I LOVE maternity sessions (have I mentioned that before??!!) And I love when clients let me take the reins and run with my creative (and sometimes off the wall!) ideas (especially when we go on location). Leah holds a special place in my heart because she is a Child Life Specialist, which is what I was for 10 years before starting my photography business. In case you don’t know what a Child Life Specilaist is (don’t worry- most people don’t..), we are the ones who help hospitalized children with the psychosocial aspects of hospitalization- through play and developmentally appropriate teachings. It is an extremely rewarding career and takes a special kind of person. My hat’s off to Leah! Anyway (sorry…I got off on a tangent..shocking I know!). We had a blast- and Leah let me “play” with some new ideas that I wanted to try. I love this image- so super sexy! We were not too sure what this graffiti said, but we would like to think it said “LOVE”. ha! Don’t mind me laying on the ground- I have a plan! And this was it! I know Leah was laughing at me, but I have been determined to master “sun flare” in some of my images. It actually takes alot of practice to get it right. I find myself walking around looking for light and light patterns all the time (I know- I need to get a life!). I saw this when I was going for a walk today and knew I had to bring Leah back to this spot. The light rocked! Love that sun, (I promise this was not something I did in post processing)…. And last but not least (actually, this is one of my favorites!). I have an obsession with cool chairs. So when I saw this ricketedy old thing in an alley, I had to use it! Never mind the splinters in Leah’s backside! CONGRATS Leah (and Ricky)! Cannot wait to meet Jocelyn! Thanks for letting me capture this special time for you!

Andi,
I had such a blast being your “model.” It certainly wasn’t a role I am familiar playing but you made it very easy and fun. I love the images that you captured. My husband and I are very impressed. You made me look better than I could have imagined. I can’t wait to be in front of your lens again!
