{Glowing!} Harford, Maryland Custom Portrait Photographer

Posted on July 28, 2010

…and growing (well–the belly at least).
This gorgeous Mama to be is glowing from the inside out, as any pregnant woman should.
Believe it or not–she’s my neighbor…and we just met for the first time last night.

In our neighborhood we are blessed with a beautiful trail only steps away…so we of course took advantage.
It was a treat to stroll around with the adorable parents to be.

Mom was a trooper on this hot summer night–but because of that we were able to steal some great shots.
Photographing grown-ups is surreal…they stand still, they can meet for a session past 6:30….it’s a treat!

Enjoy your sneak peek guys…can’t wait to photograph your new addition in September!!

Well…not really I guess. This is another adorable couple with 2 furbabies, so really–baby makes 5!
These two were super sweet, and the tiny pups were an added bonus to this session.
Would you believe we toted them around the location in their little bags until it was their “turn,” and they didn’t make much of a peep! It was the cutest thing!

L is due in August and she looks absolutley gorgeous right now.
The camera loved her, we had a stunning evening, and I am excited to share the moments before their son arrives.
I can’t wait to phorograph him!

I have to admit, I always get a bit of nerves before maternity sessions because …it’s a grown-up! I have mostly babies and kiddos in front of my lens. I always leave giddy and happy to get some differerent shots–and mostly excited to photograph their babies. It’s a great feeling to walk into the home of the new parents and already know them like an old friend.

Thanks for looking, and thanks P fam….good luck!!

Love love love love…… they’re so cute! Hubby was up for anything!

This baby is the most wanted baby, and this couple is going to make spectacular parents. They radiate love and warmth…

That first shot is my favorite because I can FEEL this Mom’s excitment and adoration when I look at it….

It’s always fun getting to know the expecting family before the newborn shoot–and what better way than a maternity shoot on a gorgeous summer–er–I mean spring (it REALLY felt like summer) evening!

Thanks for a wonderful night.
Can’t wait to meet your baby girl in August!

This was just a mini, but I couldn’t help sharing more than my standard 2/3. I don’t do maternity often, and it was fun!

Ahhhh…big change in the air for the Parks family! Another baby is on the way in less than a month.
No, not me!

This is my sister in law. We are married to brothers, and I am lucky enough to say she is my very good friend too.
My daughter and their daughter are only 9 months apart, and I love that we can get together lots and watch the kids grow up together.

Now, the first time around they found out they were having a girl. This time–they are having a SUPRISE! I love that. I didn’t find out either time I was pregant (yes, I know–there are 2 types of people in the world, those that find out, and those that don’t), but I am shocked that they are not because my sis-in-law is a big planner! I am happy they aren’t though, as I love a good suprise baby (and I have hand me downs for them either way)!

When she asked me to pop over today and grab some belly shots and shots with little “E,” I was excited. I can remember this feeling all too well. Really, it’s like it was yesterday. Before Jax was born, I had supreme Mama anxiety over changing Marlie’s life. I loved us just the way we were, but I knew we’d all love this new baby like crazy. I soaked in every second with her at the end of the pregnancy with Jax like it was my job, knowing we would truly never have THIS again. And we don’t have THAT anymore, ….but we have something better now.

I am so blessed to be able to snap this moment in time for my neice–and for Mommy. You can’t get it back, and you really never want to, but it’s nice to always remember it.

So we went over for a yummy Valentine’s Day breakfast complete with heart shaped Jello, and we celebrated family LOVE!
Love you! Can’t wait until Baby Parks makes their way into this world.

Pretty Mommy….

I love this next series of pictures…

I love her face here, kind of saying, “When is this thing coming OUT?”

FAVE

Just one of the future big sis!

And some crazy girl cousins….poor Jax! I think he’s hoping for a boy baby to snuggle!!

A new family of three is on the way…or should I say 5?? Anyone who has a dog knows they might as well be your children!

What a sweetheart this mom to be was….brace yourself here–she’s 39 weeks!! Yes, that’s right the baby is due next week. I wouldn’t have stepped anywhere near a camera when I was that far along, but I can totally see why she did! Isn’t she adorable? I wish I looked that fabulous right before delivery!!

It was an honor to capture such a special moment for this family, and I can’t wait to meet their little one VERY soon! I hope the “boys” don’t get to jealous of the new arrival! They were so good for their session today!

Enjoy the sneak….only 3, as this was a mini session!
