A few years ago I had the honor of shooting Rachel and Alfred’s wedding at Callanwolde.  They were such a great couple and so thoughtful to each other.  

Now fast forward to a couple of months ago and Rachel contacted me and let me know that she is pregnant! I was so excited for them.  I usually don’t do maternity photoshoots but if you were a couple of mine I would do it because it is so cool to see these couples in the next stage of their lives.  After chatting with Rachel we decided to move the date to about 1 month before she was due.

Well the date of the photo shoot was this Sunday and I was so excited.  We met at the  Vickery Creek Trail Bridge in Roswell, GA.  It is a cute park with lots of different long tails for both amateur  and advanced runners.  It is also where Alfred loves to go on runs so he knew the trails well.  We met in the parking lot and they both looked great.  Rachel had that pregnant glow about her.  Alfred was so proud and I know he is going to be an awesome dad!  We started talking and took some time to catch up.  I did Rachel’s sister’s wedding and her sister Rebecca is very excited to be an aunt! They told me that they were going to have a boy and that he is the first grandchild on Alfred’s side and the first male grandchild on Rachel’s side.  Needless to say the families were over the moon!  

While we were walking and talking we stopped at different places along the trail where we had a good background and some good light.  There was one spot  along the main trail and then there were a couple of places towards the eastern part of the trail so we stopped there too.  One of the ideas I had thought of was to get them to write notes to their son and we would use their hands as frames and take some photos of that.  It turned out to be a lot of fun! We then went to the bridge that crosses the creek and took a few photos there.  It was a beautiful day with some amazing people.

It is such an honor being an Atlanta wedding photographer and getting to document people's milestones throughout life.  This is the third maternity shoot of one of my couples and is always a treat.  I can’t wait until my next couple's maternity shoot!
