When Jenny emailed me about doing a reveal session with her husband's plane in the background, I was all in! He works with planes for a living and has his own plane which made for the perfect pregnancy reveal announcement. Baby Calvert is due in January, and these two couldn't be more excited to be parents!

I always knew I wanted to continue shooting maternity, newborns, and families alongside wedding photography. There is so much joy in capturing an image of a child exactly where they are at and freezing time in that moment. And it is even more fun when I am able to continue taking pictures of the same families year after year!

I have never done a maternity shoot where the mom gives birth to the baby the day after the shoot!! I couldn't believe it when I saw that baby girl Peyton was born! We were so glad we were able to get the shoot in before she entered the world.
