One thing that always intrigues me when I’m working is FIERCE women. Women who have energy that radiates in such a way that it affects the way that YOU feel. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about…those people in your life that you look forward to seeing because their personality just lights up the room? That’s Abby. She is a ray of a sunshine and she is fierce in her power as a Mama. She’s the kind of woman that doesn’t apologize for who she is and that’s the kind of woman I admire the most.
This is Abby in all her fierceness…
I still get goosebumps looking at this photo. It is definitely one of my most favorite maternity photos I think I’ve ever taken. But we didn’t keep it all serious. We captured Abby’s sunshiney side as well! Check it out…
Ok, so one more serious. But look how beautiful!
Ok, so a few more serious. But not posting them was out of the question. I’m so in love with this photoshoot. The lighting and the snow was just perfect. There’s nothing I love more than getting creative with the light. Light is what makes a photograph all that it is. Light has the power to create emotion and a response. Whenever I’m working with up and coming photographers I always tell them light is everything. If you want to be a good photographer, understand light. That is the foundation for all that you need if you want to express yourself and tell visual stories in a way that provokes intrigue.
Abby was so much fun to work with. I generally do more wedding photography than anything but I’m slowly gravitating to a healthy balance between wedding photography and portrait photography. I would LOVE to do more maternity photography. Being a Mom myself, I know how important it is to capture these moments because pregnancy is so special and so temporary.
