After my Portraits for Progress post I figured I better put my money where my mouth is and post a maternity portrait of myself.  This is a combined effort between me and my wonderful wedding second-shooter (my husband, Scott). 

I hope this also encourages other women who aren’t a perfect size 6 (or even 8 or 10!) to include themselves in their family portraits or for those of you who are pregnant to consider getting your own maternity portraits taken.

On another note, I’ve enjoyed meeting so many families in the Worcester and Central Massachusetts area and being able to capture so many memories for my local clients.  If you have also enjoyed our relationship, I would love for you to vote for me in Worcester Living Magazine’s Best of Worcester 2008, which honors the best businesses of Central Massachusetts.

I look forward to creating fabulous portraits with both new and returning clients in the future!

I truly enjoyed working with B. and her husband this week.  I aimed to capture mom’s sunny disposition and the sunny season for her little one’s birth, and thought bright and breezy would fit the bill.  I very much look forward to meeting their baby for his newborn session!

I’m working on some images for one of my upcoming yoga studio displays and had the pleasure of photographing J., who was five days shy of her due date at our session! 
Absolutely glowing:


and can you believe she can still do this (or do this at all – great balance):

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing H. and B. yesterday.  They were great subjects: willing to try any of my goofy suggestions and silly themselves.  Their excitement for the birth of their baby couldn’t help but spill over into my images.


I’m looking forward to shooting their newborn once he/she makes his/her arrival!  H. & B. took advantage of my maternity/newborn special: the normal session fee covers both sessions!
