It felt like it’s been forever since I have photographed anything!! Let alone a baby bump!! Round bellies and glowing mommas! One of my favorite journeys to photograph!!
Our sweet new neighbors are expecting their own little bundle of joy! Karen and Michael, along with Karen’s two daughters Kelsie and MacKenzie, moved to our street at the end of summer 2020. It wasn’t long before our crews met up and have been the best of FRIENDS ever since!!
Karen and Michael met at her childhood best friends wedding in September of 2018, and just a few short months later Karen was packing her crew up and was heading South to start a their new journey with Michael.
After a successful first attempt with IVF, Saylor should be making her debut any time now!! It has not been an easy journey with months of bed rest, pandemic, and moving. I remember moving earlier with Preslie and I was always exhausted!!! Luckily their girls are super stoked to big HELPFUL sisters!!
This sweet momma was having some contractions during the session!!! That belly was so tight!! Honestly thought her water was so going to break!!!! Karen was hoping for the extra exercise would move the process along, it did not!!! Now, the goal is to make it for the Sunday Minis in town. Michael and the girls were so in love with Mommy’s baby bump photos they requested some baby bump photos, so they scheduled a mini session!! Kelsie is into photography so I am very excited to show her a few techniques.
After about twenty minutes of asking her to bend this way and that way and two solid contraction breaks, we were both happy. And called it a day!!! A lovely perk of having a professional photographer down the street, can just send a text!!! I am ready to go!! With maybe a Colby in tow! Ha!
Enjoy!!! Afternoon bright sun, definitely not your ideal lighting, I was able to make it work using a few trees to block the harsh sun!!
Thank you for following along the journey with me!! Hope you enjoy your day!!
