Iowa City Baby Photographer | McKayla’s Christmas Shoot!

You may remember this little nugget (or likely not) from when she was in her momma’s belly.

I was SOOO excited to meet her, and of course like most things in my life, it turned into a photo shoot.  Be on the look out for:

1. the MOST priceless facial expressions!

2. the major ballerina potential in this little sugar plum fairy!

Crystal + Mike Maternity | Carolyn Ann Photography

Mike and Crystal are good friends of Alex and me.  Alex was the best man in their wedding, Mike will be a groomsman in ours. I am excited to meet the little nugget they will be having this August!! In the meanwhile, I am super happy that I had the chance to photograph their maternity session and capture this special time in their lives. We shot at the Mentor Lagoons which has the most amazing forest and beach.  It was the perfect sunset light for photos 🙂ohio-maternity-session

We found this lovely path of flowers and then moved on to the beach.  Crystal was such a trooper- so willing to hike or climb over anything when 7 months pregnant!ohio-maternity-session

I had the amazing privilege of photographing the S family.  This mom and dad are blessed with two beautiful little girls.

We had some play time, family time, and some peek-a-boo time 🙂

I think these pictures speak for themselves.
