Erin and Stewart are good friends of mine, but I don’t get to see a lot of them lately since they’re currently living in the UK! So when Erin let me know they were flying home for her baby shower, and asked if we could fit some maternity photos into her trip, I jumped at the chance! I love maternity sessions, in general. They are so warm and sweet and fun – everyone is excited about a new baby, and it really shows through in photos. I love maternity photos even MORE when I get full control over wardrobe. There’s nothing better than playing dress-up with friends and calling it work!
If you’ve ever had maternity photos, or even just looked into it, you know that maternity gowns are expensive. Paying that much for something you’re going to wear for an hour, at most, can be really overwhelming. Luckily for my clients, I keep a gorgeous client closet full of beautiful gowns for their sessions! My absolute favorite vendor is Sew Trendy Accessories, and all four of the gowns I chose for Erin are theirs! Looking through these images really gives you an overview of the kinds of gowns I offer – different shapes, colors, sleeve types, neck lines… there are so many choices, and they’re all amazing! Erin was a great sport about the many outfit changes, and Stewart just rolled with the punches!
My obsession with maternity gowns aside, I love maternity sessions for so many reasons. Erin and Stewart are the perfect example of what a great session looks like: amazing connection, sweet moments, and genuine joy at the thought of their new little one. I truly couldn’t ask for more, and I love that we got to capture these memories for them to look back on once their little girl arrives. I am so honored that they trusted me with this!
As the weather turns cold here in Cleveland, I will be looking back on all of these warm fall maternity sessions and waiting for these sweet babies to be born. I can’t wait to meet Erin and Stewart’s little one – even if I don’t get to photograph her – and I can’t wait to get my hands on all of the little ones headed my way soon!
