Phillips | Lawton Oklahoma Maternity Photographer

Shy came to slay the day of our session! She absolutely killed it and I could have photographed her all day. I mean just take a look at her, that simple black dress elevated by her dark lips. And that pregnancy glow. Yeah she definitely understood the assignment.

I first met Shy a handful of years ago in an Ihop bathroom, what is it about a girls bathroom that just oozes girl power? Haha just nothing like a meetup in a girls bathroom.

Now we are both moms and I couldn’t of been more honored when she asked me to capture her maternity pictures. I have loved watching her blossom into a wife and now a mother.

We met up mid afternoon, completely out of my comfort zone because our schedules only matched up then. Maternity sessions there is a window for the perfect time, too soon and you aren’t really showing but if you go to past that perfect window then the mother-to-be is uncomfortable. Sitting can be hard, not feeling like themselves in their own skin due to the baby growing inside, lots of factors on ensuring a maternity session is booked at the right time.

I loved how the bright sun helped add drama to the session though, the shadows and bright highlights were fun to play with. So I am super thankful for the push to get out of my comfort zone and get images I am really happy with.
