Nalepinski | South Bend Maternity Session

DSC_0897

I photograph couples and sexy ladies for boudoir, thats pretty much my go to. I don’t advertise for families or anything else really, but one thing I don’t advertise for but love to do is maternity sessions. I usually do them for previous brides, but I wish I could do them more often! Shannon is a past bride, who got married last summer in August and now I get to photograph her South Bend Maternity Session! So excited!

Shannon is a super fit mom, doing work outs 7 months pregnant that I can’t do while not pregnant. She is a goddess and a wonderful momma to her little girl Addyson and will be even more amazing to the sweet little girl yet to come.

We started the session in the studio in Downtown South Bend, getting some classic studio and silhouette shots as well as some cute mommy daughter ones on the bed. We then packed up and headed out to the Oliver Mansion Gardens right at the golden hour when the sun is starting to get low in the sky and peak through the tree’s giving a wonderful glow.

Shannon wore a pretty blue floral sundress and we also used my maternity gown from the studio too. I didn’t bring an assistant to the session, but Addyson did a wonderful job of helping me “fluff” the dress for the photos.

I was worried all week that the weather would be horrible, too hot or raining, but we got lucky! The heat was tolerable and the rain left us just at the right time and we were able to mage photographic magic!
