“When we first found out we were expecting, I knew instantly I wanted maternity portraits taken. This is our first baby and I wanted to have these photos as a memory to share with our family and our future daughter. We chose Liz because we loved the way she used natural light and how soft and beautiful her photos were. My husband does not like taking pictures but after our session, he could not wait to see how they turned out. The outdoor setting during sunset was perfect and we felt at ease and had a fun time. I loved how Liz not only captured the love my husband and I had for each other but also the love we have for our soon to be daughter. We will cherish these photos forever.” Sasha, Expectant Mother
“I always try to get to know my clients a bit before our session, to make us both feel more comfortable and get a feel for who they are. Sasha and Shea told me they have been together for 11 years, and once we met, I could immediately see the comfort they had in one another. They had such a loving connection, and were being playful and sweet throughout their entire session. Their excitement and anticipation for their first child, a girl, was almost palpable! We settled on White Rock Lake for its gorgeous landscape and view of the Dallas skyline. When Sasha showed up wearing her stunning pale pink dress I just knew the entire session was going to be gorgeous! They were the kindest, most laid-back couple and our entire session was relaxed and fun! What I love most about photographing expecting mothers is capturing the quiet calm that seems to radiate from within. The body is so busy knitting together every perfect piece of this miracle, that most mothers have a sense of ease about them. Sasha was the perfect example of this. She was so calm, so drawn to her belly and connecting with her daughter that her love simply radiated through my lens. As a mother myself, I remember embracing my growing belly, the unconditional and expanding love I already felt toward my unborn child, and how much my love for my husband grew the moment we found out we were expecting. During each maternity session, it is my goal to capture all those feelings in a tangible way for my clients to hold onto forever.”
