Waiting for Jack…

Emilie and Eric were expecting.  I say “were”, because baby Jack decided to arrive a few days early and he is already here.  Yes, he came before I could blog the maternity session.  Early bird gets the worm

This was my very first studio session and to be honest, I was completely nervous.  Amy, came by the studio before the session and helped me set things up, but then I was on my own and it felt like I had picked up the camera for the very first time all over again.  Eric and Emilie were patient and cooperative.  They put my mind at ease so I credit them for these great shots.  She is absolutely stunning on an every day basis but with child, she has a glow that nothing could fade.  This couple was such a pleasure to work with and I’m hoping to meet baby Jack very soon

Here are a few of my favorites:

After the studio session, we went to the famous flower field for a few shots.  Funny how all this worked out…I left the studio feeling overwhelmed and confused and arrived at the flower field feeling a sense of relief and safety.  You may remember my mental break down in blog post from last year.  Ironic that just a year ago the flower field was a place where I felt lost and wondered what I was even doing with a camera.  And today it is my comfort zone.  I’m not perfect at caputuring natural light, but the sun and I have a “working relationship”.  For the past year, the sun has been my “studio lights” and now I’m learning how to shoot with the real thing.  All I can say when I look at that field and I look at these pictures is….God is SO GOOD!  I know this story is minor in the eyes of many, but I’m amazed by how God put me in that field scared and a year later he brought me back there feeling safe.  Mmmmm…..all I can say is “Thank You”.

Here are a few of my favorites from their outdoor session:

Hoping today you find yourself in a safe place, starring at the beauty around you, knowing that God is so good.
