Lauren's Baby Bump {Brevard County Maternity Photographer}

When Lauren reached out to me she thought she may have been too late to get maternity photos since she was so far along. Fortunately I had an opening and she has a tiny baby bump. Most moms at 36 weeks feel miserable and there is no room for the baby. Lauren barely even looked like she was 30 weeks along. Lucky mama!

So we met at Paradise beach.....and so did the whole county. Seriously. We couldn't find parking spots and there were people everywhere. (Thank God for photoshop ;) ). It was so much fun working with this sweet couple. The thing I like most about maternity photos is that 90% of all men hate having their photos taken...am I right? However, during a maternity session, the focus is on their beautiful, glowing, pregnant wife that they actually enjoy this session. They love seeing their woman and find her extremely attractive and I get to capture that beauty.

I am so excited to meet their little girl soon and have her in the studio. So follow along to see her make her modeling debut!

Rainbow Baby Maternity Session Featured on Parents.com {brevard county photographer}

A few weeks ago I posted an image from the Rainbow Baby Maternity Session on Instagram. A writer for Parents.com saw the image and was working on a Rainbow Baby pregnancy announcement story and asked to feature the image. I was ecstatic to say the least. Not sure if it would come to anything, I sent over the info requested and this morning I woke up to seeing this story in my news feed!

I love being able to capture special moments for my clients. I especially love tailoring the session to you and your family and making it personal and fun. This session was all of that. So glad they not only get to meet their sweet baby girl soon, but that they also have these memories to cherish.

A beautiful Mom to be {brevard county photographer}

This was another past reconnecting session. Lori and I have known each other since elementary as well. I think we were able to date it back to 4th or 5th grade. I won't reveal the year! LOL Even though this is a small town it can be very huge. Lori stuck around after highschool for a while, just like I did. She and Nick, were friends and their relationship over time grew closer and closer. They finished their schooling, moved a few times, bought a house, and recently eloped! (I think elopements are exciting).

Shortly after their elopement the exciting news of a baby would steal their hearts. Lori is a literary coach in the Brevard County Schools. She was a teacher until recently taking this position. She has a love for books and children. She picked out the book worth the wait to document with her pregnancy. Even though Lori didn't struggle to get pregnant, she said, "life waited until the right moment for us to even think about it. Plus 9 months is a wait!" This book is from a series of books she has much success in reading to children who don't always enjoy reading but love this series. It is a very fitting book indeed.

Lori had never had professional pictures and was so excited to document her pregnancy, Nick like most guys did not want his picture taken. And that is ok. :) So we planned her session at Turkey Creek. She saw a recent on there and loved the atmosphere. Well, this place must not be the place for pregnancy photos. We had to reschedule 3 times due to rain!! It even rained before our session, but we braved it and had great photos. Beth Marie and her daughter Alex assisted with wind blowing and keeping Lori cool. They were a great set of extra hands. Lori choose my favorite gown to wear for her session and it looked so beautiful on her. She said she felt like a pregnant goddess during her session!! <3 (insert all the heart eyes) Despite the heat, the bugs, and being pregnant I loved knowing we made her feel like that. She looked amazing and is just glowing. So glad I could capture her beauty! I am excited to meet her sweet baby boy!

A rainbow of hope {brevard county maternity photographer}

I have known Nikki since elementary school. It is always neat to see how people from the past drift back into our lives. We lost touch after elementary for several reason, she did a home school stint and I went to West Shore for a year. So just life made us loose touch. Then we both ended up working for Suntrust Bank. She would meet her husband Jeff there too. Three years ago they were living in Dallas, TX and expecting their first child. They returned home for their shower and I had the privilege of capturing that time for them. They have since moved back to this area and Nikki gets to stay home with Greyson while Jeff is still in banking.

Their first pregnancy was a dream. They had no issues getting pregnant and no problems during pregnancy. It was picture perfect. Then they decided to add to their family. Only this time it would not be as easy as before. Nikki would be classified as having secondary infertility. This is when you are unable to get pregnant or carry a pregnancy to term after the birth or one or more children conceived without fertility treatments. This would become a very trying time for their family. Nikki ended up having two miscarriages, one of them being multiples.

Infertility is never easy for anyone, and is especially confusing when you don't have any answers as to why and when you've already had a perfect pregnancy before. They were hopeful and with doctors care they didn't give up. In a few weeks they will welcome their rainbow baby of hope into their arms. A rainbow baby is a baby that comes after a miscarry, still birth or infancy loss. The rainbow baby terms is the symbol of hope. After a storm a rainbow appears, so true after the storm of life, the baby is their rainbow of hope!

As Nikki and I began to plan her session we knew we wanted to do something to make it special. Being as this was a special pregnancy for them with so much excitement we incorporated the rainbow theme into their session. Nikki made the adorable headband and then we use some fun colored powder to throw in excitement. I love the way this entire session came out. I cannot wait to meet their sweet Layla and snuggle her. She is already one loved little girl!
