This post is timely, although a little late, since as of yesterday the Stevenson family of three (+dog) that I recently photographed officially became four. Congratulations! I’m so happy for them and while I don’t know if I’ll get the chance to photograph their little girl, let me share these photos from our family/maternity session.
We were determined to make the session happen. After meeting up after the wedding I shot in Rome, NY we drove to our planned location and it immediately started to downpour. We waited it out for around 15 minutes until the rain died down, although it was still a challenge to find the right spot for pictures. After a few tries we found our way to a quite overlook where we could avoid the glances and stares of passerby’s – no one wants a crowd. So finally with no rain, no crowd, and a nice setting this is what I captured, starting with some classic boy + dog images…
this just looks so classic to me! their dog is hilarious and obviously very good with kids. 
the Stevensons obviously already have one very cute son, so I can’t wait to see what their daughter looks like! 
Diane looks fabulous! Even though it took me a little longer to finish these photos… they weren’t taken that long ago. I want to look this good 4 weeks before having a baby! 
I’m glad we were able to meet for this session and I wonder what my chances are at photographing their newborn… too bad I don’t live closer! Either way next time I’ll plan better weather :)
