Maternity Photo Shoot

June 12, 2014 By Carole

Last month my long time friend Sally contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in doing a newborn photo shoot for her soon to be born grandson. I jumped at the chance – I mean, a baby? And photography experience? Oh, YES. And then I asked Sally if maybe her daughter and son-in-law would like to do a maternity shoot first. I thought it would be a great chance for all of us to get to know each other and get comfortable with each other before the baby photos. I was thrilled when they agreed and so, on a cloudy Friday a few weeks ago we met up at the Natural Resources Trust in Easton.

I took 175 photos in about 45 minutes and it was so much fun! Of course, it helps that Chad and Laura are the cutest couple ever.

Right? They were so easy to work with and, even though I was very nervous initially, I soon felt comfortable and they did, too.

We wandered around a bit, taking a few photos sitting on this rock, posing here and there.

Kissing in front of this wall. And just generally laughing and having fun. You know, while I stuck a camera in their faces and said – “wait! stand there! now, Laura, look down. Chad, put your hand on Laura’s belly.”

You get the idea.

They brought this sweet little pair of baby sneakers along so we used those in a couple of photos, too.

I mean. How cute is that? I can’t even stand it.

And this. Laura, could you be any more serene and beautiful? Like, could you look a little bloated, please, instead of this amazing?

Thank you, Laura and Chad and Sally for this wonderful opportunity. I can’t wait to do it again with the baby on the outside.

    Oh Carole, the photos came out just amazing & beautiful!!! I was hoping we’d get a sneak peek. 🙂 Even though I knew you’d do a great job. You captured this young couples joy and excitement so beautifully as they wait for their little one. What a treasure these will be for them in the years to come! Great job!!!
    Congratulations to Laura & Chad on their little one!

    You did a wonderful job Carole! It’s amazing how different things are now – when I was pregnant 20 years ago I would hide from the camera. I love how personal the photos are now. And they are most certainly an adorable couple <3

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
