Jessica & Chris | Maternity Shoot ~ Part 1



While I was in Harrisburg shooting Carla & Adam's wedding this weekend, I was super lucky to be able to also catch up with my wonderful friend, Jessica, and her new husband, Chris (you may remember them from an earlier post on their wedding at Penn State this spring). Turns out that in addition to the great tans, sombreros, and maracas they brought home from their honeymoon in Mexico (okay, I made up the sombrero and maraca part since I didn't actually grill them on what they brought home), they also brought home one more incredible souvenir from their amazing trip!

I am so happy for these two. Jessica is going to be the most wonderful, creative, and compassionate mom, and Chris will be the sweetest dad. While I was out visiting them in their new house, we took a few minutes to do their first maternity shoot -- so exciting! I like to do maternity photos in a series of 2-3 shoots, because that beautiful big belly you usually see in maternity portraits only really comes at the end, and I like capturing the baby's growth and the new parents' emotions throughout the entire pregnancy. Plus, by the time they get to the end, everyone's pretty comfortable in front of the camera. (For those interested in learning more about our maternity portraits, contact us here!)

They are both so gorgeous... I can't wait to see this beautiful baby!








Of course, we grabbed a few of Jess by herself, too...





Their cutie-pie cat Oliver supervised the shoot from a safe distance on his chair.












I just love this shot.





Thanks for a great weekend, guys! I could not be happier for you both and can't wait to shoot part 2 this fall....
