Every once in a while a session just gives me goosebumps. I was giddy during the session and while I was editing the images. This mama to be is stunning, and photographs amazingly…and I can’t wait to see her new little one in a few months!

Here’s a little peek for now…the last image has to be one of my all time fav’s.

I have been all over the place lately…and I apologize for my blog neglect. Literally just this morning I got home from flying to Pittsburg Friday to shoot an 11 hour wedding on Saturday. Needless to say being a jet set photographer is not as glamorous as it seems ;). I have napped, then edited several sessions and feel like I could nap again (or even sleep through the night at 6:45 pm).

But I wanted to get a quick little peek up of this lovely maternity session from a little over a week ago (I know…much later than my normal peeks).

Inspiration | Fredericksburg Virginia Maternity Photographer

It started as a little Facebook vent that a couple of fellow photographers Stephanie Johnson and Rashmi Pappu, were not loving doing their maternity sessions and needed some inspiration. Personally, I LOVE maternity sessions and could shoot them everyday…all day (well, that is a bit excessive, but you get the point). Since I clearly can’t get enough of maternities and will do anything to get one in one of my fields. I told Stephanie and Rashmi to get a model (or two) and we would go play maternity session, my way. So they put out the word that a free session was to be had and we had more prego girls than we knew what to do with! While they were sorting out the mom’s to be, I did what I like to do and begun styling the shoot. I already knew we were going to play in one of my fields, and lucky us all the fields are overflowing with Queen Anne Lace wildflowers right now….sigh!

So, onto the styling. Styling is something I want to do a lot more of for my clients. I hope that my current clients and my future clients can see through this session that it is worth the extra effort to bring the vision together. I was going for Boho Chic for this session. Earthy, natural and colorful amongst the white of the Queen Anne Lace. Something as simple as a straw hat, jewelry and a couple of flowers really took the images to the next level. Of course the lovely Mommies to Be added a ton. They were both so awesome, withstood the heat and did anything we asked of them.

There are going to be a lot of images. I get a little too excited when I have a vision, and it works out. Also there is a bit of “skin” in this post. If you are not comfortable with a lot of skin, please feel free to leave the blog or click here.
