Olivia's Maternity Photos at Governor's Island

Olivia + Jim are expecting their little one later this month

And Olivia wanted to capture the maternity photos before their son arrives! You might remember Olivia from such weddings as the one pictured here (one of my favorite weddings of all time!) but who you probably haven’t met before is Bumpy, Olvia + Jim’s Cairn terrier fur child, who joined us for some Bumpy + The Bump maternity photos midway through our session. We got to explore all over Governor’s Island for these photos, and what an absolutely gorgeous location for maternity portraits! Enjoy these sweet, once-in-a-lifetime images of Olivia and The Bump, and congrats to Olivia + Jim on expanding their little family!

Erin's Maternity Portraits

Erin + Matt (and their cat Sam) are expecting!

You might remember Erin + Matt from such weddings as this one. But it turns out, life didn’t stop after they got married (why does everyone think it does?) No, it just got cooler, and they’re now expecting a little kiddo in February!

Help me wish these two a big expectant congrats, and stay tuned for pictures of their kiddo once he or she decides to make an appearance early next year!

Lily + Aaron: A Maternity Session in the Arboretum

There’s something really humbling about being able to help couples celebrate multiple important events in their lives together.

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph Lily + Aaron’s engagement portraits and their wedding day, and more recently we were able to take some photos to celebrate the upcoming birth of their 1st child! I’m so excited for them (and also can’t wait to meet the new addition).

Despite the snow that we had for their maternity session, I think their wedding day was actually a couple degrees colder, but both days were beautiful and you all know how much I love the Arboretum as a backdrop for photos!

Enjoy the pics of these two parents-to-be, and keep an eye out for photos of their little family addition in the Spring!
