kate and travis maternity session

Earlier in July Erik and I had one of the most fun shoots- can you say maternity shoot on a farm on a late summer afternoon??

Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey buy

I sure can, and I WILL!

Last year Erik photographed Kate and Travis’ wedding and when they got pregnant he was their go-to guy for their pre-baby session. And why wouldn’t he be? Erik is so incredibly talented- I just love how he sees life. Not only that- he is such a calming presence during a shoot, I love working along side his quiet genius and am always just blown away with what he produces.

Here is my interpretation of our tag-team style maternity session!

Now, one of the things I kind of insist on is the timing of our shoots: late afternoon or bust, baby! This gives you the opportunity to catch the changing light from later afternoon, to low and rich to dusk to sunset, to evening. Talk about natural light variety!

See what I’m saying?
