Mandy & Baby Boy ~ (Maternity)

I spoke with my friend Mandy about taking her maternity pictures very shortly after I learned she was expecting her second child. It's taken several months and working out of schedules (mostly on my part!), but we finally got her maternity shoot in! Very glad we did... the timing turned out to be perfect! I love the pictures we got of her beautiful baby bump. Looking forward to meeting her new little boy before too long!

Michele, Baby Girl & Big Brother ~ (Maternity)

Although photography has been a major hobby of mine for many years, I am still a newbie to professional photography. I feel that I have a bit of a learning curve to make up for here at the beginning... but I am loving every minute of it. This week I took on the challenge of a new genre with my first maternity shoot. (Very grateful for my new friend Michele who was kind enough to model her beautiful baby belly for me!) I was pretty happy with how the shoot turned out, but see what you think...
