It is the very last day of August!! (Wow!) That means that my newborn promo is over after today. Just as a reminder, if you know anyone who is pregnant and due before November 1 or if *you* are pregnant and due before November 1, I am offering a great newborn promo! I started advertising too late and still have a few slots left 
A lot of photographers don’t like shooting maternity because, well, it’s a belly. I personally love them. Did I always? No, definitely not! But I have grown to appreciate what I am really shooting. First off, it is the time that, I think, a woman is at her most beautiful. And it’s not just a belly – it is the last few times of sanity, the last few moments of quiet, of intimacy, of romance before a new baby joins the family. Whether it’s the first child or the fourth, it is a time to step back and focus on what is coming. And to focus on the relationship. It is a session often full of emotion – we laugh a lot, sometimes there is a little tearing up, a lot of smiles, joy, nerves and a lot of pre-nostalgia if you can call it that.
I met A and J down at Narragansett beach last night for a little sunset mini-maternity session. They signed up for the newborn promo I am running because A. is due in a few short weeks and let me tell you, it’s going to be HARD to narrow down the photos from this session. Momma-to-be was beautiful, the light was absolutely delicious as you will see, and the sky got just incredibly gorgeous towards the end. Not to mention that they themselves were SO MUCH FUN! (I mean, hello?!?! She climbed up the side of a lifeguard stand for a picture!) But seriously, they have known each other since they were born (literally, their families have known each other since way long ago) and you can tell. There is an ease, a peace, a connection between them as they wait for their baby boy to join them. I feel so honored that they chose me to capture these moments and I can’t wait to see them again in a few weeks and meet their son!!!
I know this is similar to the shot I did in my last maternity but it’s such a gorgeous classic shot – and look at the color we got!!
Sometimes I get to throw everything out the window and do a shoot for a friend where I can truly relax, have fun and really do my thing. I mean, I do this to an extent with regular clients, but when it’s a friend, it is a world of difference. I met up with Dani and her hubby Steve on Sunday night to do some maternity pictures for their little munchkin. Munchkin is due in five weeks and I cannot believe how quickly the time has flown!! Dani and Steve had their engagement photos done at Sakonnet Vineyards in GORGEOUS Little Compton, RI, so it was wonderful to come full circle and do their maternity pictures here. (Now if only I could figure out how to get the newborn shots done there, too! Hehehe) Dani looks amazing for 35 weeks and I can’t wait to meet munchkin in a few short weeks!! I keep going back and forth whether it’s a boy or a girl but I think I have settled on BOY. My favorites. A lot of my favorites…
Gorgeous Dani
Having fun
