So when I first moved to Providence I knew that I wanted to make more use of social networking – things like Twitter, Facebook, etc. Mainly Twitter because it was new to me. One of the first people I “met” through Twitter was Allison when she responded to my post about my neighbors bringing us banana bread our first week in the new house. We kept talking and discovered that we were both non-natives, she being a news anchor that had been all over the country and me being a medical spouse which means that we aren’t anywhere for more than four years. This definitely bonded us – that and the fact that she was pregnant and I was a mother of two. We met for coffee a few times and immediately hit it off in person as well – she is so incredibly sweet and kind and funny it was hard NOT to. This past week I basically invited myself to do her maternity pictures because she is such a gorgeous mama to be – both inside and out – and I knew I wanted her for my portfolio. She and her husband Craig are SO excited to meet their new little baby in just two short weeks. Combine that with the fact that even at 38 weeks with semi-constant braxton hicks Allison was glowing and happy and Craig was adorably in love with her, it made the shoot very very easy to do. I’ve been 38 weeks pregnant twice now and I don’t remember looking or feeling this happy!!
I’ve said before that I love maternity sessions because it is the last few moments of life before it changes forever. Before two become a family. It’s even more special to do when it’s a friend…no matter how new of a friend it is.
It was difficult to narrow down what to show because they are keeping the gender of the baby a surprise so I didn’t want to show anything that might give something away!!!! (That’s also why the nursery pictures are in black and white) 
My lips are sealed. Now to just invite myself over for their newborn session because this is going to be one gorgeous baby….hmmmmm…. Kidding! Okay…not really
