Yusuf

Yet another indoor session on the blog! 

I love having friends from all cultures. I met Ilknur at a friends baby shower one day and completely fell in love with her kindness and personality. I hadn't seen her throughout her whole pregnancy and this week I went to say goodbye before I depart to Chile. Her son, Yusuf is already 3 months old! I hate to miss so many memories of people I wish I was closer to, but in the end I know I am privileged to live the life I do. Ilknur and her husband are from Turkey, she has a bachelor’s in early developmental education and is currently pursuing her master’s degree! She is a kind and gentle soul. She says that Yusuf makes her smile every day. She loves motherhood. We had a sweet time together in  which Ilknur and I just chatted, took some candid pictures and talked about our lives and family. It is incredible how similar we really are no matter where we come from. Enjoy this indoor session :)

Candace + Tyler maternity session

Candace and Tyler are having their first baby soon! On a bright sunny day we took a walk in a park that is near their home. Together they have taken many walks in this little reservoir, but this time it was much sweeter. We took Sam Wise Gamgee with us, as Tyler likes to shout after him, and took a walk on a very breezy evening. Sam likes to run, get sticks and play in the water. Candace and Tyler stayed calm despite that fact that the wind was trying to get control. Thank God that Candace had her fashionable hat! Together we created an epic maternity session. I would say this is a masterpiece, but I might be biased :).

Amy + Trey

I was excited to shoot Amy's maternity pictures because it meant that I would have my first experience shooting in the hill country of San Antonio! Trey and Amy are expecting their first baby (It's a girl ! And her name is Reese!) by December 31st. Together we went to a small park nearby their church to spend a few minutes taking pictures. I must say that I was pretty excited to find deer in the middle of our session and my sweet husband took some great shots (included here). Congratulatons Trey and Amy! We are so happy for you!
