Casey & Tony are having a baby: Northern Virginia Maternity Photographer

April 19, 2012

I first had the pleasure of meeting Casey via the internet.  She contacted me about her sister Emma’s wedding.  This is a little unusual as typically the bride and groom are the ones that contact me and I thought it was so nice of her to do the research on wedding photographers for her sister.  And fortunately for me, I get to photograph her sister’s wedding this September right up the road!

At our first meeting Casey was glowing!  She was obviously pregnant and just beautiful.  I knew that a maternity shoot with her would be so fun.  I have never done maternity photography before, but I’ve always wanted to try it and I have to say it was so much fun!  Just look at how Casey and Tony are so happy at this soon to be 3rd member of their family.  Casey showed up to the session with all of these clothes and props and it was a blast.  It was only an hour long session and we got a ton of pics.   I love it!!  And click on the video at the end of the post to see a nice smattering from the session.

P.S. Leave them some love in the comments below.  If they get 20 comments, they’ll win a session mini album!

Yesterday I e-mailed Casey and it went something like this…”I finished the 100+ pics last night and when I woke up in the a.m. I realized I didn’t like the tint of the grass…”  It’s something so silly probably, but it’s just how I see it sometimes so the top version shows the old color of the grass (out of the camera, Nikon version) and the bottom version is the color I like for this session.  I realized I wanted a look closer to film and film renders green colors a little differently.  I processed these using VSCO fuji 160.  I love the fuji film conversion!  It’s my fave.

    Being picky paid off!!!! I agree … the first photo is awesome, the second is brilliant!!!

    Seriously, I wish I was ever that cute while being pregnant. I envy cute pregnant women because I was not one of them!

    The one with the little shoes is darling! So simply and classy!

    The photos are all awesome and Casey’s inside beauty shows on the outside with her Momma-to-be glow. I can see that both Tony and Casey are very much in love and looking forward to their new addition to the family. The photo of the shoes is one of my favorites, because it speaks so loudly of what is to come. Thanks for sharing! I hope that Christine can come by to see these sometime. Lots of love and praying for God’s timing for a smooth delivery and healthy baby. Liz <3
