I have been taking photographs for years, and have always loved taking pictures of anything…from people and family celebrations to nature and landscapes….but one thing I had never done and was just itching for the opportunity…a Maternity photo shoot!
Yesterday, I had two Firsts…..one was my very First Maternity Session. Heather, her husband Ryan, and their precious 2 year old son, Preston were wonderful and brave enough to be my very first participants. I was nervous, but had so much fun!
I liked being pregnant, but I have always loved other pregnant women, the glow they have and the thoughts of the little miracles happening every day inside of them, most of which they are unaware of. And then, after 9+ months, and a whole lot of emotions, gives us the greatest give of all…a new life. Heather was willing to try anything and an awesome sport about this being my first Maternity shoot. Here is one of my favorites from the day.
My other First was figuring out how to create a Storyboard, collage, or Triptyk photograph. My wonderful photography Mentor was kind enough to give me some pointers and I was thrilled to have the ability to capture the days shoot with a little bit of this. Here are two that I felt summarized our couple hours together.
So, as Firsts go, mine were just what I said….a little bit scary, but a whole lot rewarding!!
