This past weekend I got to be a part of my friend Rashaan and his beautiful wife, Tia’s, maternity session!  I’m always honored when people choose me to be involved in one of the most special moments in their lives.  And it means even more when your clients are your friends and you’re excited for this next chapter in their lives.

I had been in contact with Tia for several weeks prior to the shoot and I was excited to finally get a chance to meet her.  From the moment she stepped out of the car to begin our session she was glowing!  There’s just something about a woman carrying a child that gives off a certain radiance.  I immediately fell in love with her gown from Sew Trendy Accessories.  I suggest that all moms-to-be take a look at their website for any upcoming maternity sessions that you may have.  Their gowns are stunning and will help you to look your very best on your session day!  And who doesn’t want to look like a goddess during their session?

Although we shot early in the morning, the SC weather was muggy, but that didn’t stop us.  We managed to get a lot of wonderful shots of the couple, Tia on her own (looking regal and elegant), a few shots of Avery’s adorable booties and Simon!  Simon was the star of the show!  He didn’t want to cooperate with us for long (for a dog in a park there’s way too much action for him to sit still for more than 30 seconds) but when he did we managed to get some wonderful shots.    I wish Tia and Rashaan nothing but the best for their delivery and upcoming bundle of joy, Avery.  I’m excited for this new journey in their lives and can’t wait to see her!
