To say this mama has a perfect belly could be an understatement. Of course every belly that sustains and grows life is perfect in each and every unique way, but dude ~ this is the stock photo beautiful belly-ness. Hee – at 20 weeks myself and just starting to look pregnant vs. chubby you can certainly color-me-jealous!
Recent events have called me to submit an application as a voluneteer photographer for this amazing nonprofit – Now I lay me down to sleep. As stated in their site:
Pregnancy: The state of being with child. [British Medical Dictionary] The beginning of a parent’s hopes and dreams. The anticipation of the pitter patter of tiny little feet. A family being born unto each other. No parent ever expects their dream to shatter. But sadly, sometimes this dream can turn into a nightmare.
Each year nearly 3.3 million babies are stillborn, and more than 4 million others die within 28 days of coming into the world. [World Health Organization] With advanced medical technology, it is a parents expectation that those born unto us will out live us. When a baby dies, it is outside the natural order of life and families are left devastated and forever changed.
Please spread the word that every child is worth celebrating ~ no matter how long their big spirits graced this world. Find a photographer here: http://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/locate_photographer/
Now go hug your babies. I know I’ll be hugging mine.

oh and for those of you in the know…NO – not me. We’re thankfully still happy & healthy. Just supporting those we love.
So this gorgeous model i got to work with took s.t.u.n.n.i.n.g. photos. But my favorite part was post production and playing with the images. I love to offer my clients a range of natural (what the picture really looked like) and more theatrical (what the intended mood was). These sort of options are available for pin-up sessions and personal portrait sessions.
So then you get to decide ~ which is your favorite???

This was my second session with this cutie pie. And boy-oh-boy has she grown!!! My favorite part ~ the giggles. She is one happy baby. I don’t know why but my favorites of this session all tend to be black & white pictures. I think its just the intensity of those eyes combined with such soft and delicate skin that makes for such a good transformation. Nothing focuses an image more than black & white ~ which also makes the first photo one of my all time favorites.
Black & white photography was actually my ‘original trade’ and what i was trained in. Reminds me of alllllll those hours spent in the darkroom in college. Lost ~ i could litereally get lost in there for an entire day. It was awesome.

I had the pleasure of meeting this couple on one of the DREARIEST days this spring. No kidding ~ it was horrible. Thankfully they were great sports about it as we skirted in an out of doorways and overhangs. Even their pup came along for the ride. There’s always a blessing in disguise when things like this happen. For starters ~ I bet their wedding day will be beautiful. And we really did get some cool photos. Nothing like wet pavement to make things look cool & sultry like…
