pregnant! // MALLORY // CHARLOTTE, NC

Maternity is quickly becoming my favorite (well, one of them) things to shoot. Mallory is due in the next couple of months and is looking radiant. Seriously, how great does this mama-to-be look? She did her own hair and makeup and we discussed locations and outfits prior to the shoot. She wanted a beautiful backdrop for these simple portraits.

Huge congratulations to Mallory and Will - you two will be wonderful parents. Best of luck in the big move to NYC and on the birth of your beautiful baby boy!

WANT GREAT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHS?

Any newly engaged readers (or readers who are on the way to being engaged), you should read this!

Obviously, as a photographer, I put such a high value on photography and stress the importance of picking someone that's right for you. However, this also gives you a guide on what else you need to look at when choosing someone to be that intricate part of documenting your love story!

WILDFLOWER DAYS // NICCI & JUNIE

I am so thankful for Nicci. And Junie. And of course Sol.The more time I spend with this family, the happier I am to know them.

You might remember them from their ridiculously awesome family session. Or maybe you've followed Nicci's awesome blog?

Either way, some of these images are among my favorites I've ever taken. Thanks for being my models for the day, and for making awesome flower crowns, Nicci :]

pregnant! // LIZ // DAVIDSON, NC

I am so, so happy to finally have Liz and her beautiful (not quite here yet little one) up on the blog! My sweet friend Nicci (who you might remember from this blog post) introduced me to Liz a couple of months back. Nicci and her sweet babe Junie (who will be making their appearance next week on the blog) were going to model for me because I was renting a new lens, and Liz joined us!

It's easy to become quick friends with Liz. She's so genuine, kind hearted, intentional and a wonderful soul. I can tell just from knowing her a short time that she's going to be a ridiculously awesome mom. And after meeting her husband Jeff, I can tell that he's also super genuine and funny - and seeing him interact with such patience with Junie?.... they're gonna be a kickass team.

Maternity is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to shoot. I think at a time in your life when you don't necessarily feel the most beautiful, it's important to have someone show you just how gorgeous you really are. I hope you feel as beautiful as you look, Liz!

Liz runs an awesome place called The Art Room - where kids can go for the day and unlock their creativity! Mama's of little ones - GO check out their website!
