebook! You can re-connect with just about anyone, and one of my childhood friends reached out to me for a maternity session. I can remember playing dress up with Jamie when we were in 2nd or 3rd grade! Isn't that crazy?! I lost touch with her in high school and it had been 16 years since I had seen her! She looks exactly the same and now, she has that wonderful pregnancy glow. We had a great session at Alpine Groves and she came with sunflowers and their adorable dog Maggie. I love sessions with furbabies! I can't wait to photograph their baby boy session in July but in the meantime, enjoy this sneak peek. :)

Liz + Adam's maternity session

Liz and Adam have been dear friends of ours for about 10 years. We've traveled together, partied together, been through a lot of ups and downs too. We cherish their friendship very much. We were so sad when they moved to South Fla last year, but very happy to hear they were expecting! Last weekend they came for a visit and we took the time to do a quick maternity session in my backyard. I had to coax Liz to do these because she was feeling big and...well.. pregnant. But of course she looks gorgeous and I think these pictures prove it! We can't wait for June to meet little Miss Madeline! Love you guys!

Maternity& Newborn packages

I've been asked a lot lately if I offer maternity/ newborn specials or combos. It was something I didn't have a lot of requests for in the past- but it seems like there is a baby boom in 2012! I know of so many friends and acquaintances that are expecting this year! So what better time than now to introduce this special package! Contact me for more details/pricing and to book your session.

1st session of 2012: maternity!

I'm kicking the new year off the right way- with a fabulous maternity session! I spent a gorgeous Sunday afternoon with Aanal and Simal at one of my favorite parks. Apparently it's also a fav of several other photogs, because I was dodging other photo sessions too! Didn't make me too happy - but I roll with the punches! Aanal and Simal are 1st time parents- so excited- and can't wait to meet their baby girl in February. Congrats to them!

Maternity session at the beach

I absolutely love doing maternity sessions. The happy parents- to- be are always glowing and thrilled to meet their little one. It's a joyous time in their lives. I did this session with Terikay and Steve at Guana Beaches- it was a nice evening and we got some great shots! We even wrote little "K"'s name in the sand- so cute! Can't wait to meet her in January 2012!

Kari + Andrew maternity

One of my best friends contacted me recently. Her good friend Kari is expecting her 1st child- a girl- in December- and she wanted to surprise her with maternity pix! Isn't that sweet? Such a great gift! I was a little nervous to take the maternity pix as it had honestly been quite some time since I had the opportunity to photograph a growing belly! But the creative juices flowed..... I met up with Kari and Andrew at one of my favorite beaches- it was a perfect October evening. Kari and Andrew are both very photogenic and they were extremely relaxed- which makes MY job a whole lot easier! :) Congrats Kari and Andrew- and I can't wait to meet your little bundle of joy!

Kari + Andrew- sneak peek!

Last night I had a maternity session at the beach w/ Kari and Andrew. LOTS of favorites but here is a collage that I put together for the meantime. Full post and more pix to come over the weekend- stay tuned!.....
