Maternity Monday: Spring Edition! | Washington, DC Photographer

Happy Monday to youuuu!

I am on a real countdown this week... to what? To the official start of Spring next week!! 🎉

Although the weather is still a bit chilly, I'm not letting that stop me from celebrating the upcoming return of greenery, warmer weather, longer days, and generally happier moods lol. Nice weather just FEELS good!

So how's this countdown going to work? I'll be blogging every day until the start of Spring! 😱 I know... I know! I barely keep up with blogging as it is, but I'm challenging myself and you get to benefit lol.

To kick things off, I'm starting with the mamas- it is Maternity Monday after all :) And this is a special Spring edition, recapping a few Spring maternity sessions from the past couple years!

I hope you enjoyed these sweet maternity photos! Stay close because I'm blogging ALL WEEK in celebration of the return of Spring next week!

Last, but certainly not least, for today is the Afeku family! Can I tell you how easy they were to photograph? Their love for one another was a true joy to document 💙

Bessie is a fellow photographer, and I have to be honest when I tell you there's always a bit more anxiety than normal when another photographer trusts you with taking their photos, let alone documenting something as important and exciting as a pregnancy! Once we met though, I knew the session was going to be a great, and it was!

It is one of my favorite things to photograph families with a more natural style and truly just capture them in a warm and loving manner. I was able to do just that with the Afeku family :)

Check out some of my favorites from their session:

Next up for today? Ron & Imani!

Adrian and I shot Ron and Imani's wedding back in 2012 (post originally formatted for my old blog), so I was very happy when Imani reached out to schedule a maternity session!

As the day for their session neared, the forecast called for it be a rainy and stormy day :/ So we planned to shoot at the National Portrait Gallery. The portrait gallery ended up being THE perfect location for them, so I am actually thankful to the rain for moving me in that direction lol.

Just as I remember from their wedding day, Ron and Imani are such a warm and loving couple and it was an honor to document this new chapter of their journey 💛

Here are some of my faves from their session!

Happy (Maternity) Monday to you! 

I've been meaning to blog these sessions for weeks now and today I finally sat down and got it done! 2017 so far, has been the year of bellies :) I have had more maternity sessions since the start of 2017 than I have in all of my years taking photos! So today I want to share some of these gorgeous photos with you!

First up? Sharon & Clarence! We got together on what ended up being a very mild February day and had a sweet mini maternity session. It was an absolute joy capturing their love for one another 💕

Here are some of my faves from their session!
