PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
Chelsea & Dan were excited to announce their pregnancy as well as find how if they were having a boy or a girl! I love that they trusted me to capture their vision to shout to the world that there’s a little Lauer on the way!
Baby GIRL!
*as always if ever using any confetti poppers, make sure they are biodegradable. Please do your part in leaving no trace. Please and thank you.
MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
For Chelsea & Dan’s maternity session, we originally planned to utilize the rust vibes of a local state park that has quiet a few historical homes. Chelsea expressed wanting to have more of a rustic western feel to her session. However, Florida and the weather had other plans.
Within a day or two from their scheduled session, Hurricane Milton was looking to make a landfall somewhere on the Gulf Coast. As hurricane feeder bands were dumping rain on our area, we found solice at LionStar Studio in Fort Myers.
The brick wall gave us the rustic vibes Chelsea wanted. I brought a few dresses from my client closet to incorporate into the session. We took advantage of all the things that LionStar Studio has to offer from the brick wall, to the pull down backdrops to the rainbow wall in the bedroom setup. LOVE how this session turned out despite the pivot to an indoor location.
IN-HOME NEWBORN SESSION
Welcome Baby Madison! Madison’s newborn session went off without a hitch.
I like to tell parents that when booking their newborn session, we use the “date” we set as a bookmark. We have no say over when baby will be born. Always remarking that babies pick their own birthday. The goal is to stay as stress-free as possible!
Keeping with the theme of stress-free newborn sessions, having your session at home is just ::chef’s kiss:: the most stressfree way to photograph your new postpartum family. Prove me otherwise.
Chelsea & Dan’s home was filled with love and light and Christmas! Mind you, we photographed in November so we had to take advantage of the Christmas tree.
Always here for a sweet close up moment for the details!
Pearls for Madison Pearl
As always, bundle discounts are always offered! No need to wait for a special offer. I see the importance of capturing the whole season. Maternity & Newborn sessions are a client favorite, however, adding in an announcement session and/or Fresh 48 session is always welcomed!
Other clients like you see this advantage, so be sure to reach out for booking sooner rather than later as my schedule does fill up fast!
