These fall maternity photos were VERY entertaining to capture, thanks to this cute soon-to-be BIG sister! I figured out pretty quickly, that she is a great little story teller. Little Miss also had a few funny jokes to tell us. It’s always nice to have someone help to make SURE that mom and dad are wearing their best smiles for their photo session. ;-) Of course they did great! Dad was super patient with all of us, and mom had that gorgeous Prego-Glow. We chose a location in Anchorage that offered a good amount of variety. As a result, we had the opportunity to adventure around looking for various great photo spots. That was great for their photo session, AND moving around helped us to keep warm! Double whammy!! The fall colors were so pretty, and there were SO many picturesque locations. Thank GOODness, because it really meant a lot to this beautiful Momma to capture her cute belly, her cute family, and the beautiful Alaska fall all together for her Maternity photo session. Now I’m really eager to get her album designed, so she can show off her Maternity session!

A Stunning Fireweed Maternity Session
MaternityAnyone who lives in Alaska knows that once fireweed takes over, it doesn’t stick around long. And they also know that as soon as that happens, summer is justtt about over. Sad, but true. I’m a strong believer that one must seize the moment. I absolutely could not let the opportunity to take stunning photos in the fireweed quickly pass me by! This maternity session was my personal project for the month of August. Or you could say, my passion! I HAD to make this session happen, and everything about it makes my heart go pitter patter on SO many levels!! It was perfect timing for this beautiful momma-to-be to have maternity photos taken, and after some spur of the moment resourceful researching, we stumbled on THIS incredible location. When we arrived, I quickly scoped out the area, crafted a little fireweed head piece, and she absolutely ROCKED the session! Her entire second outfit was styled by the lovely ladies at Butterfly (maternity) Boutique on Dimond in Anchorage, and complimented the gorgeous fireweed perfectly. We didn’t have any issues with Mosquitos this time, but there was a random bumble bee fluttering around in a few of the photos! The sun tried to peer out behind the clouds and put a kink in our perfectly overcast afternoon, but regardless, I couldn’t be more pleased. Hopefully, you guys will see these images on the walls and website of Butterfly Boutique, and in this gorgeous momma’s home! This session confirms my NEED for a monthly personal photo project. I will seize the moment, pursue passion, and push my creative limits. In fact, I’m already brainstorming/debating possibilities for the next few months. Whatever I decide on, I can assure you there will be an overload of cuteness! If you would like to be a part of the exclusive email list that gets casting call information on any of my upcoming projects, be sure to check out THIS blog post from a couple months ago when you get a moment. You never know, you or someone you know, could be the perfect addition to complete one of the next Savvy Images photo projects! If not, that’s cool. Just be sure to do whatever makes your heart sing! ;-)
The DeMartino Family • Houston Maternity Photographer
Kids, MaternityI had the pleasure of photographing this fun family back at the beginning of 2012!! The exciting thing is, two years later they have really good news to share… Not only did they just finish building their dream home in Pearland, TX, but they are also going to be welcoming a handsome little boy named Austin to their family soon!! Even though dad was an allergy sickened super trooper for this session, he is definitely PUMPED about that (being the only male in their beautiful new home)! Haha. Their beautiful twin girls have grown up SO much since their last family session with Savvy Images. Not too awe fully long ago, I can remember when their momma contacted me telling me that they were going to start trying to have ONE more kiddo to complete their perfect little family. And when they did, that I had to be the person to take their maternity and newborn photos! That is an ABsolutely amazing thing to hear, but it was right about the time we started considering our move to Alaska. Yikes! Once we did make our move, and she called me with her exciting news, we weren’t sure we’d be able to coordinate our schedules so I could take their maternity photos. =( At one point, I even recommended another great photographer to her in Houston. BUT, towards the end of my surprise trip home to Texas for Easter, we managed to make it happen!! Because she really wanted to include their fur baby, Brutus in the session, we got to take some photos in and of their new home. Their mom even made a special exception and let the girls jump on her and dad’s bed. We had to have some fun! Then we finished up their session at a nearby park. This hot momma and I have been friends since college, and her loyalty and support means the world to me. She loves and believes in my photography SO much, that she’s willing to do just about whatever she can to book a session with Savvy Images! Once Austin arrives, it’s clear that he is going to be surrounded by family with endless amounts of love, AND two awesome big sisters. I wonder if they’ve realized that in a few years mom and dad will even have two beautiful little built in baby sitters! When he’s being a handful for them, they’ll have to break out these photos as a reminder of how excited they were to meet their baby brother! ;-)
