I really love when a client wants to collaborate on a session to make it personalized but still very distinctly my style and philosophy on shooting. There is a fine line between wanting to recreate something that already happened (Pinterest is a perfect example) vs. using something as inspiration and being creative enough to make it your own entirely. This maternity session with E was very much the latter of the two. She knew the ‘look’ she wanted to go for in terms of her clothing and the general surroundings…she gave me a few ideas though pictures and then left the rest up to me to make uniquely hers and my own. When she showed up with these two amazing dresses I knew I had picked the perfect spot to have our session that would give her that organic and romantic feel that she was looking for.
What she didn’t bother to tell me is that she and her husband were flipping super model gorgeous and would basically make it the most laid back and easy 60 minutes of the month for me. I knew when I met P and asked him how he was and he said ‘I’m cool, cool’ that we were in for a no fuss, simple and fun time. Add pretty much some of the most amazing chemistry EVER to the mix and we honestly could not have gone wrong.
E & P – I think you already know I am obsessed with your session and the two of you. Baby H is so lucky to have you two as a mom and dad and I am so excited about the amazing adventure into parenthood that you are about to embark upon. These photos will be so special to her when she is old enough to understand that you loved her before you knew her. Let’s be sure to get her in front of the lens sooner than later…XOXO!
