Abby and Chris : The Bump

We werent making any sense; it was so early that our usual coffee spot, Emerald Coast Coffee wasnt even open yet. So, as Megan and I drove to the mecca of the caffeine world, Starbucks! We were pretty quiet because it seemed without caffeine, every word that came out of our mouth was mumbling gibberish. Slowly, as I sipped my venti soy pumpkin spice latte with, wait for it, two extra shots, we made our way back to the world of the living. Why were we awake so early? You see, we were chasing after the beautiful morning light.

Usually, my clients arent open to sunrise shoots and normally, the sheer willpower it takes to get me out of bed in the morning doesnt usually happen until after that illusive light has come and gone. So when Abby and Chris were open to a morning shoot, I was giddy.

Abby and Chris came to us after their friends, Kim and Jordan booked us for their maternity session. Gotta love referals! Abby and Chris and their adorable little baby bump were perfect to work with. They posed, they played, they laughed, they were awake {hey, that's a big one at 7:30 in the morning for a photographer!} and we loved them for it.

With the cool morning air, the amazing early morning sunlight filtering through the trees, I shot and Megan watched, taking mental notes and pushing her lens and her camera. Abby, Chris, thank you so much for being willing to get out of bed early and have two caffeine filled girls play paparazzi with you and your bump. I cant wait to hear news of your little one!

Kim and Jordan: The Bump

Every now and again it happens, you get that client that rocks your socks off {yes, I just went there}. The client that follows zillions of blogs, looks at zillions of pictures and is crazy insane in the creative department. Every now and again, you dont have to work nearly as hard to get the picture. Every now and again, the client blows you away. Kim and her baby bump were definitely that client. I would begin to describe what I wanted her and her husband to do and she'd smile and sweetly say "oh, I love that shot! I know what you mean" and she'd take over from there.

While I would love to be able to claim Kim and Jordan for any photos they may ever, ever need, I must sadly say that they are moving...or have moved rather. Actually, they're probably on their first leg of an incredibly long car ride to Washington state as we speak. So Kim, while you and your hubby build your life in Washington and prepare for that beautiful little one, I thank you for allowing me into your family if even just for a small window of time. Enjoy the memories and dont freeze in Washington!
