Julie and Josh: A Snowy Maternity Session

I had previously photographed Julie, a friend from way back, and her husband, Josh, along with their "fur babies", Desmond and Penny.  That fall session experience stands out as one of my most enjoyable sessions to date. 

Once can only imagine then how thrilled I was when Julie contacted me with the the exciting news that they were now expecting their first child!  Julie was crossing her fingers that we would have a snowy day for her maternity photos and thanks to the white-and-wild, record breaking winter we have had here in Ohio, we got exactly what we wished for. There was thick, fresh snow all around, even still sticking to tree branches and a warm glowing sun which made for awesome back lighting.  As an added bonus, the temperature for the day was NOT down around the 0-degree mark, as it had been seemingly MOST of the winter! If not for our chilly toes which were buried in snow most of the time, we would have thought it a heatwave. It all set the perfect scene to allow Julie (just 3 weeks from her due date) and Josh to snuggle together, laugh, dance, and celebrate the miracle of their love!
