The holidays are always a time that I look forward to spending with family – especially when family is 1,500 miles away!  This year for Thanksgiving, some of our family flew in from Oklahoma, and that included our sister, Becca, who just happened to be around 5 months pregnant. I had not had a chance to see her since our wedding a few months earlier, so it was a very exciting time!

During the trip, we decided it would be fun to have an impromptu maternity shoot on the oceanfront.  This was the first time I ever attempted to take photos for someone else (selfies, I had down), so I was extremely nervous about what the end product would look like.  The moment we stepped out on to the beach, I knew the models were at least going to be good!  Becca is an incredible model, and I have to admit, she was amazing at posing.  With such natural beauty, how could the photos not be awesome?

So, here they are… the products of my first photoshoot EVER.  I can’t believe how beautiful they are – it’s been seven months and I’m still in love with them! Thank you so much, Becca and William, for sharing such a special time with me.  I’m so honored to have captured these images for you.
