San Antonio Pregnancy Photographer | Maternity Couture Gowns

NILMDTS Volunteers and Gorgeous Maternity Models

“I don’t know who you’ll be but I know you’ll be my everything” – unknown

There is nothing more beautiful than an expecting mother. Pregnancy is one of our favorite things to photograph. As most of you know, I volunteer for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS). Unfortunately this month has hit San Antonio a little harder than usual. With only a handful of volunteers in San Antonio, you can imagine how this can take a toll on us. It doesn’t help that I sprained my ankle pretty bad a few months ago and haven’t been able to take as many sessions as I would normally but I am thankful to be on such an amazing team of volunteers who will at times stop what they are doing- even if it means leaving a Mother’s Day gathering to help another mother in need. This is not something that we are required to do, it’s something that calls to us in our heart. Last year, I made a stop on the way to my sons birthday party to help a family who was in need of our services. It’s not a second thought- it’s a call we get and we go. I am especially thankful for all the supportive families out there- including mine, for understanding that sometimes our world has to pause for a bit to help another family. Because we had an unusual amount of calls this month and because doing what we love can sometimes take an emotional toll on us, I was so happy that two of our amazing volunteers decided to have a fun maternity model call with tons of amazing couture gowns last week and just get together and shoot some gorgeous expecting mamas just for fun as friends.

…that’s what little girls are made of. Isn’t this expecting mama stunning??? We could have photographed her all day. We had so much fun shooting Marlynne and Robert’s maternity session and can’t wait to meet their sweet little princess in the next few months.

Baptism at San Fernando Cathedral|San Antonio, TX.

Beautiful Baby Baptism at the San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio,TX.

I cannot begin to tell you how absolutely stunning the San Fernando Cathedral in downtown San Antonio is. There’s just something so serene about it, it looks huge from the outside but when you walk in its actually smaller than one would think. It’s quite intimate and just an absolutely perfect place to have a baby’s baptism. If you have never visited this beautiful landmark, it’s definitely a must. We were so honored to be asked to capture on of the most important milestone in baby Michae’s life. How adorable is this little guy? Look at those little cheeks of his! He was all smiles the entire time and was just loving the camera. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect morning to capture his baptism.

Mcnay Maternity Portrait Session|San Antonio, TX.

Maternity Portraits at the McNay Art Museum

There is something so miraculous about preganacy. Our bodies actually creating another life. Maternity portraits are some of my very favorite sessions to photograph. We love capturing this special moment in expectant parents lives, and the excitement, anticipation, and pure love that shows in their eyes. And who can resist the adorable pregnancy baby bump?!? Somedays you feel like the day that your baby will arrive is never going to get here but then, before you know it, your pregnancy is over and you are holding your new sweet tiny baby.

A Garden Tea Party Cake Smash|San Antonio, TX.

Cake smashes are fun! It’s even more fun when there is enough time to plan one and make it perfect! I have been envisioning this session for a very long time and I wanted to make it amazing! Its crazy because I could never describe exactly what I envisioned to anyone- not even to Sam, he just said let me know what you need me to help you with for this one. It was just a bunch of random ideas and items that popped up in my thoughts. Of course my imaginary shopping cart on Pinterest has a lot to do with this as well- and I must admit it is my vice. I’d like to say I’m so artistic and creative to have thought up this idea myself- but who am I kidding, I have the need to be surrounded by artistic creatives and I yearn for their company because they are my inspiration! From graphic designers to event planners, Etsy shop owners to to florists and from the sweet woman at Thrift Town to the guy at the Starbucks drive through (who “donated” some pallets)- they all inspire me! #communityovercompetition [Read more…] about A Garden Tea Party Cake Smash|San Antonio, TX.
