This week, I was delightfully surprised to find out that one of my previous wedding clients was now pregnant. Mia is actually the bride that I featured on the home page of my Web site in 2006 and is currently on all my business cards. She is currently 5 weeks away from delivering, which makes it the perfect time to have Maternity Portraits photographed. For this type of session, I chose my favorite location known as the Cotton Mill in McKinney, Texas.

This historical structure offers a unique enviroment with an abundance of natural lighting through it’s warehouse style windows.

I strive to keep all expecting mothers comfortable during a photo shoot. Mama does not have to be self conscience about any other parts of her body, because I primarily focus on the tummy.

…Speaking of tummies, this is the happy father, Mathew, showing off his sympathy weight gain. Since it takes two in this equation, I always ask the father-to-be to participate. This also helps mama to feel more comfortable during the photo session.

I have photographed several beautiful models in this particular corridor of the Cotton Mill. Still nothing compares to the beauty of a radiant pregnant woman.

As a final tribute to their expecting newborn and marriage, I composed this last shot at the end of their photo session.

Here you can see both hands with their wedding rings placed on mama’s tummy. In a sense, all three are present in this image. Congratulations Mia & Mathew! I can’t wait to see your newborn baby soon! God Bless your and your family.

I recently had the privilege to photograph a High School Senior during a model shoot in her Prom dress. This gave me the idea to offer another option in my High School Senior Portrait Packages. Next school year, I will offer a special portrait session specifically designed for the Home-Coming, Prom, & Graduations seasons. This will especially be an attractive offer to the young ladies who want a more glamorous image of themselves in their Prom dress.

These images were shot on location at Farmers Branch Historical Park as a part of the Gulf State Camera Club Council Convention held in Plano.

This church building was a great spot that offered a unique contrast of the black dress against the white wall.

While shooting at this location, I was also instructing a group of out-of-town photographers during this model shoot.

Yana’s Prom was going to be 2 weeks away from the date of this photo shoot. Thus, I really wanted to capture a special image of her in the dress that would flatter her figure and her sparkling personality.

Good Luck Yana with your Prom and upcoming Graduations!
