Oh my goodness!...I had such a fun e-session this weekend with B and P, and I could seriously just sit here and stare at their pictures all day and all night because their entire session was such a blast!...Of course, it doesn't hurt in the least that they're an amazingly gorgeous couple, and on top of that, they're fun and sweet as can be, too!!!...I am looking SOOOO forward to shooting their big day this May...I know it's going to be an absolutely beautiful day, and honestly, with faces like these, I mean really, it just makes my job way too too easy!!!...Hope you guys enjoy this little peek, because there are a super-duper LOT more to come!!!...-EPJ

I had the pleasure this weekend of meeting and shooting this beautiful mommy & daddy-to-be, as they await the upcoming arrival of their first baby girl any day now!!!...We had a fun filled afternoon of heading here, there and everywhere, and even though mommy knew in her head the specific shots she was looking for, she was also super awesome to let me experiment a little with her precious baby bump, and try a few funky & different styled shots as well :) ...I love a mommy who not only knows what she wants, but also feels comfortable enough to trust me to "play around" a bit!!!...Hopefully the two styles mesh well together for mommy, and y'all will enjoy this little sneak peek as you patiently wait for your sweet baby girl to make her big arrival in the coming days (or hours even?!?!) and I can't wait to meet little miss P for her newborn session in the very near future!!!...Enjoy and remember, there's lots more to come!!!...-EPJ
