I was delighted to meet Lindsay and her husband, Nate, for their maternity session!  They’re a really sweet and special couple, and I enjoyed my evening spent with them.  Lindsay was 32 weeks pregnant when we met up, and she had the cutest little baby bump!  And Nate…. well, he wasn’t one of those husbands who got dragged along by their wife.  Nate does some photography himself, so he was excited for the session too!  Not only does Nate do photography, but he (and Lindsay) are also in the Army. Nate unfortunately was deployed about a week after our session, so it was important to them to have these photos done before he left.  He’ll miss the birth of his baby, but gets to come back shortly after the birth to meet his first child!  My heart goes out to him having to miss such a big event.  Coming from an Army family myself, I know what their life is like, and I really can’t thank them enough for serving our country!  I wish Nate a safe and quick deployment, and I can’t wait to hear from Lindsay that she’s had the baby!  I’m excited for their newborn session in May!

Here are a few photos from their maternity session.  As you’ll see, we were having some lovely light in Raleigh that night.  Couldn’t have asked for better weather in March!

We had a good bit of rain on the day of Chelsey and Kris’s maternity session, but thankfully the clouds cleared JUST before our session!  So we ended up having a beautiful evening, as we’d hoped.  Chelsey looked absolutely adorable pregnant, as you’ll see below.  She chose the most amazing colors for her outfits, and she looked just beautiful!  I so enjoyed meeting them and working with them.  We did this session a few months back, and their sweet little boy has already made an appearance!  So, you’ll have to tune into the blog to see photos from his newborn session!

And don’t forget to set your DVR’s tomorrow night for my family’s appearance on HGTV!  10 p.m. EST.  We’re so excited that it’s FINALLY airing!  🙂

Oh, what fun Jessica and Scott were for their maternity session!  We had such a blast!  These two are expecting their first baby, a BOY, in March.  And judging just by the fact that these two are stunning, smart, and fun… their baby boy is going to be one amazing person!  I really can’t wait to meet him for his newborn session.  I have to say there are SO many photos from their session that I’m just in love with.  These two made my job easy!  And our wonderfully warm weather in Raleigh this winter has sure made my January sessions so much more enjoyable!  Below are a few of my favorites from their session!
