Maternity: Laura and Payden

This is Laura and Payden. Laura is due with their little girl on July 16, and they are both so excited for her to come into their home. They had just moved into our apartment complex before we moved. I gave them a card and said that I would be needing subjects for class if she would like some shots done. She later contacted me and asked if I still needed models, "YES!" was my reply, and here they are.

Laura really wanted some shots of her and Payden together, that was fun for both of them and definitely a new and exciting experience for me. At least doing maternity shots with the husband involved.

I did black and white for all of the shots because not only do they look great with the classic black and white, that's also what they wanted. I was happy to oblige.

A few shots of the mommy to be by herself.

I don't know why, but there's something about these last five images, that kind of leave me in awe and show how much love that this little family has and will be able to share.

This foot shot is just plain cute, it kind of brings in the whole barefoot and pregnant thing.

I love this one because it brings a feeling of strength and protection and that it takes parents, not a parent to bring and raise a child in this chaotic world.

This is my second favorite shot.

That Shot. I love this one by far. I think it has to do with both Mom and Dad's hands, the baby coming into life, the angle, I don't know but this is my favorite.


Payden and Laura best of luck with your baby girl, I had so much fun, and hope that you did as well. If I can offer one piece of advice for you Laura, sleep when the baby sleeps, forget the house for now and everything else, just sleep.
