This maternity photo session, taken in Jones State Forest was delightful from start to finish. I was giddy about trying out a new location and oh.my.word…it was glorious! We had perfect weather and light to play with. Now let me just say…this location might not work as well in warmer months because mosquitoes and um…”critters”, but for December in The Woodlands, it was perfect!

It was wonderful to be able to do this session with Evelyn and Josh because we had an entire hour to chat, engage and just relax and get to know each other….which was great since I was going to be photographing the birth of their little boy! I always make it a point to schedule some time to get to know a birth client before the big day. It’s important that everyone is comfortable and at ease instead of having to worry about introductions, etc the day of the birth! It also gave us more time to discuss details, and expectations, etc, which I have no doubt put us all more at ease.

I knew shortly after meeting this couple that their love for each other was just on another level. They radiated it. I mean, normally I coach couples through a little bit more, but they were just so naturally reaching for each other and seriously could not take their eyes off of one another. My camera soaked it up.

I told her after the session it was going to be hard to narrow the photos down because I had 500 favorites! Seriously…it was that amazing of a session!
