I often hear mothers-to-be say they don’t feel lovely enough to be photographed during this time. That they feel uncomfortable, swollen, achy and just not pretty. Each time I hear it, I want to say, “I wish you could see what we all see. You are beautiful. And honestly, just stand there and you are already perfectly stunning.”
They have quickly become one of my favorite couples to photograph, “the Annapolis Peddicords” as we now lovingly refer to Tara and Ben. Blog reading friends might remember this couple from the NYC portraits we did last year, and behind the scenes Tara has become one of my dearest friends and favorite people. She is a talented wedding photographer based in Maryland and took the trek up to New Jersey to have her maternity portraits taken in both Long Beach Island and in my residential studio in Barnegat in this special double portrait session.
I’m so excited for Tara and Ben to become parents. These two are such amazing people, I can only imagine the amazing parents they will be.
Resting in His goodness and grace, with the sweetest of gifts. A new chapter awaits. Excited to share more of these portraits for this growing family and honored to be able to continue to document this next chapter in their lives.
Special thanks to Nicole Grifo for her makeup artistry for both portrait locations.
There are only a few beach sessions left for this summer! If you want portraits like these, be sure to reach out ASAP!
