I’ve got some serious baby love on the brain this week! I’ve been witness to another miracle and I can’t wait to share it with you all. So while I bite my finger nails in anticipation and edit those pictures away, I’ll assuage your baby hunger with this GORGEOUS maternity session with Julia & Lee! They were my wedding clients 2 years ago and now they’ve started their own little family. Since these pictures were taken back in February their stunning daughter Abigail has entered the world! I’m sad to have missed it, but so lucky to have captured these beautiful portraits of mom and dad loving her even before she was here. Enjoy!

I love when my wedding clients call me and tell me that they’re looking for the next chapter in their love story! I shot Lindsay and Russell’s wedding over 3 years ago now and just this past fall shot her sister’s gorgeous St. Thomas wedding as well! Now Lindsay and Russ are expecting their first litte one and expanding their family! I was beyond thrilled to spend a 3rd weekend in a row with this couple, they’re just my absolute favorites! We had so much fun here in Fayetteville and their little guy is due any day now! Enjoy!

This is the year of the baby, I’ve know more people who’ve gotten preggers this year than married! Wowzah! So that means a whole new avenue of photography for me. As you’ve probably noticed, there have been a lot more newborns on my website recently. No complaints from me, that’s for sure! Along with newborns, I’m starting to shoot more maternity sessions which is so entertaining! It’s the perfect next chapter in a couple’s Love Story! Michelle and Bill contacted me about a maternity session after seeing pictures from Liz & Alton’s wedding earlier in the summer. Their new little girl is due to arrive TOMORROW! Woohoo! I can’t wait to meet her! So I thought it’d be apt timing to share their Baby Bump session today! We had a great time exploring Green Lakes State Park! I shoot there a lot, but it’s so big that I could shoot there for days! I hope I can find a location as cool as this in North Carolina!

P.S. Autumn really is my favorite season to shoot at Green Lakes, the colors reflected in the water remind me of paint on a canvas! So gorgeous!

Last weekend was my last weekend of the season where I didn’t have a wedding, so I spent it in Binghamton with one of my favorite married couples Grace and Chad for their maternity session!
