I seriously LOVE with my past brides and grooms contact me again to celebrate the next step in their life. I met Jamie and Eric in 2010 when I photographed their August wedding and now they are anxiously awaiting the birth of their little girl at the beginning of November. I seriously think Jamie has the cutest pregnant belly I have ever seen! We met up last week for their maternity photos. Here are a few favorites.

All these gorgeous bellies almost make me want to be pregnant again! (Shhh don’t tell my husband! I think he is still recovering from the last pregnancy!) Carrie is 36 weeks here and is expecting a baby boy. Who wouldn’t want to be pregnant if they looked as gorgeous as Carrie does? She is absolutely glowing! Here are a few favorites from our session at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens.

Carrie it was great to finally meet you and congrats again! I can’t wait to meet baby C!

Tonya and her husband are expecting their first little bundle of joy this March…. and they have chosen to wait to find out what they are having! So while we don’t know if the baby will be a baby Cooper or a baby Zoe, we DO know that this is seriously one totally gorgeous Mommy to be. Pregnancy looks amazing on her and at 36 weeks she is absolutely glowing. We met this past Saturday evening at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens for her maternity session. Here are a few favorites….

Because they don’t know boy/ girl yet, the W Family has been referring to their little one as “CZ” during their pregnancy.

W Family- it was great meeting you and I can’t wait to meet the little one! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

I have know Heather for many, many years… and hard to believe that the girl I grew up with one one day be calling me for maternity photos! We met this past week at her and her hubby’s home in Alachua. They are expecting a baby boy who could make his arrival any day now…. I can’t wait to meet the little guy! Here a few favorites from out session….

I think this is one of my all time favorite maternity photos ever- and I can’t even take credit for the idea. Heather’s hubby wanted a photo of them hanging out reading their maternity books.

Heather- it was so great to see you again and meet your hubby! Best of luck with your last few weeks of pregnancy and I can’t wait to meet your little guy when he arrives!

This was literally the hottest session that I have ever had- even at 7 at night it was still 95 degrees with no breeze whatsoever in Gainesville. I met with Christi and her darling husband and daughter at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens to celebrate baby #2′s bump. Christi purchased my Belly to Baby package, so you will soon see their newest addition – a little girl named Riley- on this blog. We braved the heat and the bugs to capture this sunset session. Thanks to this beautiful family for being such great sports even though I know they had to be miserable, especially Christi who is about 3 weeks away from giving birth. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Aren’t these blocks so cute? They are larger than the ones that I normally use and I think they photographed great!

Family of three, soon to be four…..

And of course I had to share one of the soon to be big sister Aubree. She is almost two and is such a little cutie!

I am so in love with all of the beautiful mommies that have contacted me recently for sessions. I love maternity sessions because there is nothing more enjoyable then capturing that bond between a mother and her child- and it certainly brings me back to when I was pregnant and can so vividly remember all of Madalyn’s little flutters and kicks. (Well, not always LITTLE kicks!) Richelle and her husband Eric met me last week at the beautiful Kanapaha Botanical Gardens for their maternity session. She is 36 weeks and expecting her first child- a little girl. They have chosen my Baby’s First Year Plan so you will get to meet their little girl and follow her through her first year of life. Congrats Richelle and Eric and I can’t wait to meet little Josephine!
