I am sure that it really does not need to be said that I was eager to get back up to Maryland to visit this lovely lady again. But I was. Her and her hubby were a dream to work with and adding a newborn into that mixture made me surprisingly happy to make the drive.

So, I packed up some new blankets, an egg basket from my own kitchen (cause it went with the bed), oodles of inspiration and I was on my way. This little guy had  another plan…watch me! He dozed here and there, but for only being 7 days old, he was still quite attentive.

Here is their handsome little man….

This was my last session of the 2009 year, and I love it. This lovely lady and her hubby were in town visiting family all the way from Atlanta, Georgia and wanted to sneak in a session before heading home to prepare for the arrival of their little one. I am a bit sad that I will not be meeting this little one as a newborn *tear*, but they assured me a visit in a few months. I will be anxiously waiting.

At the end of the session we snuck in some images of the brother and SIL they were visiting. Hopefully soon (when it is warmer) I can convince them to come back to me for a full session.

I have been “spoiled” rotten lately by my maternity clients. They have not only been stunning, but ever so trusting of my vision and styling. I drove over 2 hours to Maryland to visit this lovely mama to be, and it was worth every second of the trip. I am eagerly waiting another trip to visit their little one due very very soon!
