I met Youa almost a year ago when she came to Grand Rapids to observe a portrait session (and she happened to contribute some great images to the client’s collection too!). I really enjoyed meeting her, and we stayed connected through Facebook throughout the past several months. Then, a couple of months ago, she sent me a message asking if I would take her maternity photos! I was so excited that she would choose me to document this part of her and her husband’s life. She and Will drove to Grand Rapids and met up with me downtown. A cold wind was blowing in the city, but I’m so glad we were able to take some cute photos in an urban setting. Afterward, we headed to a park not far away. I really wanted to showcase the winter wonderland that we were fortunate to have that day, and a serene, glowing landscape just seemed perfectly suited to a maternity session. Youa is 35 weeks along, and she looks fabulous… and she is as sweet as can be. I enjoyed meeting her husband Will, too. He’s strong and calm, with a good sense of humor. I know they will make great parents, and I’m very excited to hear the news when their baby makes her arrival. I’m also excited to find out what they end up naming her… it’s still up for debate!
Youa and Will, I hope the next few weeks go by smoothly and quickly, although as I say that, I also want to you to enjoy this time: time as a couple, as well the experience of pregnancy. It’s pretty amazing. Best wishes, and thank you again for making the trip from Lansing for this session, I’m so glad you did! Here are some of my favorites from our session:
I think this one is my favorite:
