Back in 2009 I had the opportunity to capture the newness of sweet Delaney. And, back in 2006 (I believe;), we captured Delaney's mommy and daddy's wedding. So, here we are today capturing yet another precious milestone for the Prater family...the coming birth of their newest addition, Ashton.
We are so thankful to have so many of our clients come back to us time and time again. As I post these sessions, it is humbling to not only see how far we've come but to realize that we are able to capture so many precious moments...something we never take for granted.
Well, we had such an unseasonably warm day for their session...we were all sweating by the end-and this took place in March(!!). Anyway, it was such a treat to see how much Delaney has grown and to spend some time with Kevin and Carly. I can't wait to capture their newest addition in just a few, short months. Hugs to you guys!

What happens when you take photos of an expecting mom with her busy one under the age of 2? Absolute sweetness. Many of you know about the friendship that is shared between my dearest friend Shelly and I. She, too, is a photographer...which is how this friendship began...but, over the years we have moved from being photographers who happen to be friends--to--friends who happen to be photographers. It is so much more than just helping each other out in the business world, but counting on each other in the good times and the bad times. She is that friend to me...and I am so very blessed to have her in my life. Love you, friend.
Going back to the first sentence of this post...let's just say that we laughed a lot. Shelly just wanted a few photos documenting this time and lil Molly gave us a workout...to say the least. We sang, walked, had some Mel time, ate a sucker, played little games...everything...just for a few photos of the two (3) of them together. I'm still not sure how some of these moments were captured. ;) Love them.
Stay tuned...a few more photos to come of the welcoming of little Harry. xo!

MELODY! These are BEYOND precious! Shelly must be over the moon in love with them! She looks so radiant pregnant with her boy, and don't even get me started on that little girl of hers—the most beautiful babe I've ever seen! :)

There is always a debate on whether or not a mommy-to-be should do maternity pictures. Believe me, I've been there, and know that there are points in a pregnancy where you just want to feel normal again. The thought of being in front of the camera is the last thing you want to do. Then there is the other side of the debate...capturing this moment when your body is performing quite the miracle. A miracle that is still amazing every time you watch your body transform and feel those little movements from within. A moment of time that you want to freeze and remember...even though you may not feel like your normal self.
Well, Clint and Emily had quite the plan with their maternity session. They are going to use a number of these pictures to display in their soon-to-be little girl's nursery. They will also be using them to remember this time that the two of them shared before their family began. Such a wonderful idea and I love the result. Oh, and Emily is striking in all of these...absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to meet your precious girl! Hugs to you both!

STUNNING pics, Mel! Best of luck to Emily & Clint with their beautiful family!
