Anxious, excited, overjoyed and overwhelmed. So many thoughts go through your mind when you are expecting, especially your first baby. I’ve experienced it first hand as a mom and also witnessed it as a maternity photographer in CT.

I love that we provide an experience for moms where they know we will take care of all the details for them. Professional hair and makeup, a huge client wardrobe collection, and preserving your images in albums and framed prints for you to enjoy…we really take care of it all.

Weather - Do NOT Stress!

But one thing clients may not realize we are tracking behind the scenes is the weather. Photographers often joke that we are also part-time meteorologists. The days and hours leading up to your session, I am constantly checking the radar for rain and wind conditions. And while I may not be able to control the weather, I always want to make sure the conditions are favorable.

Overcast skies and clouds are not a bad thing. In fact, I sometimes prefer it. However, rest assured that if it’s too dreary, the chance of rain is high, or winds exceed limits I’ve found comfortable for sessions, we will reschedule.

On this particular night, it was very cloudy. We had already rescheduled once before for rain and knew that baby could come any day, so we ultimately decided to go for it. I am so glad we did. These two were present and 100% focused on celebrating the love they have for their little boy as they await his arrival.

Had we waited for the “perfect” conditions, they may have missed out on these moments.
