I know Craigslist sometimes gets a bad rap but without it I would have never met Ann and for that I am forever grateful! Whether we are chatting about life, photography or communicating only in #hashtags she has become a great friend over the last year! I was able to photograph Ann + Patrick’s three year anniversary last year at the beach and then was asked again to take Ann’s maternity photos for their first child Bennett – who was just delivered TODAY!! CONGRATULATIONS ANN & PATRICK can’t wait to meet him ♥

I remember when I first found out Ann was pregnant. I had just booked two weddings in the fall and I was anxious to work with her again (#teambaaa!!) so I messaged her right away to see if she was available. I don’t quite remember what her exact response was but it was something along the lines of that is going to be kind of difficult when I’m 8 months pregnant! I was bummed that we wouldn’t be teaming up in the fall but I was more pumped that her and Patrick were expecting their first child. You two are going to make such fantastic parents! Thanks so much for letting me take your maternity photos and for sticking it out at the beginning of the session while we waited on a little summer rain to blow through.

Here are some of my favorites from the maternity session:
