Megan has been planning her maternity/newborn photos even before she was pregnant :) 

I was so honored she chose me to be her photographer!! She set photos up early,  like in the first trimester (ha!)

 Her session date finally arrived and it was UGLY. Cold, rainy and gloomy. I typically LOVE me some backlit sunlight so I offered to reschedule, BUT pregnancies are tricky and we just couldn't coordinate a date before her due date/possible induction. We decided to just go for it! I brought an umbrella then trucked her and her hubby a little ways up 
"A" mountain. 

What a trooper!! cold, pregnant, in the rain.. and hiking!! 

We had tons of laughs, and as you can see her session came out perfect. The clouds acted as a giant soft box giving us just the  most amazing light making this red dress really pop. The drizzle "messed up" the hair she just had done but I LOVE this natural slightly messy/wavy look! 

Their baby boy recently made his arrival, we are waiting for him to get out of NICU for his newborn photo session. 

It is a very stressful time, going home and leaving baby in the hospital. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers <3
