When Spokane received it’s first beautiful snowfall of the season I was secretly super excited! I say secretly because everyone around me usually curses the white stuff as it makes it difficult to commute to work, the grocery store and all other daily activities. But, I work from home, so I don’t really need to leave the house/studio! And on top of that, snow makes for pretty pictures! I had not met Rosa and Phil before their pregnancy shoot, but I got to know them during the session and learned they’re from a place that’s much colder and snowier than our dear Spokane. They’re from Chicago! Anyone want to complain to this couple about cold and snow? Haha Mother Nature must have known that snow would add a beautiful element to our baby bump session and was fitting for this couple. We started the session in the studio and captured exactly what Rosa expressed to me they were looking for, simple, beautiful photos. I added a few splashes of color and baby paraphernalia, but for the most part we focused on Phil and Rosa and her cute baby bump. Then it was a quick trip out side on the property where my studio is to shoot photos of Rosa and Phil wrapped up in a bright red blanket! I got the idea from an engagement session I saw and I was super happy that Rosa and Phil were on board to cuddle together in the blanket. They were so easy going in front of the camera and I hope they enjoy the memories they made that Saturday afternoon at my studio and in the snow and trees. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! And thank you for spending time with me and allowing me to capture this important time in your lives! Cheers!
