This week we are featuring a beautiful outdoor maternity session.

Justin and Felicia’s story started back in 2007. They met at a graduation party. At the time, Felicia was living in NY finishing her senior year of college and Justin was living in CT. They made their long distance relationship work. Anyone who’s been in one, knows how difficult that can be! In 2011, they were on a Caribbean cruise. On their first formal night, Justin proposed on the grand staircase! How romantic! 11 months later they were married at The Riverview in Simsbury, CT.

Over the next 5 years, they purchased their first house and brought home their first “baby”, a white boxer mix named Bella. A year after that, Lambeau, named after the Green Bay Packers stadium, joined them. They spent their free time vacationing and making memories with each other. They took on adventures such as sky diving, exploring wine trails and brewery hopping. After taking a month in the summer of 2016 to travel around Europe, they decided it was time to start a family!

Growing A Family

“We were blessed to learn that we were expecting Hudson in May of 2017. Right away I knew I wanted someone who could help us capture this special time in our lives, especially because Hudson is our rainbow baby. I had seen the work you had done for friends who were expecting. I loved the way you captured the beauty of pregnancy, not only in the woman but in the relationship with her significant other. That led me to exploring your website and newborn gallery which made me even more confident that I wanted you to be the one to capture both sides of this journey.” – Felicia

Felicia wore an off-the-shoulder maternity gown for their session that looked absolutely stunning on her! I knew the pop of color would look amazing against the muted backdrop. What a gorgeous couple and momma-to-be in the perfect setting! Insert photographer happy dance! Check out the images from their session. Can’t you just feel the love between these two and their love for this baby?!

Felicia and Justin welcomed their baby boy Hudson last month and I was lucky enough to photograph his newborn session as well! Expecting and want to learn more about a maternity or newborn session? Let’s chat! CONTACT US or email alison@alisonmariephotography.com.
