Lea’s Maternity Session

Posted on June 8, 2011

“Pregnant women! They had that weird frisson, an aura of magic that combined awkwardly with an earthy sense of duty. Mundane, because they were nothing unique on the suburban streets; ethereal because their attention was ever somewhere else. Whatever you said was trivial. And they had that preciousness which they imposed wherever they went, compelling attention, constantly reminding you that they carried the future inside, its contours already drawn, but veiled, private, an inner secret.”
– Ruth Morgan

Oh Lea, you are everything that personifies pregnancy.  Even if I didn’t notice your blossoming belly, new life is clearly written all over your face.  You are radiant, beautiful woman!

There is something to be said about the time of day photos are taken.  Had we been at this exact spot even two hours sooner we would not have been able to capture the same ambiance.  The late day light filtered through the trees is beyond glorious.  Couple that with one lovely lady at a time in her life when a most precious miracle resides in her womb,  you are most definitely guaranteed fabulous images.   Need I say more!

Of course, we had to include Spartacus in our session!

The light . . . oh my goodness!

Cool shadows!

We headed down to the water and along the way were lots of Lady Slippers.

We practiced silhouettes.  I love those trees in the above image.  It makes me think of Africa.

Did I not say the light was amazing!  I love the movement in this image.

Thank you, Lea!  What a session, eh!!  Can’t wait to finish the rest!
