I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing this beautiful mama-to-be back at the end of March. She was so much fun to work with and so easy to photograph. I have to admit – as much as I LOVE photographing this little ones, I am genuinely so happy to have so many mamas chose to spoil themselves with these sessions lately. One of my favorite things to do is connect with other mamas and help them to realize just how stunning they are!

We started Carly’s session with one of my favorite newer pieces of my collection – a black form fitting gown with the perfect little cutout to show off a growing belly. It fit her like a glove and allowed us to capture some gorgeous, editorial looks.

The close up black and white favorites will always be some of my favorites…

For her next looks, she chose one of my tulle one-shoulder gowns in a light blue. I love that this gown gave us a change from editorial glam to soft and feminine.

And for her final option, she chose a beautiful white beaded gown that we paired with a darker backdrop for a more dramatic look. I love how every look Carly chose was so different – allowing me to create a variety of options for her.
