april + anthony {maternity}

It's been a while since I have done a maternity session, so I was pretty excited to meet up with April + Anthony last weekend. Their baby boy will be joining them early in the New Year and they were eager to document this stage of the pregnancy in case little buddy made an early arrival.

There were a few challenging elements to this shoot: the weather (about -12 with windchill), and for me personally, indoor shooting. I am not a studio gal, but because of the temperature and our hopes of getting some more cozy, intimate shots, we did end this session in my bedroom (no studio, but some decent natural light). I was actually pretty happy with how everything turned out, mind you, I was working with a beautiful, glowing mama -to-be, and a daddy who was pretty obviously in love with his lady and her growing bump.

April + Anthony ~ You guys were amazing. I know lots of other people who would not have braved that chilly day so gracefully. April - you are beautiful. Honestly. Excited to meet your little man next year....
