Sunset Maternity Session and a Little Announcement

Capturing "the belly" when you are pregnant with your first baby can be such a special way to prepare in those last few weeks of nesting. Deciding on the outfits, the colors, the location, and even planning the look and theme so that the images will look perfect inside your home are all part of the overall maternity session experience. I like to involve my clients in the process of planning as much as possible, so when Sara contacted me about doing her maternity session and had questions about what to wear, I got really excited. After a few emails back and forth, we had the session and location planned, and the weather (and sunlight!) could not have been more perfect.

Sara even brought along a couple of special items to incorporate into the photos, making these images extra-special and nursery wall-worthy. An ultrasound printout and a wooden letter 'M' for Maddox were great elements to work into some of the images and ended up being among my personal favorites.

Sara was brave enough to follow along with me into some tall grass (as long as we didn't see any snakes, we were good!) and with the golden sunlight going down behind the tree line, all the elements came together for some perfect portraits of just Sara and her sweet little baby bump.

Just a few weeks later, little Maddox made his arrival, and his mom sent me an email telling me how over the moon she is in love with her little boy. Congratulations again, and I cannot wait to meet him!

Now, for a little announcement regarding Sweet Events. For a few months now, I've been juggling my business under two separate names - Sweet Events for portraits, families, babies and maternity, and Ever After for engagements, beauty sessions, and weddings. I have decided that I am going to combine all my work under one name, Ever After Photography, for ease and simplicity. My current website, www.everafterweddingsvermont.com will soon change over to www.everaftervermont.com. Follow me on Facebook - www.facebook.com/sweeteventsphotography - to keep posted on when the big switch is happening. Happy Friday, friends!
