a client contacted me a while back about booking a maternity / newborn session. a number of emails transpired between the two of us and then she booked. in a recent email, she said she thought it would be nice if i knew a little about she and her husband; she is a police officer and he is a teacher. well, i always wonder what my clients are going to look like, not that it matters but i just can't help it. it's kind of like a big mystery. i get clues via emails and sometimes the phone, but then finally, on the day of our session, i get to meet them and the mystery is solved. so my mind started churning. police officer, huh? tough? rough? i wondered. i had some thoughts in my head about how she was going to look...couldn't help it. and of course, i couldn't help but think of the reality show, "cops".

so i was supposed to shoot the couple this past weekend but had to reschedule them for today, due to my being sick. well...she didn't look anything like i thought. i even told her, you don't look like a cop. i guess i was just expecting someone rough and tough. i'm sure she's actually very tough (you have to be to be a cop, right?!) but she was very beautiful and elegant. and man, were they fun to shoot. they were so in love and of course, she glowed. the first photo below is a new favorite of mine. i totally dug his tattoo. and the fact that his belt didn't run through two of the loops. i love that; it just adds more character to the photo.

oh...and, can you believe that she's due in three weeks. she looks amazing.

C and D, thanks so much for the wonderful time.
i can't wait to meet your little one.
