A WONDERFUL AFTERNOON [Monica Brown, Pensacola Maternity Photographer]

I have taken some time away from "work" the last few weeks...and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I took time with just the kids and we have simply played. They have boundless energy and I have had a hard time keeping up! Next week we will settle into a routine, but for now we are trying to enjoy every moment of summer. And I am sure we will continue to do so in the afternoons after preschool :)

Last weekend Jake was wonderful enough to watch the kids the entire weekend for me to travel to Atlanta to throw my cousin's (sister's, more like it) baby shower. While there, I took her maternity photos just north of the city at Chateau Elan. It was amazing there. Beautiful streaming sunlight through a magnificent vineyard. The photos will tell the story...

The first photo I snapped.

These always seem to be some of my favorite.

I am getting my settings and then snap to make sure they are spot on.

No one ever realizes I am taking their photo.

The results are so very natural and unposed.

That afternoon sunlight was just yummy

my favorite family photo of the afternoon

oh, sweet Savannah! She is going to be a great big sister!

Wendy, you are simply breathtaking.

It was my pleasure taking these photos.

I will treasure them always.

And my very favorite of them all!

You can actually tell Wendy has a little belly in this one. She is so tiny so far. I looked about like this at 4 months with Luke. Having two little girls running through the house is going to be so much fun!

I cannot wait to meet you Miss Hailey Grace!

delightfully,

Monica
