Quinceañera Invitations

When my friend Sarah asked me to photographer her daughters Quinceañera this April I was so excited. The first reason because I would be photographing some of my friends and their family celebrating the beauty of  their little girl growing up (what could be better than sharing in your friends' celebrations), but also because I have never photographed a Quinceañera before. On this day we did a couple photos for the invitations. Arianna is so beautiful and she made me remember how fun studio shoots can be.

Maternity Session - Mandy and Robert

This day was a miracle all in itself because 30 minutes after shooting this session, it started raining and even hailing a little. I took them to a location that I love and apparently mother nature was happy I did, because the sun peaked around the clouds, I think, just for them. It was cold and Robert was a trooper, they were up for anything for a good photo, couple after my own heart for sure.

Maternity Session - Mariah and Andrew

Each maternity session is different. No two bellies are the same. I love that. It is almost as if each belly has a personality of it's own. I feel as a photographer I need to help each mom-to-be not only get beautiful photos but to make those photos an extension of her and her soon to be bundle of joy. I had the best time photographing these two and their emotion and love for each other jumps out of each picture, emotion is something that can't be photo-shopped..
