I jump at any and every chance I have to capture the special times in the lives of those close to me. Right now, this season of life is all about... having babies. So naturally, I get to do a lot of maternity sessions. And I really, really love it. Last week, I hung out with my friends, The Tyner family, and took a few family portraits before the three become four. You may look at these photos and (understandably) think they are a beautiful family now, but just wait until that gorgeous baby girl shows up! :)

One of my absolute favorite things about doing photography is the people I get to meet. I'm an extroverted stay-at-home mom, so when I get the chance to get out of the house and converse with adults, you know it's a good day! ;) Michael and I went to high school together, but just recently connected again when he asked me to take his wife, Cayce's, maternity photos. It was so great to meet her and photograph this adorable little (baby boy) bump! They were a fantastic and easy-going couple to work with, the type that are "hard to take a bad photo" of. You'd never know that this shoot was almost rained out! I am so glad it didn't and we were able to capture this beautiful moment in their lives. They are going to be fantastic parents!

I have been loving all the maternity sessions I've been blessed to be a part of lately! A woman carrying a baby is one of the most beautiful things to me. A couple weeks ago, my friends Caitlin and Darryl asked me to document this special time in their lives. I have to be honest, I was a little nervous driving to the location in the POURING rain. This photography thing is quite reliant on the weather. Thankfully, it cleared up right away! We walked around downtown and a small park in The Villages at Sumter Landing. Both of these were new locations for me, so it was fun to explore! Caitlin is just the most radiant mother-to-be. She was so willing to do just about anything, including hopping over a fence, to get the shot! Her and Darryl have such laid back, fun personalities - my job was easy. I am so looking forward to them becoming parents to this sweet baby girl in a few weeks. There is no doubt in my mind that she is going to be quite the beauty!
