Outdoor Maternity | What I See Photography

Well this by far has to be my all time favorite Maternity Session ever.  Sometimes it just all comes together in such a perfect way, beautiful Mommy-to-be (inside and out), amazing light, good location, and great connection.

And this Mommy-to-be was pregnant with twins, so very exciting!!

This was the last Maternity Session I shot before I left and I was very sad not to have been able to have shot the twins Newborn Session, but Jillian Kirby at LucyLimeStudios did a fantastic job, you can check out the Newborn Session here.

So I will leave you with this one last image, not sure if I love the first one or the last one the most, both are so incredibly beautiful in different ways.

Thank you so much to the entire Baker family, you are definitely one brilliant family with so much strength and kindness.  Enjoy every moment with each other!  So many little cousins running around (well maybe rolling around right now).

Baby Fun | What I See Photography

I am so lucky to get to meet all of the most amazing new parents and babies:)  This little man was so chubby and healthy and lovely, yummy!  And his parents were so sweet, calm, brilliant and happy...what a great combination!

I adore chubby little baby hands:)

And of course modeling is very exhausting work, so we had to allow time for a little power nap;)  Can somebody please tell me why it is always the boys that are born with the most incredible lashes???  Not fair!

Aren't they just so delicious when they are asleep?  You just want to scoop them up and snuggle them forever and ever:)

And here is one of the happy family, fantastic!!  I bet they can't hold him like that anymore, ha:)

Thank you for coming in and letting me capture this fleeting time:)  And thank you so very much for all of your patience!!  You are wonderful people and I'm glad to have met you.

Crescent Park Fun | What I See Photography

Here is one of my favorite July sessions, with such a fun and amazing family.  It seemed like this session would never happen, they were given the Session as a gift and wanted Fall photos, but after a couple of reschedules, an hours drive, and getting lost, it finally all came together (for a wonderful Summer Session).  Anyways, I hope they will agree it was well worth the wait:)  We captured some amazing moments!!!

I'm not sure which family portrait I like better (above or below), maybe I just love them both:)

And talk about gorgeous children, honestly can they be anymore beautiful???

And last, but not least some Mom & Dad fun time:)  Enjoy!!!

Thank you "G" family for your amazing grace and patience!!  Good things are coming your way:)

Raw Beauty | What I See Photography

This is my niece "M", she is one of the most beautiful girls you will ever meet (inside and out).  I love the rawness of these images, so sweet and innocent, just on the edge of becoming an adult.  We were sitting at my sister-in-laws relaxing with a cup of tea when I looked in the back garden and said "wow, the light is amazing!" let's go out and do a mini-session.  SOOOO glad I seized the moment!!!

I think she looks like a  model from the seventies here, I wish I looked this amazing while sitting around drinking cups of tea;)

Honestly, the light was just incredible and lucky me to have such a gorgeous model!

Such an important time in their lives to capture, so pure.  Full of hope and determination...oh and let's not forget fun:)  She looks so like her Mom in the image below, we definitely know where she gets her looks;)

And I just adore this last shot, LOVE it!!

Great job working the camera "M", so glad to be your Auntie!!

A Walk in the Park | What I See Photography

Well this move to England has not exactly been a walk in the park, my mother-in-law has had three strokes in the same number of months, but we are getting settled.  

There is a great place to go for walks not far from us called the Aquadrome and I think it is so incredibly beautiful there!  It reminds me of Crescent Park in a lot of ways, big trees, big pond, beautiful light.  Here are a few from our Sunday afternoon.

There was no shortage of crunchy leaves, I love crunchy leaves!!

I can't believe how much the kids have grown-up since we have been here, they are so amazing...and naughty at the same time;)

I would say the best part of this move for us is the quality time with family.  Our kids LOVE spending time with their cousins (they have 14 cousins here and one on the way!).  My mother-in-law has 16 grandchildren, I can't even imagine!!  Here are some of the beautiful cousins we see every week...

This cousin little "O" is like the energizer bunny, always on the run, I was lucky to catch this shot of her and she whizzed past me.

Cousin "A" who is so very bright, the thinker of the group and a great big sister.

And little "T" who is beautiful, wild and a cheeky little monkey.  We call her the twin of "F", my little one.

And last but not least my two darlings, wanting to just play, not have their photos taken;)

Enjoy every moment!!

I'll be posting some of my July sessions that got put on the back burner with this big move.  There were so many gorgeous, mind melting, beautiful images captured in July....so stay tuned:)

And again thank you, thank you to all of my amazing clients, your support and patience and well wishes were overwhelming!!!
