First ever Maternity shoot and boy was I in for a surprise…
Posted on February 12, 2009
On Sunday, the 8th, I did my first ever Maternity shoot. It was for a friend of a friend and she looked fabulous! I was a little nervous about doing this shoot, as I’ve never done one before like this and was going to be using a new lens and a new camera, talk about nerves being a little rattled. Plus, it was to be indoors, so I just did the best I could…
However, who would’ve ever guessed that this photo shoot would end up being a very special one!! Why was it special? Well, first of all, the mother-to-be’s due date wasn’t until March 28th. Then, just yesterday I received an email from a friend stating that the mother-to-be is actually a Mommy!! That very same night of the photo session she went into the hospital and brought little Liam into this world! As far as I know baby and mom are doing well, but because the little guy was quite early he’ll have to stay in the hospital for a little while.
Talk about timing! I feel very honored to have captured the last hours of her pregnancy and to be able to present her with memories that almost could not have been captured had it been just one day later. I am currently working on the photos and will post a few sneak peeks soon.
Hi Brandy- These are so sweet! I hope you get to take some of the Darling baby!Kathy
