Baby Baby

I just recently found out that our Piper is going to be born in about a week.  I’ve been wanting to do some maternity pictures, so this weekend it was time!  I was already doing Mya’s 5 year pictures at the Biltmore House, so I decided to just have my husband take some pictures for me while we were there.  I set up the pictures and the camera settings and told him exactly what to do and he did such a great job!  Doing these pictures was a major task.  We had to get River up early from his nap and he was not happy!  The gates close to go into the gardens really early so we had to get there early, take our dinner and all of our clothes.  We hung out for a while, had a picnic, changed in the car and then had to walk a ways to get to the spots that I wanted.  My sciatica was about to put me over the edge.  And swollen legs and feet don’t mix very well with cowboy boots!  I could barely get them on and back off!  By the time we got in the car to go home 4 hours later, I was ready to die, but I’m so glad that we got some pictures done because this is my last pregnancy.

The Final Session/Asheville Maternity Photographer

Tonight I did my final session until the fall.  I’m not quite sure how I ever thought I would be able to do sessions right up until my due date!  Laying on the ground to get good shots is one thing, but then I have to get up off of the ground.  lol  I loved everything about this session: the location, the fun clients, the overcast sky,….it was the perfect session!  It was fun doing a session with someone who was also out of breath walking up hills.  We had a ton of laughs at ourselves and each other.  I’m going to miss working, but I know that with 2 kids and a newborn, life as I know it is about to get all kinds of crazy!  So get ready to see lots of pictures of my own children for the next few months!  If you are interested in a fall session, I will probably be doing a few select sessions starting in October, so don’t wait to book a date.  They will go fast!

Time Flies/Asheville Baby and Family Photographer

This evening I did my second to last session before maternity leave.  I’m so happy that it was with this family!  I hadn’t seen their sweet baby girl since she was a newborn:  here and here.  She was still just as easy as she was 8 months ago.  We did their session at the Biltmore House, a place that I have been dying to do a session at.  And it was great because we were pretty much the only people around!  I had such a great evening with you guys.  I’m looking forward to seeing you guys again down the road!

Love her little fish face!  hehe
