So I was on vacation at the beach this past week and I met this really hot pregnant model.

She asked if I had any time to do a session with her on the beach and I said yes, of course.

Talk about a beautiful subject to photograph. My wife and baby.

We are exspecting our first born child this September.

It is so serreal to think that there is a little person living inside of my wife just waiting to come out and join us soon.

Baby, I love you and love our baby even though I don’t know him yet.

I love you, our baby, and loved capturing this special time in our life.

You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Love you.

I really enjoy doing family and maternity sessions.

It was a joy to work with the hook family on this session last week.

I shot these images just two weeks before their new addition would be joining the family.

Had a great time with your family.

Congratulations to you both on the new baby!

I had the opportunity this past week to shoot a very unique photo session.

The photo session was for one of my sister in laws really good friends.

The interesting part about the session was that it was a little bit wedding and a little bit Maternity all wrapped into one.

Mary and Stephen were married just that morning before I joined them for their session.

We had a really nice time capturing what is sure to be one the coolest days in their life.

Congratulations to you both on your marriage and soon arrival of the little one.

Many Blessings!
