It’s amazing how things can change over such a short period of time. It seems like just yesterday I was photographing Molly and Dave’s wedding. In truth, it really wasn’t that long ago. They were married in February, 2012. Just recently, they celebrated their 1 year wedding anniversary. For this reason, I was a little surprised, and elated, when they called me for a maternity session. Molly is essentially nine months along, and due any moment. So, we had to hurry.
Being winter, we decided to start inside their home and then work outside in the Gates Mills neighborhood. For me, this also made the session very personal. I think capturing a personal subject should be done in a personal place. And their gorgeous home is as good a place as any. It’s warm, beautiful and quaint.
We then headed outside and into the deep snow. We haven’t had much snow in Cleveland this year, but we had plenty on this particular day. We spent a few minutes outside their home before heading over to the Gates Mills Gardening Club. The small white barn and house made a great backdrop for the snowy weather. Below are just a few favorites, which I am excited to share today.
The last photo above is one of my personal favorites. I know – it’s a photo of a photo. However, it’s so cool that modern technology allows us to “see” our children before they even come into the world. A huge thanks to Molly and Dave for inviting me to briefly join their growing family once more. And thanks to Bella, the dog, for tolerating my presence again.
