Candice & Doug | Maternity Session

March 24, 2009

On Saturday I had a maternity session with Candice and Doug (and their beagle, Hunter) in Bietigheim-Bissingen where Doug plays hockey for the Steelers…it was a long day for me but so worth it!  They were great to work with and did everything I asked..not to mention they are SO cute together and just gorgeous!  Candice has a great, contagious laugh which made for a really fun session which I think shows in the photos. I had a really hard time picking my favorite shots, so here are a bunch of them…

It was great meeting you guys! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Jaana & Austin

January 21, 2009

On Monday I had my first session in 2009, and what a great session it was! I had SUCH a good time with Jaana & Austin…they were lots of fun, laid back and willing to try anything I asked! And they were so cute together… I never had to ask for smiles because they just came naturally when they looked at each other.  This session really helped me find a style for maternity that I love…romantic, moody, classy and a touch of sexy. I had a really hard time picking a few shots for the sneak peak, but here are a few of my faves:

The Bahens: The photos are amazing! you did a great job. Jaana, you look awesome, Austin too

Attention Mommies to be…

October 20, 2008

One of the areas of portraiture I am missing in my portfolio is Maternity, so I am looking for 2 mommies to be, who would be interested in a FREE photo session! It would be a regular session, lasting about 2 hrs, and can be held on-location or in your home (or a combination of both!).  The only requirements are that you are in your 28th-34th week at the time of the session and that you sign a model release that will allow me to use your photos in my portfolio, and for advertising purposes. I will also require a 25€ retainer fee (to reserve your date), which will be credited towards prints or any other products I offer. Prints from the session will be available for the current sale prices (25% off listed prices). This is first come, first serve, so act fast!
