OUTDOOR PREGNANCY PHOTOS

Atlanta Maternity Photographer | Christy & Chris

   Christy and I have known each other for a few years, but she's actually known my husband for much longer since they went to high school together!  Christy doesn't live in Atlanta, but in Charlotte, NC. She has followed my work on Instagram for a while and would tell me how sad she was that I didn't live closer for her photography needs. Luckily for Christy, my parents live in Charlotte, so I arrange to be in town every few months. I have a few locations that are my go to's for sessions. If you're in Charlotte and hoping for a maternity or family session in Charlotte rather than traveling to me in Atlanta, definitely contact me! 

   When Christy found out that I would be in Charlotte and had some availability to shoot her maternity session, she jumped at it. We kept our fingers crossed that it would all work out weather wise, and it turned out to be such a gorgeous evening with perfect light.

   Prior to her maternity session,  I asked which dresses she would be interested in from the wardrobe, and she told me to bring whatever I thought would work for her. I brought 5 dresses with me, and we ended up using 3 of them, all of which she looked absolutely gorgeous in. Her husband, Chris was such a sweetheart and is also a photographer as well. I enjoyed working with them both and their willingness to lay down in the field together at the very end after the sun had almost disappeared. When I asked "How do you feel about being on the ground?" they both said, "We'll do anything you ask us to do, because we know the results will be worth it!" High praise, and I don't take that kind of trust lightly. Clients who are willing to trust me and step out of the box just a little bit are my favorite kind.  

Here are just a few of my favorites from the fun evening in the field!
