It’s too bad she’s so sweet. Because it would be easy to hate her. I mean … look at her. She’s beautiful! She has an adoring husband and an adorable, devoted little pup. She has a fantastic little abode in Buckhead. She has cute clothes and great shoes. And Not One Single Stretchmark (!!!!) on that perfectly round belly after 8 months of pregnancy. It’s too bad she’s impossible to dislike!
Mandy called me just a couple of weeks ago. Right off the bat, I knew I’d like her. She was very vibrant and friendly on the phone. She recently moved back to the Atlanta area and found me in a web search of local photographers. I was so glad to be able to work her into my schedule so soon, because she is only a month away from her due date, and her little baby seems like he might be getting a bit impatient to meet the world. I’m thrilled we could create her maternity portraits just in the nick of time.
It’s been a few months since I did a maternity portrait session. It was so fun to be in the midst of all that anticipation again! I relive a lot of memories when I spend time with an expectant couple, remembering the dreaming, the planning, the wondering, and the waiting. I am forever in awe of the miracle of new life. It stirs my heart like nothing else!
Congratulations, you two. I can’t wait to meet your miraculous baby boy! Thank you for sharing this amazing time in your life with me.
















Kelly - Wow, Shannon! These are amazing! I love them all but the last one is perfect. She is a beautiful girl. I really like the one with their puppy too. Poor little dog won’t know what happened to his world soon.
Mandy - I LOVE them Shannon!!!!! What a great combination of artistic and candid shots!
Brett and I are so excited to see the rest!
Alana - I’ve always admired your style, and these are no different. GREAT!
Tiffany P - These are gorgeous, and I wish I could hate her, too, for being able to fit her feet in those shoes (the heels in the last pic) at almost full term. Mine were swollen so badly that I could barely fit my feet in flip flops near the end of my pregnancy!
