Camille called the studio phone to inquire about booking a maternity session at the park. She explained that her husband's job required him to travel a lot and that she had very limited availability to schedule a session. Fortunately, the date that we had available worked for them!
Camille came in for a styling appointment, which is available to all booked clients. We will meet for about twenty minutes whether you want to borrow from the studio wardrobe or have me look over your clothing options and help you pull everything together. If you're not borrowing from the wardrobe for your maternity session, you're more than welcome to coordinate things via email or right before your session, but I much prefer to meet my clients and get to know them in advance. You'll be more comfortable too if this is the first time you're working with me! :)
Camille decided on two off the shoulder dresses, and we talked about what her husband should wear. She later emailed me to ask where one of the dresses was from because she loved it so much that she wanted to buy one for her upcoming baby shower.
The day before her session, the weather forecast looked absolutely horrible. I asked her if she'd like to change her session due to the heavy thunderstorms that were forecasted. Her response was that they didn't have any other availability, and they would take the risk, and we would get what we could get. When I arrived at the studio, Camille was sitting in the hair and makeup chair being worked on by Megan and a huge, ugly storm was brewing outside. Camille and her husband, Daniel didn't seem to be too concerned. They explained that when they had their engagement session, it also stormed and they ran out in between storms. Daniel also informed me that the radar indicated that the storm would move through pretty quickly, so we all crossed our fingers and waited. BOY, did it storm. The rain was insane... but just as Daniel had predicted, it blew through and we hurried outdoors to the park location, and had a truly magical session. The rain had a side benefit that none of us had thought about...it cooled the temperature off by quite a bit. Atlanta in the month of July is no joke, so it was definitely appreciated by us all!
Here are a few of my favorites from their maternity session. Doesn't Daniel have some of the best hair ever? We joked that he was channeling Clark Kent. I loved working with this sweet couple, and they went on to have the most adorable little baby boy last fall!
