Sometimes you walk into a session and just think to yourself, “oh, this is going to be good!”. This was one of those times. Not only did mom look amazing (which is not easy to pull off at seven months pregnant), but her son was adorable with his little head full of golden curls, and the light in her house was to die for! I wish I could do every session there. We were technically just going to do a mini session, but mom had some ideas, and I had some ideas, and we just kept shooting. I’m so glad, because I think we got some gorgeous shots.
Amy came to the session fully prepared (which I love) complete with some ideas to try and recreate a few favorite poses that she found on the internet. The inspiration for this shot came from (I believe) the fabulous Bentley Waters. When she sent me the original picture I wasn’t sure that we would be able to pull it off – after all, anything that requires the willful participation of a two-year-old is always a set-up for failure – but little J cooperated beautifully and I love the way it turned out.
Oh these are just beautiful! The mom is amazingly beautiful! She’s got one of the best baby bumps i’ve seen! Great captures! ++
What a stunning momma to be! Love the lighting in these and the ones in front of the window are gorgeous.
These are stunning and the light is to die for! What a beautiful mom to be and what a handsome big brother!
Kelli, you do such amazing and thoughtful photos. You are very talented!
These are lovely and so is the mom!!
All of those are amazing and you’re right: great light! The last shot is my favorite! Mom looks great!
I love these!! The one with the huge window should be blown up big on a canvas for baby’s room!! Stunning work!
These are stunning, what a gorgeous Mother with a gorgeous house! Love them.
I’m blushing a bit just reading the comments! Thanks so much Kelli! I can’t wait for the newborn shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the last pic too! From Jack’s birthmark to the flowers he picked to the rings … there’s just so many special bits of significance that it stirs up a great feeling for me! It’ll be fun to share one day with baby H.
What a gorgeous mama! Love them all, but there is something SO great about that last pic. I would have to have it huge, honestly. Amazing work.
i love all these, but that last one just made me laugh!
