Adams Maternity - Fredericksburg Maternity Photographer

Ashley was the fabulous winner of the giveaway a few months ago, this lovely lady is so very popular and managed to get all her fabulous friends to vote for her to win a maternity session with me. I feel so honored that she wanted to meet me in the first place :)  So after a few months of waiting (and growing) we were ready for our session. She decided she wanted to have her session at an old barn. I later discovered that she had actually grown up near a barn when she was little. Brittney came with me during this session to polish up on her skills and we all quickly became friends. As it turns out Robert had been stationed in Hawaii where the Jimmy (Brittney's Hubby) was stationed, and they were close friends, what a small world! Our evening session was cloudy and gloomy but that did not stop us, the sun would tease us with peeking through the clouds exciting us with its glow and throwing off my white balance for a few seconds until it would hide back behind the next set of clouds. Ashley had a list of fabulous and creative ideas to try so once the formal portraits were done we proceeded to have fun and try them all. We laughed and joked and had a ball, this was one of the most laughter-filled maternity sessions I've ever done! Baby Paisley comes into this world with light-hearted and wonderful parents, Congratulations Ashley and Robert!

Paisley will be one lucky little baby, Daddy found not one but TWO lucky clovers, one had 4 leafs and the other had 5! How unique is that?

Fair is fair, here is one of Daddy to be

Just Playing Around

So after Thursday's session I had my camera with me whenI went to pick up Caspian from Dehaven's Daycare. My little boy was outside playing without a shirt on because it was so hot. Virginia weather is so unpredictable.

Gloria and Caspian are best of friends, they like to do silly things together including painting piggy banks, sharing their meals, bathing, dancing and getting in trouble together. Here I caught them dancing in the garage. I love how graceful they are! 

The kids pushed out the mini-motor vehicle and rode around the lawn for a few minutes until the battery died. I thought it was cute to see Baby Donnie driving while everyone else pushed. 

They have so much fun together! <3

Bass Pro World & Richmond, VA

 What a weekend! Here's Caspian before our awesome weekend. He's so handsome and so silly! I think I am doing really good with my resolution to take more pictures of Caspian, Lol. Yay me!

 

Mi Amor had a Woody theme birthday party for Caspian when we were in California and Juan Gustavo bought Caspian this awesome Woody doll. Unfortunately I could not locate woody's hat before we left. 

Kisses for Woody!

Using flash indoors.

 OK here is when we got to Bass Pro World. There were a lot of really interesting props and things used to decorate the retail areas. I am so glad I had my trusty Canon. I shot with a really high ISO since it was dark inside and I knew I wouldn't be printing any of these pictures anyway.

The awesome welcome sign, I'd never seen anything like this!

Love the depth of field in this one!

A very old school camera. A "Brownie Junior" oh the days of film. How far they are yet how close they haunt us. I'm afraid of the dark, thank goodness for the Digital Single Reflexes of today with digital darkrooms. 

Caspian was frightened of this massive sized fish!

What beautiful fish they had in their indoor pond

Suhweet looking 'Coon if you ask me

52 Week Challenge: #2 Make Believe

An albino dear, didn't know these existed.

the sign does not lie, Virginia really is a big time hunting community. I learned the hard way, Kevin is an insane hunter now... The stories I could tell.

Caspian being silly. He enjoyed walking on this little bridge. He doesn't get out much, poor guy.

Looks like he is going to launch a rocket! Cas is so bright he's got his trigger fingers in there and everything!

No longer my sweet little baby.

Got this cute shot of this awesome little turtle design on the railings of the upper deck in Bass Pro World.

$1 Hot Dogs when you are leaving just in time for lunch. Caspian had TWO! Hungry hungry boy

wanted to have Cas sit on this but it was too cold.

Next we set our sail towards Richmond, VA. I'd never been and just wanted to experience the wonder I guess. Well I was not impressed, in fact besides the statue of Lee we didn't see anything worth mentioning, my feet did not even touch the outside of our truck because the population that resided in the area looked less than welcoming plus the weather was cold and we had no set direction so we decided to go back home instead.

Jen Cares! I really do care! Jenne V Care Packages!

Just a tad creepy.

Overall we had a very nice day at Bass Pro, Kevin got his early Anniversary present. New boots for hunting. And I got a trip to Richmond, VA & a lovely candle-lit dinner with my two favorite fellas. Life is good.

Love candle-lit dinners. These smelled like Pumpkins and Vanilla.

What the house looks like after a hard day of playing hard with Caspian. Lol
