Maternity Portrait Collection | West Hartford, Connecticut

As the seasons here in Connecticut were beginning to change, I enjoyed a special afternoon with these incredible first-time expecting parents, Mike and Elise, a stunning mama to-be!  We started our session indoors which was so relaxed and perfect for them to enjoy a few private moments together in the comfort of their home before heading outdoors to photograph them under the gorgeous sunset sky.

There is something so special about photographing expecting parents and documenting all the joyful emotions around this memorable time. Who will she look like?  What will her little personality be like?  All the unimaginable newness of life soon to be cradled in your two hands.

Photographing families as they evolve and change is what my heart speaks to, it resonates deep within my soul.  Children deserve to see how it all came to be, how they arrived, to be able to connect the dots of life, to understand their family history and their story.  I picture Mike and Elise sitting down years from now, looking through these photographs together and showing their first born what life was like as they awaited with great anticipation and excitement in the months leading up to meeting and holding her for the very first time.  

Mike and Elise- Congratulations on welcoming your baby girl!  Many blessings always to your beautiful family.   

Here are a few of my favorites from their maternity session.
