{belly} Bonnie :: northern virginia maternity photographer

I first met Bonnie when she brought her two-year-old son Leland over for a playdate/birth photography meeting. Leland hit it off with Tristan and while they got soaking wet playing in the water table on our deck, Bonnie and I talked about birth and photography and parenting. I liked her immediately and was so excited when at the end of the meeting she booked me for her November home birth.

We had to push back her maternity session a few weeks due to weather and travel and sickness, but I think it’s fair to say that it was worth it for the beautiful fall weather and golden light. I can’t wait to meet this sweet baby girl any day now – she is sure to be as beautiful as her mama, and if these photos are any indication, that’s saying something!

  1. […] stories is that birth goes better when you surrender to the process and don’t resist it. Bonnie was the prime example of that kind of surrender. She ran straight forward into it and held nothing […]

  2. […] so excited to start the new year with this tender newborn session. If you happened to see their maternity photos or watch their birth story, you know that little Maggie May was welcomed into an adoring family. […]
