CS Maternity, originally uploaded by BloomingBellies.

I would like to thank C and M for the wonderful maternity session yesterday. I had such a great time, and I am beyond thrilled with the way the photos turned out! I’m surprised they’re actually in focus since you all had me laughing most of the time. :-D

I know you really wanted black & white photos, but I just loved the way this photo looks in color. Who knew maternity sessions could turn into high fashion photo shoots? ;-)

Here are a few of my favorites in black & white:

Thanks again for an awesome session, and best of luck with labor & delivery! I can’t wait to meet little N. :-)

There are so many fun things I want to put together for my clients this year, but things have been a little crazy these last couple of weeks. Don’t worry…I’m still going to put together some very cool photo packages for you all, and I think you’re going to be really excited about them!

In the meantime, though, I wanted to offer you guys this 2008 calendar as a free download for your desktop wallpaper. I photographed this stargazer lily at the Atlanta Botanical Garden years ago, and it is still one of my favorite photographs. I hope you all enjoy it, too. :-)

December was a crazy month for me, and I didn’t realize until today that I forgot to blog about a couple of wonderful holiday sessions I had! When you see these cutie pies you’ll wonder how on earth I could have forgotten to post the photos. They were just so adorable.

I was so happy to see a couple of my previous maternity clients with their babies! And this little one just melted my heart. I only wish she hadn’t gotten so sleepy at the end so we could have done more!

Later that same afternoon I got to meet baby L for the first time. He was already two months old, but he was still just so very tiny. And squirmy! I think he had someplace else he wanted to be because every time we put him down he tried to squirm away. It was just too cute!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from that session:

I know it’s a little late, but I’d like to say happy holidays again to everyone! I really do hope 2008 is a wonderful year for you all. :)
