One of the coolest things about being a photographer is the connections that you make. I get to witness first hand some of the most important parts of peoples lives, its pretty amazing to watch a family that’s just starting out and watch it grow. For me I usually first do a photoshoot for a couple when they are engaged. The engagement session is always a fun photo session that lets me spend some quality time with the couple and start to get to know them. On the wedding day I am usually there from the getting ready moments up until the end of the night. Spending time in the room with the girls getting ready, the guys beforehand and all of the family really brings you in to this personal, private space for families and lets you connect with them. After the wedding most of the times I feel like part of their family (maybe that crazy uncle with the camera always). But then after the wedding I still get to experience some great moments and share in them with my clients. They get pregnant, have babies, grow their family, have an anniversary, the list goes on and on and while all of these huge milestones are happening I am right there creating lifestyle photos of them to cherish and remember the day forever. No words can describe how cool that really is.

So today here are a few images of Sherri and Steve who are about to have their first baby! Congrats guys, you will be awesome parents.
