Wanted to share with you more from Jessica’s maternity session. We had nice weather and she brought some wonderful clothing choices. She is more than just glowing, she is radiant! (Hint, to see the photos faster, just click through the thumbnail images.)
One of the goals on my business list for 2010 is to give away some of my session time. I decided recently to give away a mini session when I reached 500 fans on Facebook and again when I reach 600 fans. On the night I was closing in on 500 fans, Jessica left me a message saying she couldn’t schedule the maternity shoot she’d been planning on because she had some unexpected expenses come up as a result of a move coming up. I emailed her that night and awarded her the 500th fan mini session winner!
I photographed an engagement session with Jessica and her fiance Jake a few months ago. Jake and Jessica came to Hampton Roads via the Navy. They met through mutual friends but Jake moved to Illinois to pursue his degree not long into their dating. Their relationship developed “pretty much long distance,” says Jessica. After about a year of the long distance relationship, Jake moved to Virginia where he completed his required internship.
They found out they were pregnant in the middle of Jake’s move and not long afterward he proposed. “Of course I said yes!” Jessica says. They are now preparing to move to Kansas, where they will raise their son near friends and family. Jake is going to grad school to pursue a career in federal law enforcement and Jessica will be fortunate to be a stay at home mom and complete her degree in business administration. For all of their service to our country and Jake’s continued service in the law enforcement field, I was grateful to provide Jessica with a maternity mini session in celebrating the milestone of reaching 500 fans.
Thank you, too, to all of you who “stalk” my blog, Fan my Facebook page and offer so much support to me. I so appreciate my clients, family and friends – thank you!
Know someone deserving of a mini session? Nominate them by emailing me at amy@amysandovalphotography.com – and “Like” the Facebook page so we’ll get to 600 as fast as we can!
Here’s a sneak peek at Jessica’s session – more photos hitting the blog from her session soon! (She takes the pregnant glow to radiant!)

beautifull photo’s! very nice colors and DOF!
Gorgeous, as always! I’m totally a “stalker”! LOL!
Maternity portrait sessions are filled with a lot of fun anticipation – I often see the nursery and get to take in all of the preparations being made for baby. This one was extra special because in another couple of months I will get to meet their new arrival at a newborn photography session. This will be one lucky baby – mom and dad are both so excited and mom definitely has that pregnant glow about her. I’m glad we were able to take photos both indoors and out so we caught the golden hour and I was able to play with the light. And, take note, aren’t her boots hot?!

Beautiful! She is gorgeous and your images are fantastic. Love the last ones with the sunflare SOOOO much!
Beautiful, she looks stunning! I love the way you work with the light, the sunflare on the last two is gorgeous.
I knew the moment I spoke with Brent and Denise on the phone that their maternity session was going to be fun. Sure enough, this maternity session in Suffolk was an absolute blast. We took the maternity portion of the session photos while their blue-eyed cutie son was finishing his nap. Mom and dad were a trip, sharing love taps and laughing heartily together throughout the entire session.
Later, their so woke up in the best mood I’ve ever seen on a 2-year-old post-nap! He joined right in on the fun. The pre-family photo warm-up? A dance session to Metro Station’s “Shake It,” of course! You’ll notice below that I included two versions of the same photo of him (look at those eyes, that smile!) – sometimes I just can’t decide which I prefer and I post both. Whenever I create two different versions of a photo, clients receive both so the choice is in their hands.
We then headed to a neighborhood park – we actually had a choice of several, which was so nice – and I got some photos of the three of them in action. Check out the one of them going down the slide together as a family!
Denise and Brent – here is your sneak peek. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
