I am honest with my clients, so when Kari asked me to shoot her maternity photos, I told her upfront that I had never done maternity before. Fast forward a few emails and Kari and Alex met me at my store, Canoe Place Creative, in Port Allegany to discuss the shoot. When Alex asked if I'd shot family portraits, the answer was yes, so he decided to rename the maternity session to a "Pre-Family Session." Genius! I tried to capture these two just as I would a newly engaged couple, emphasizing the love between the two of them. The only difference being that two of them will soon be three! 

Kari and Alex, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph this moment in your lives! 

This is Kari's parents' property. Isn't it amazing! And that fog in the background...
