I hope you’re sitting down, because this Dogwood Park + indoor lifestyle maternity session is going to knock your pants off. Janne, Kerry, little Sienna, and fur baby Fiji are welcoming another little one into their lives soon, and wanted to capture their family before it expands. We captured the outdoor portion of this session at Dogwood Park in Rockville, which I love because there’s lots of trees and plenty of space to breathe. I think I counted three or four Little League games in the works when we arrived there early Saturday morning…but all I can see in these photographs are happiness, joy, and peace. Janne initially emailed me with ideas on the types of photos she wanted from the shoot, and I think the entire family’s outfits helped pull off her vision flawlessly. Afterwards, we headed back to home base, where I was able to catch some indoor family snuggle shots in bed.
Before the session, Janne warned me that Sienna is a little shy, and Fiji might get excited by other dogs. Nothing strikes more fear in the heart of a family photographer than the combination of cranky toddlers + rambunctious dogs. To make sure I was up to the task, I brought the hubs Darren along as an assistant. Lo and behold, Kerry and Darren know each other from college and were soon chit chatting away! Smallest of small worlds. As for Sienna and Fiji? My two gals were rockstars- they sat, laughed, and giggled on command. We’ve got some models in the making.
I truly adore how you have captured this sweet family in their Rockville Maternity Session! you have captured all their sweetness as they anticipate the arrival of their new little one!
