january maternity session | downtown princeton

kim — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:45:51 +0000

We truly lucked out on the weather on Saturday in downtown Princeton for this maternity session. It’s a far cry from last January when the ground was covered with multiple inches of snow and we couldn’t take off our coats!

Christine + Dan are expecting their first child and it’s a surprise! Christine is absolutely glowing, and you wouldn’t even guess that she had a cold! I am looking forward to meeting their little bambino/bambina in April

Simply beautiful!

Heather had recently found out she was expecting their second child at our session in the fall and now here she is only a few weeks ago from meeting their newest addition! Little C gave us a run for our money during the session, she’s excited about being a big sister and is very much in love with butterflies and all things bugs! Thank goodness she is adorable!!!

Friday evening was perfect for a maternity session at Rat’s Restaurant on the grounds at Grounds For Sculpture with two beautiful and hilarious people. The temps were in the high 70′s very low 80′s all day with the sun still giving off the summer glow. Wouldn’t have ever thought it was still August in New Jersey!

This huge rat is scary and out of place!! It is pointing to where you should enter to park for the restaurant but still really strange!

Can we talk about pregnancy glow? Jess would probably credit the sun but she looks fab!

Thanks for the laughs on a beautiful evening! I’m beyond excited to meet your little one in a few short weeks Jess + Vinnie!

I spent Tuesday morning at Wild Child Yoga hanging out with some fabulous moms and dads who were practicing yoga with their babies. Wild Child Yoga recently opened in the Princeton Shopping Center off Harrison Street and is offering yoga to new moms, toddlers, children, and prenatal/postnatal women. Visit their website for details on classes, pricing, and instructors. Justine and her entire staff are very knowledgeable about the practice of yoga and will guide you and your children along the way.

Right after we moved to Princeton I had a gorgeous maternity session with this momma-to-be x2. It seriously is still one of my favorite maternity sessions – the light that evening was beautiful! Misty and Brian are about to welcome baby boy #2 this summer. I am so jealous that their entire family is going back to Oklahoma for the entire summer – how I dream to spend my summers back there!

All the yummy details – I so wish I would have won that rosemary plant. Looks much better than the one I snagged at the farmer’s market the other day. One of the hostesses, Kelly, made the famous Bakerella Cupcake Pops. She did a much better job than any attempt I’ve made. Mad props to you Kelly!

The three hostesses + Misty (Kelly, Amy, Misty, and Sarah)

Saturday afternoon Jeanie & I co-hosted a baby shower for our friend Shannon and Lucas. S + L are not finding out the sex of the baby (I’m pulling for a girl although the census is boy) so we did a green/brown theme (which is perfect because that’s sorta the colors they are sticking with for the nursery).

Some detail shots (the favors were Bath & Body Work hand sanitizer because you want to have clean hands when visiting a new baby!)

The super cute diaper cake made by Shannon C.

Opening gifts!

The entire party minus Katie who had to leave early to pick her husband up from work. Yay for the camera self timer (ignore the fact that the front row isn’t even in focus).

A quick post from my session with Heather and Ralph who are expecting their first child. Heather has the cutest bump I think I’ve ever seen, don’t you think? I have some more photos I want to share of this session, but first a small sneak peek.

There is something beautiful and special about a pregnant woman. I love getting to spend a day documenting this wonderful time in a their lives. I met up with this gorgeous mother-to-be in Hoboken on Sunday afternoon. And there is no doubt she is going to be a wonderful mother to this little one. She has some major self-control as she is the only person that knows the sex of the child! Her husband didn’t want to find out but she was interested. I’m impressed that she has kept it in all this time! Mara enjoy your sneak peek.

Last weekend I attended Amy’s baby shower. She is having a girl (if you can’t tell by the color scheme) and I cannot be more excited for her! We are going to do a newborn session for sure, and hopefully maternity if it works out. Her husband works at Lawrenceville School and some fellow spouses threw the shower for her. It was a perfect day filled with love, laughter, and friends. Those mini cupcakes, yeah they were homemade by one of the hostesses and they were a-mazing.

maternity session – central new jersey

kim — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 01:30:27 +0000

I met up with this sweet couple on a very windy day in central New Jersey. It actually reminded me of Oklahoma! They are anxiously awaiting their first child, a girl, in May. I’m pretty sure she’s gonna have the coolest accent, with a father from New Zealand and a mother from NY. Dad did a wonderful job playing photographer’s assistant making sure Jennifer’s clothes were just right, getting a step ladder, moving anything I asked. Thanks Jamie for that! Jennifer and Jamie – enjoy your sneak peek!

I am blogging early this morning while watching snow fall in NJ on the first day of spring. Truth be told, I don’t like seeing the snow out there. We had a little taste of warm weather this week and I’ve got spring fever B.A.D.!

This past Sunday I drove up to see Elisha and her husband. They are excitedly expecting their first child, a baby boy, in the early part of April. Without further ado – I present Elisha and baby D.

Maternity – Washington DC

kim — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:21:42 +0000

I rode the train down to the Washington DC area this weekend to photograph a friend and her husband. They are expected a little boy in March and I know they are going to be great parents. They have a special love for one another and make each other laugh consistently. This little one is going to be one spoiled child.

Several weeks ago I went to the spouse’s brunch during PTS orientation. I overheard Misty talking about being from Oklahoma. My ears perked up immediately and when I had a moment I mentioned how I was from Oklahoma as well. At the end of the brunch, Misty and I discussed a maternity session since her and Brian are expecting their first baby at the end of this month.

Thank you both for venturing to Plainsboro with me! I can’t wait to meet baby boy W.
