Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of hanging out with some friends at their home. It was great to see them again, but I was there on a mission. Laura and Josh are expecting and I wanted to document this special milestone in their lives. Laura is due at the end of this month, so we really got her at the end of her pregnancy. It was fun to do some maternity photos for once and I look forward to documenting their daughter soon when she is brought into this world. The biggest thing I noticed with the two of them was their emotions. It reminded me a little bit of the love I see when photographing a wedding, but it was also a little different. The look they gave each other constantly was one of the warmest I have seen. I can only imagine that having a child might refresh feelings and make those more evident to one another as well as others. It was nice to see this, as it was something unexpected when I went to their home. We got a lot of great images inside and out and I had a hard time not posting more. Enjoy you two and thank you so much for sharing this huge event in your lives with me!
We started out with some of momma by herself…
This is how big she is…
Laura, you look great!!!
Enter daddy…
See, only a woman can carry a baby…
So cute…
I think pappa loves his girls!
L-O-V-E it!
Once I took a peek at the light in the bedroom, we moved into there for some more intimate shots… Josh reminded me of the scene from Benny and Joon as Laura was doing this….hilarious!
A great portrait of Mamma June!

We then went outside on the ice to get some fun shots in the snow…
