I just couldn’t wait to share these maternity photos with you, dear Reader!  Sam is a dear friend of mine that I’ve known for years, and I’ve literally watched her grow up before my eyes!  Now she’s a beautiful mama-to-be, and I can hardly believe it.

Sam had planned on a studio maternity session, but we both had expressed our hope that maybe we’d get some snow and be able to do a winter maternity photo shoot.  Then, just yesterday, I was editing photos and happened to look out the window–it was snowing!  Big, beautiful flakes falling from the sky and covering the ground in white!  I immediately texted Sam, barely able to contain my excitement.  Somehow, we were both free on the same day, and we were able to get everything together in an hour!   Yesterday was one of those rare days when it was cold enough to snow and actually lay, but then it got warm enough that we didn’t feel cold at all.  It couldn’t have been more perfect.

Isn’t she beautiful?  I think she looks like a queen of the woodland.

Thank you, Sam and Ben, for letting me capture this special time for you!!!  (((Hugs))) Sandy
