I had a great time photographing Amy & Tim last week for their Maternity session! Amy came with lots of cute ideas! They both had such a fun-loving, carefree attitude! We headed to one of my favorite locations in City Park to take these. Overgrown, rustic looking areas are always pretty! Looking forward to photographing their new addition once he/she gets here! It’s a surprise… love when couples do that!

A shot with a few of Amy’s cravings………. LOVE THAT IDEA!! :)

So it’s 4am and I am sitting in my office responding to emails from the weekend and trying to get some work done! I can’t sleep! My Godson Reed is expected to be delivered later today, so I am wide awake. I’m thinking of my cousin Erin and patiently waiting until around 8-9am when I will head to the hospital to take pics ;) I feel like I’m still sleeping and hoping that all the emails I just responded to made sense. Haha! These are crazy hours to be working.

Speaking of babies, I figured today would be a great day to post my friend Melanie’s Maternity photos! She is expecting another baby girl. Her daughter Cameron is going to be an awesome big sister! You may remember me talking about Melanie in a few of my Wedding posts. She was the videographer for my Wedding and did a fabulous job! She also owns a photography business and photographs children, seniors and families across the lake! Melanie is one of those people I feel like I’ve known forever. The very first time I chatted with her, we just clicked. It’s funny because sometimes we will be typing back and forth to each other online and we’ll say the same thing at the same time! Happens alot! Twins. She is a great friend and someone I’ve enjoyed getting to know over the years. We often chat about our photography business’ and are always striving to push ourselves to get better! I love going prop shopping with Mel for our kids shoots! We always say how our props are taking over the house! They really are… its not even funny anymore!

So here is my beautiful friend Melanie, her husband Kevin and their little girl Cameron! These are just a few of my favs :) We took these around this fun little wooded area near their home in Mandeville! Loved it! Oh and the sunlight…. couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous day!

Just beautiful! Cameron…. a ball of energy, a great poser, precious! So full of life!Weeeee!!!LOVE!Daddy and his girl!Seriously, I could eat her up!Makes me smile ;)Those were Cameron’s shoes!

I was so excited when Danny & Ashley contacted me about a Maternity session! It’s funny, I can remember meeting these two several years back at Copeland’s one night when Randy and I were eating, haha! Randy went to school with Ashley & Danny and we have a good bit of mutual friends. We took these last week in City Park. We started out in Storyland which always makes for a cute, colorful atmosphere! Then we headed over to the other part of the park near the bridges and water. The weather looked fine when we started but then about midway through it began to drizzle a little bit. Towards the end, we finished our session because we heard a HUGE POW!!! Lightening had stuck the tree right by us! That was it, we were done! It started pouring raining and we walked back to the car drenched, haha! Thankfully, we were all okay, but I swear driving home I thought my hair was still standing up!

Here are my favs from their session, this was before mother nature ran us off :)

I photographed Lindsey and her adorable family last week in City Park! They were all so cute and I loved their outfits. We went to more of the rustic areas of the park to get that pretty natural setting. It’s been a bit hot lately, but I think we have a cool front coming soon which I am looking forward to! I loved the way these came out, Lindsey is just such beauty! She doesn’t have too much longer to go! :) Loving all these Maternity and newborn shoots lately!
