Getting to capture the beauty and grace of pregnancy is one of my favorite things to do. So when my friend, Kim, wanted to book a maternity session, I was ecstatic! Of course, Kim was all ready with the perfect dress (thank you Amazon) and fun props to coincide with her February due date! The doughnuts and cookies were perfect for a mother-daughter picnic on the bed!
Penelope was on the move during the session–which is to be expected of any girls who is anticipating becoming a big sister! She had her sweet smile that came out at just the right moments!
When she needed a break, we were able to continue getting some great shots of Adam and Kim! They are amazing parents and their love for each other and their girls is so very apparent!
And then, in Rockstar-Dad fashion, Adam and Penelope went downstairs to play so we could get some solo portraits of Kim during this special time. I think sometimes, as women, we struggle to embrace the changes that happen in and to our bodies during pregnancy. I am so glad that Kim was in awe and appreciation of her body and its beautiful ability to adapt and change to her growing little girl. Her welcoming and appreciation of the stages really gave her a confidence and glow that was so fun to capture on camera.
And of course, Miss Penelope couldn’t stay away for too long–so she rejoined us several times to get in some more, Mommy-time! With Lifestyle Sessions, we go into with only rough plans (especially with younger kids) because, after all, the whole idea behind them is to capture the beauty in the everyday. Through the snack breaks and stories. Through the hugs and kisses. And through everything else that makes up this chaotic, wonderful life!
I am thrilled to meet your sweet baby girl when she arrives in the world, surrounded already by so much love. I know that P will be the best big sister! Congratulations Kim and Adam…I am so very excited for you and your growing family!
Much love,
Ang
