All because two marines fell in love...
This maternity session was SO GOOD. First off, Sophia is stunning. But on top of that, she's also laid back, friendly, and has a great sense of humor! She's also my soon-to-be daughter-in-law, so I'm happy to brag on her. Stephen (my stepson), met Sophia in Sergeant school at Camp Lejeune. They're both Marines, and both tough as nails, but in a lot of ways they couldn't be more different. He was raised in the South, with a strong, quiet demeanor. She's from New York, and is probably one of the few people I've met (aside from my sister) who could make friends pretty much anyone she talks to. For as private and reserved as Stephen is, Sophia just glances his way and can easily coax a smile out of Stephen. So the last time Stephen and Sophia were visiting, we decided to take some maternity photos! Thanks to a friend of hers, Amazon, and my closet, we pulled together 3 different looks for this shoot - each one a slightly different style but man, Sophia just GLOWED in all of them! And just two days after we took these photos, Stephen and Sophia's son Westley made his debut. We took photos on Saturday, they drove back home to North Carolina Sunday and Sophia delivered Westley on Monday evening! All in the family (including Westley's big brother, the Golden Retriever Gus who's almost as photogenic as Sophia) are doing well and healthy. And as a grandma and a photographer, let's just say I'm a tad excited to head up and meet my new grandson and take some family photos! Thank you Sophia & Stephen for trusting me to photograph this special time in your relationship, it fills my heart to see the love between you. *^*^*^*^*Click each image to see it uncropped*^*^*^*^*^*^*
