Maternity Shoot

I thought I would share some images from a maternity session I did this weekend. The parents are both firefighters (though of course mom isn't out fighting any blazes right now) and dad is also in the military so this little one will have lots to be proud of when he gets here.
This couple is very deserving after trying for so long and having several miscarrages, they are finally expecting their son next month. I hope I was able to capture this special time in their lives in a way they can cherish forever.
I felt bad on some of the shots where she had to lay down on the floor. If you've ever been pregnant, you know that is an ordeal trying to get up and down, but she was a trooper and they came out great.
I told her the name was too long though because my blocks kept falling off of her belly! She made her husband go behind the background and sit down so she could lean against him so her belly would stick out just a little more. It worked and that left her hands free to place on her belly instead of holding herself up.
Overall, I was very pleased with this session and hopefully will get the opportunity for more maternity sessions in the future.
If you would like, you can see more from this session at my website or my Flickr!
