So excited to share this lovely lil maternity session with y’all today! Katherine & Mark are new clients of mine & I love them to pieces already! They are such super nice & sweet people! I love when I meet new clients & we just click! I am currently anxiously awaiting the arrival of their lil one! She’s past her due date by a few days so we’re waiting patiently for lil A to make her appearance!

It was a gorgeous Sunday this past January when I shot these…we couldn’t have asked for milder weather for this! They wanted a some pics on the water & then some downtown so that’s what we did!

We started over on the dirtier, seedier side of the river…we all know where I’m talking about…the boardwalk before the bridge, but the one in the woods! :D It actually is really gorgeous back there on the water & I didn’t know it even went as far back as it did. I think I’ve only been on that boardwalk like one other time but didn’t walk to the back. It’s scary back in there! :D But hey, I’ll shoot wherever!

So when we were coming back up the boardwalk I noticed a “path” in the woods if you can even call it that & asked if they minded if I jumped down & explored. That if they heard me scream come get me! :D I swear we were in somebody’s “home” in there…but there was this awesome tree/vine coverage that I loved! Oh the places & things I ask my clients to do! They were totally game for jumping down there & shooting a few pics!

Keep reading..there’s an amusing story to tell behind one of the images!

Sooo lil sidenote here…I saw the fallen down tree so obviously I wanted them to attempt to sit on it. They had to go through briars & lots of tree limbs in order to sit down. And being pregnant Katherine was reaching to grab onto some of the limbs so she didn’t trip through the thick brush. And right as she reaches up for a limb to grab onto before she sat down she squealed…are you ready…there was a used condom hanging down from the branch she almost grabbed! Ewwwwwww…told you I thought we were in someone’s “home!” And told you I have some of the best clients ever, they’ll do anything for their pics! So of course Mark got a stick & flung it from the tree & they had to sit & take a picture after all of that! LOL

This is what makes my job so fun…I have funny, sometimes crazy, stories from allllllll of my shoots! Now looking at this picture you would never had known that would you!? :D I love people that can share in my crude sense of humor too!

This black & white is one of my faves!

Katherine & Mark I had so much fun with you both that day! THANK YOU BOTH for being such great awesome people & rolling with anything! I’m anxiously awaiting the arriving of lil A but not as anxiously as y’all are! Especially since princess is taking her time making her debut! See y’all soon!

xoxo
