The Huttons are expecting! | Franklin family photographer

I love doing pregnancy announcement sessions!  Yes, it’s fun to get to be in on a secret before everyone else.  I especially love when it is first-time parents who have that wonderful combination of excitement and nervousness because they have no idea what the next several months are going to entail.  Did any of us really know what to expect when we were carrying our firsts?  Nope.  No amount of reading could have told me all of the little things.  That is part of the beauty of the experience; it is so much more than someone could put down on paper.

Back to this adorable duo– they are related to some regular clients of mine, and I was thrilled to get to meet them!  It’s fun to make connections like that.

At this type of session, my goal is to split our time in half– we spend half of it doing announcement-type photos and the other half doing updated portraits of the couple.  Most couples don’t regularly get quality photos taken together, so I really like to emphasize this.We met at one of my favorite spots in Franklin.  It has this awesome gray porch with the chipping paint and tons of character.  It adds tons of interest and character to our photos.  My last pregnancy announcement session was actually at this same location!Isn’t mama GLOWING??  She looked so gorgeous for our shoot.Look at those tiny little shoes!  This little one has long been prayed for at their house.  Mama made some signs to use for her session, so we found some fun ways to incorporate them.  I love the texture of the old tree with this one.I love this photo so much that I’m showing you both the color and the b&w versions!  Do you have a favorite? This daddy is 6’3″, if I remember correctly, so look at how tiny that little outfit is compared to him! 

Leave them some love in the comments!  Which photo was your favorite?
