This spring, I have a number of shoots right in my own back yard! The beautiful orchard I live on is in full bloom and the ultimate backdrop for photos! The first session was a maternity/family shoot with Erin, her three kids and Brandon. This is to be baby number four for Erin and Brandon's first little one! I've known Brandon for a few years so when he asked me if I would interested in photographing him and Erin, I was excited to work with another pregnant mama! I've said it before and I will say it again, there is something just so beautiful and special about a pregnant woman, and Erin was no exception. She is gorgeous regardless, but add that perfect baby bump and it's magic! 

“I had people imply I was selfish for going back to school, I’ve had others say I’d never get a job, or that a degree was useless. But along the way I had supporters! I truly found myself at college. Today, I am in business meetings, committees, and an active participant in the community. I always dreamt of getting my degree, and this is one of my proudest accomplishments.”

I am so inspired and incredibly proud of this beautiful young woman, and I am so happy I was able to be a small part in this exciting time for her and her family.
