HANNAH’S MATERNITY PHOTOS

04.20.11

I’ve been so anxious to share these pictures with you! Hannah as some of you know, is my younger sister and is pregnant with her second little one – a girl this time! When she had William, I was living in Arizona and wasn’t around for all the pregnancy excitement so this time I’m so glad I’m here! I get to help her with the baby’s room, share in the excitement, and just have sisterly bonding time! This is really something we were missing out on when I was living so far away and has made the move transition a lot easier. I have said it before but I really do mean that my sisters are my best friends!

I actually had to do some convincing in order for Hannah to let me take maternity photos but we discussed how it could be done in a classy, beautiful way and I think we accomplished that! We took these in her bedroom at home which has beautiful natural colors and light. I’d love to hear what you all think! I can’t wait til the little Fluffnut comes! She’s due May 11th so it could be anytime now!

Ver’well done… super good job. I’m impressed… I continue to love your post production style and how you’ve made it your own. I love that you shot all of these on location in the bedroom.. great use of the mirror in that one shot and of the window light to do the silo shot. rock on girl… wish you were still 2nd shooting with me on a regular basis.ReplyCancel

Wow! Kelly, these are absolutely stunning! The first five or so look like something that would be in a magazine. Like Travis said – You’re post production is spot on and I love it. Kudos!ReplyCancel
oneidaApril 20, 2011 - 3:10 pm
these are so beautiful kelly! i especially love the faded silhouette photo. your sister looks like a model who is pregnant and loving it, not a pregnant woman trying to get her picture taken. i don’t know if that makes sense, but anyway, love these!ReplyCancel

I absolutely adore these photos. My cousin’s wife is pregnant and had some photos taken and she hated them so I sent her these.

Kelly – I totally saw one of Hannah’s Maternity Photo being used on FB and I’m not sure if it was with your permission or Hannah’s you might want to check that out. The FB ID posting it was Pictures and Pictures Only. it’s the silhouette photo of her holding her belly and it talks about Motherhood. anyhow, just struck me odd that your sisters session was on FB and they give no credit to you whatsoever..ReplyCancel

ElenaOctober 28, 2011 - 6:15 pm
Beautiful photos! Unfortunately I found your photos through one of cousin’s ex girlfriends. I saw the FB post that Lily C is mentioning and I couldn’t believe it was the same photo she had posted on her FB page as her own. She actually copied several of your photos and put her watermark on them and posted them on FB as her own. After googling a few images I found a link to your blog. I unfriended her as soon as I found out. I really hate thieves and liars. You should think about watermarking your photos because they are absolutely beautiful.ReplyCancel

I came across them while searching for some ideas for my own maternity shoot! Also, just like everyone else I love the wardrobe choices! Effortless! I was just dying to get my own hands on that gorgeous knit top for my shoot too! Today (1/29/13) I found something similar at Kohls just 3/4 sleeve instead of cap sleeve (regular women’s department) I can post more details if anyone is interested … it is a great alternative that I will be testing out in my shoot this weekend!! Thanks for the great ideas!!! and Congrats to Hannah and her bundle of joy! xoxoReplyCancel

I think that you’re sister Hannah is a living DOLL!!!!!Her beauty is nothing short of INTOXICATING,and if I look too long the next thing you know tears will be rolling down my cheeks!!!!!She’s just that beautiful Kelly.While I love each and every picture,my two favorites are the one where she has her hair up and she’s looking down maybe at her belly.The other one is where she’s wearing glasses and reading a book.However,I must admit that although I love her gorgeous face,I would absolutely love to gaze upon that pregnant belly of hers,for it looks to be so amazingly round and beautiful!!!!!Thank you for so generously sharing Hannah’s beauty with all of us and may GOD forever bless the both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyCancel

[…] Proper photo credit First of all, I am a studio photographer and my studio, well, it doesn’t look like this meticulously styled bedroom. And most of my clients don’t show up styled like this either. […]ReplyCancel

I love this photo shoot so much! It inspired me for my best friend’s pregnancy pictures.. most of these photoshoots tend to be flashy or trying to be too glam and forget about the essence of this time.. It’s truly gorgeous <3ReplyCancel

I was looking for fresh ideas for a shoot. I am not interested in a bare belly, crazy flowing gown (while the hair is still) and I have to say, you have nailed it here!!! These are lovely and classical. A beautiful testament of the joy of motherhood, in every stage. Thank you for posting them. What a joy to share these moments with your sister.ReplyCancel

I first saw these on Pinterest like everyone else. I had never seen the whole collection though until now. Makes me want to take maternity pictures because of how beautifully you captured her. Doesn’t hurt either at how absolutely gorgeous she is:)

Now I wish I had a silhouette picture of me when I was pregnant.

Thanks for sharing all of these lovely photos with everyone.
