Ashley’s Maternity Shoot

Ashley is my friend, neighbor and a fellow yoga instructor.  We did these photos in her yard and it turned out to be the perfect setting.  

Ashley loves horses and is still riding.  This is totally her element.

This is my favorite.  It is so tender and sweet!

Aaaand, what would an evening session with me be without a silhouette shot?

Ashley, thanks for being so patient while I worked on these!

My first maternity shoot: Jonna

This pregnant belly belongs to my friend, Jonna.  Let me tell you, Jonna is amazing.  She is due in a month and is still doing wheels in yoga class.  THAT is impressive.  This is also her second baby, gender still to be determined.  

We did the pictures out at her house on the farm and I loved the setting.  It totally represents her life.  We had waited and waited for a wind-free evening and when we thought we had one, we jumped at the chance.  Of course, by the time I hung up the phone with her and then got out to her house, the wind had started up again.  I also wasn’t quite sure what time of day was best.  It turns out that the later shots were the best.

I had to throw this shot in, just for fun.  I giggle every time I look at it.
