I met Yvonne and Michael last year when I photographed their summer wedding, so when Yvonne emailed me a few weeks ago to ask about a maternity session I was beyond excited to catch up and capture some maternity portraits for them. We headed to Lincoln Woods State Park in Rhode Island, a perfect mix of woods and lakes that’s extremely popular with hikers, families and people just looking to get out at the moment. We were lucky enough to have the perfect summer wedding after the weather threatened us with rain for the entire week prior.

My favorite part of my job is the fact that I get to continue to be a part of a lot of my couples’ lives after the wedding day. Not only am I capturing all of that love and excitement but then I get invited back to watch families grow and meet the newest members.
