April + Chris {Maternity}

Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing April and Chris' maternity session.  Three years ago, I photographed their beautiful wedding at A Touch of Class in Cedar Rapids, though honestly, it doesn't seem possible that it's been three years.  I'm so excited for them as they prepare to welcome their new, little baby boy.  

Mary Beth {Maternity}

I love maternity sessions.  There is nothing more beautiful than the glow of a mommy to be.  Whether it's her first or fifth child, there is still a radiance about her. 

Recently, in the midst of this weather's flip flop between spring and winter, we had the perfect snow for portraits and Mary Beth seized the moment to capture her maternity portraits.  The ground was completely clear from snow the evening before, but by the time noon rolled around the next day a beautiful clean powder of snow had covered the ground.  The air was filled with gorgeous fluffy flakes of snow.  It was truly the perfect setting for this winter loving mommy to be!

Julie {Maternity}

 A little over a year ago, I photographed the wedding of Brian and Julie.  I was super excited when I received an email from them telling me they were expecting their first little one and wanted to come in for a maternity session.  I love maternity sessions.  Theirs was no exception.  We had a lot of fun with the flag and dog tags they brought with in honor of Brian's military service.  I think my favorite shot is the one featured above though.  Love!

Liz & Jeremiah {Parents to Be}

At the end of August, Liz and Jeremiah were once again in my studio.  The last time they had been in was January of 2010 for their engagement session.  I photographed their September 2010 wedding, and hadn't had the opportunity to see them since.  I was thrilled when I received an email from Liz saying they are expecting their first little one in September.
