Kristy’s maternity session for her daughter, her very first baby, was my first professional portrait session. I was an attorney at the time, and photography had been my hobby since I was a teenager, but since my daughter was born I had been toying with the idea of starting a photography business. Kristy and I have been friends since we were in college together, so I was at her baby shower when she mentioned that she hadn’t had any maternity portraits taken. So I offered to shoot them, and their newborn portraits for them. And to my absolute delight, they said yes! They were the first family that trusted me to capture important memories for them, and I have been shooting their family portraits ever since. So when I heard that Kristy was expecting baby number three, I knew that I had to use their family for the film I was having made for my new website. It was such a special project for me and I just had to use my most special family for it.

The amazing filmmakers Kelly & Paul, from 618 Studios, followed me on Kristy’s maternity shoot, so you could get a little behind the scenes peek at a shoot with me. The film that they created is just beautiful. They are so incredibly talented and so much fun to work with! I couldn’t be happier with what they created for me!

You can see the film over on the new front page of the website, but I also included it down below at the end of this post. So first, enjoy Kristy’s gorgeous family maternity portraits.

Now watch the film!

Thank you so much Kristy, Andrew, Audrey, Anderson, and Baby Number Three, for your friendship, for always trusting in and support my dream, and for being a part of this film! Love you guys!

p.s. Did you catch the cameo by my talented hair & makeup artist Sara of Beauty Hairem?! Thank you Sara for being in the film and making both Kristy & I look beautiful, and for always making my clients feel wonderful and look amazing!
