Emily & Nick | Albert Lea Maternity Photographer

Emily heard about me from my girlfriend, who work together, because Emily had mentioned she needed to find a photographer to photograph her soon-to-be newborn son.  When Emily contacted me, I mentioned about doing a maternity session and she jumped at the chance.  With just a few short weeks to go until baby Connor made his appearance (which Emily was actually having contractions at my house the night before Connor came out), we got these.

I had a lot of fun shooting these guys.  Emily was glowing as a soon-to-be mom and Nick was, well, being Nick.  Henceforth the last photo.  I'm not sure if Nick was picking something out of her nose or putting something back though...

Friday Favorite - "Time Flies" | Albert Lea Maternity Photographer

Recently, my girlfriend, Michelle, moved two hours away from her home so that we can raise our son, Xander, together, and be happy as a family.  (Here's their Friday Favorite post.)  She got a job at the casino across the border and became friends with a girl by the name of Emily Malli.  Michelle mentioned to her that I was a photographer and Emily contacted me about doing a newborn shoot.  I told her that I would love to do a maternity shoot to gain some more experience.  She didn't hesitate one bit to jump at that opportunity.

There's a reason why I picked this photo to be a Friday Favorite.

Emily was due October 2nd, and like most expectant mother's, wanted her baby out NOW!  So Michelle and Emily went for a walk two days in a row.  Emily is now sitting in my living room, having contractions, and Michelle, having the heart of gold she has, is being supportive and telling her experience she just went through 4 months prior.  The father, Nick, is at work right now waiting impatiently for the call.  (Don't worry, the contractions aren't close enough to go to the hospital now.)

This is one of my favorite photos from Emily and Nick's session.  It really shows how much they love each other and how excited they are to start a family together.  And the black & white with the rustic building really adds a unique feel to this photo.

And by this time next week, you'll get to see baby Connor on here!  GO GO GADGET EXCITED PHOTOGRAPHER!!!
