i have no idea how one manages to look this good over half way through their third pregnancy, but if we ever needed proof that life is not fair, we finally have it. this beautiful mama to be traveled from dallas to kansas city for her maternity photos. she’s expecting her third baby. i’ve been lucky enough to photograph all three of her maternity sessions and both of her boys since they were just days old. but this pregnancy is different – this time she’s having a girl. i’m already dreaming of our fabulous newborn session that will take place next month. so many ideas swirling in my head, but first…here are her maternity portraits that were all shot in the studio. is she not rockin’ the hell outta those leather pants? and this? definitely another favorite. i loved the all white – only she could pull that off in her third trimester. and of course, since she’s having a girl we had to throw in a little pop of pink. she’s absolutely glowing! so many favorites from this session, including this last shot. thank you, mel, for always rolling with my wild ideas and for trusting me with so many […]

It seems like every post I've written in the last month has started out with the words "I'm so behind on blogging". So…I guess I'll just get right to it. Here are are few more faves from the rest of Erin and Brian's maternity session. Is Erin amazing or what? Their sweet baby girl arrived on Friday. Congratulations to both of you. I can't wait to meet her in a few days! (Like what you see? Leave some love in the comment section. We love to hear from you.

I'm so behind on blogging! I've got LOTS to share but I figured I should start with Jenny's maternity session as tomorrow I get to meet her sweet baby girl. This was such a fun session. Jenny and Matthew are so laid back and so in love – every photographer's dream. And this is definitely a favorite! I guess this is what you call a sympathy pose… And he had to work really hard to make it look like he had a belly. Nice going, Matthew. Told you all it was a fun session!

They say that all good things come to those who wait and this long-awaited pregnancy is one I'm so honored to document. This is just a small sneak peek at what is sure to be one of my all-time favorite maternity sessions – not simply because I loved the images we created, but also because of the beautiful love that will be showered upon this precious baby. Congratulations, Jenny and Matthew! Much love, H

I'll just start by saying that summer is KICKING MY ASS! And I'm afraid if I don't blog something soon a few of you might track me down and do the same thing (Monica). Oh! Ummmm, did I just blog that outloud? The August issue of Her Life Magazine is here. I saw this issue in print for the first time at our pediatrician's office the other day. That was kind of a trip! Our GORGEOUS cover girl Jennifer Vannatta-Fisher is someone I'm lucky enough to call a client and a friend. I've shot her family twice before and just adore them all. Not only is Jennifer beautiful (and rockin' that teeny tiny little baby bump of hers), but she's an incredibly inspiration gal. She and two of her brothers own VANBROS and Associates. They run the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants in five states. Jen is a former Miss Kansas herself and has made a career out of inspiring and motivating young women do to great things. We had such a blast shooting this whole series. Click to see it bigger. I still haven't figured out what the heck is up with Typepad… Seriously! Who looks this […]

Oh, to be pregnant with TWINS and look this good! Oh, to look this good PERIOD! This gorgeous mama to be was referred to me by another photographer (thanks, Julie!) and I’m so glad I got the chance to meet and work with her. She was on modified bed rest at the time of our shoot but she was such a trooper! I just found out she’s been scheduled for a c-section next week. Best of luck, Mamacita. I’ll be anxiously awaiting the news of their arrival! Hugs, H

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I LOVE MATERNITY SESSIONS! This session was especially fun because of the amount of creative freedom I was given. I feel like I produce my best work when I’m allowed to work this way. Nick and Christina put a lot of faith in me and I was delighted to hear that she was thrilled with the outcome. We worked together to create these images and I’m so excited to share them with all of you. While Christina could totally work it super model style, Nick had his GQ game on, too! Probably my favorite shot from the whole session. Love that hair blowing in the wind and how it frames her eye just so. And how awesome is Christina still working it even with a mass of hair in her face!! She’s got less than four weeks to go now. Hang in there, Christina! I can’t wait to meet the baby!
