pregnancy photo in field

Getting together with old friends is always a good time! Especially when it’s these two – the people you had the most fun with in college a decade ago – and even better when they’re expecting another baby and you get to photograph their sweet, growing family!!

Their family of 3 is growing by one! These types of sessions are always one of my favorites! Celebrating with a Maternity Session is such a wonderful way to preserve memories of your family as it changes and grows, and to be able to reflect back on how beautiful you looked while pregnant! With the whole family there, we made sure to get some of not only mom-to-be, but of the entire family together as well as just the parents, and then just their son. 

We decided to meet in Princeton, NJ at one of my favorite local spots to take outdoor photographs of their family in a beautiful environment at sunset. This location has beautiful fields and trees, old houses and hiking trails. The light and weather were gorgeous that day and we all had fun walking around and taking photos together throughout the evening. 

Francesca wore a gorgeous pink floral dress and the guys wore blue, which matched the flowers in her dress perfectly! I love that combination… especially for a maternity session!

They even brought their Bernese Mountain Dog, Dexter, who was so well behaved! (I love when families include their fur-babies!) What a sweet family portrait!

I was so grateful to be there to photograph another milestone for this amazing family, as they get ready to welcome a little girl into their family and I’m so glad to call them my friends! Thanks for taking a peek at their maternity session!
