Kelly got in touch with me about a month ago to book a maternity session in her seventh month of pregnancy.  It is recommended that you book your maternity photography shoot at 7 or 8 months into your pregnancy in order to be able to showcase that beautiful baby bump.  When I arrived at her home, we discussed the details that she wanted to include in her shoot as well as location options in her home.  Since I usually try to keep things as simple as possible when I am on location, I will try to utilize as much natural light as I possibly can if it is available.  It was a bit overcast on the day of her shoot and her home did not have much natural light but it was adequate enough lighting for some of the shots.  I did have to use some flash on some of them but I used it as subtly as I could in order to maintain a natural looking feel.

You will have to agree that she is simply a beautiful mommy to be.    I loved the beautiful flower headpiece it made her look so innocent.

I love when husbands are involved in the shoot.   I absolutely loved the contrast of his tattooed arms against her white maternity gown here.

It is simply amazing what a small window and some sheer curtains can do.  She is just glowing in these photos.
