Maternity Preview

Today was my first of three upcoming maternity then newborn shoots I have scheduled.  You might recognize this family as I photographed them over the summer right after they found out they were expecting.  Flash forward and this wonderful mom Jen is about to pop anyday!  I just wanted to post a quick image I edited today that I couldn’t wait to share.  I’ll get more up soon!

Alright here are more from this session!  I converted the rest to black and white because I love the simplicity of black and white for this special time.  Pregnancy is all about the wonderful shape of a woman and I feel that black and white strips out all the distracting elements and leaves you with light and shape.  I can’t wait to meet the newest addition and photography him or her!!!
