This session was totally inspired by other photographers. I have been itching to find the ‘perfect’ field for some backlit, beautiful evening lit maternity images.  While driving in the Pungo area, I spotted it and immediately had to try it out.  I put out a call on my Facebook page for a model who was 30-36 weeks and would be willing to trudge outside with me (which since it’s January, is not always easy to find!).  Luckily, we live in Virginia where it isn’t too terribly cold – at least this year – and this lovely young lady was the first to answer my call!  I appreciate her willingness to sit, stand, and pose in a random field with me and I hope you enjoy the results as much as I do!  I hope one of my future clients sees these and wants to go back there because I’d love to do this again!!

Two beautiful couples were squeezed in during the last week of 2011 – between all the family festivities and chaos of the holidays, of course!  Here’s a peek at the images we captured:

I realized after I chose my top ten maternity photos that nearly all of them are couples….and then I smiled.  Many women contact me to schedule their newborn session and say, “I really don’t know that I want belly pictures, but maybe I should capture this time in our lives, too” and I respond with a resounding YES!  Because I believe that maternity portraits aren’t just about the belly – they are a way to capture the love between two people, the love that created life.  So capturing that relationship between parents-to-be is one of my favorite parts of maternity sessions and I hope it shows in my favorites from 2011!

{By the way, I think I could have chosen about 10 different maternity silhouettes to fill this list…it was hard to narrow those to just two!!}

Here’s a sneak peek of a recent maternity session held at the beach- we decided to go for an under-the-pier look for these shots and I just love the way they turned out!

I know most people don’t think that maternity photos can, or should, also be sexy, but I disagree.  And this session proves it!  The connection between this couple is obvious and it was so fun getting to know them.
