We’ve all seen the trend but there is something so satisfying about capturing someone barefoot in their backyard surrounded by laundry. Maybe because it reminds me of simpler times, before social media binges or the sounds of birds and insects in the morning, when the grass is wet and the fog burning off into the afternoon sun but these images really spoke to me. I’ve had the pleasure of capturing Ash three times now, her engagement, her wedding, and branding photos for her amazing ceramics company. But this session, celebrating the next journey of her life, as they move out of their house and welcome a new baby boy, I felt honored. One of the things I love about Ash is her trust in me and my creative vision, luckily we had both found photos that resonated with us and I was able to mold them together to create something that spoke to both of us. As she moved through the fabric, breathed in the fresh air, I did my best to capture this moment through my lens. 

These intimate, Raleigh lifestyle maternity sessions are becoming the new standard and a favorite of mine as I go through life with my clients. If you’re thinking of maternity photography in Raleigh or Durham I would love to chat about my services, as well as my newborn/maternity bundles.
