Beauty of Life {Heather Milano – Bucks County Photographer}

I rarely get the opportunity to shoot a maternity session. It seems the women that I’ve talked to never feel truly beautiful to have themselves photographed, are too consumed with pre-baby preparations to take time for photos or just simply don’t know what they would do with photos of themselves pregnant. I also believe that most soon-to-be dads would not as readily participate in the session with fear that it would be cheesy, awkward and just not their style. As luck would have it, this couple reached out to me thanks to a great friend of mine. They were married within the past year and never had engagement photos so they sort of looked at this as a double opportunity – a loving relationship and parenthood incorporated into one! I was even more excited that they brought along their “first born” baby, Abby, to share in their special day. Just by spending the afternoon with this couple I felt the great connection they had. They took this session so comfortably not being afraid to show a few sentimental moments and then have laughs after. Their self confidence is proven by the great natural smiles in every single photo they took. I urge any of you women expecting to use this couple as an example of how a maternity session can be for you and your partner. Embrace your beauty and love and capture these moments before they are quickly forgotten in the new journey of parenthood – in which case I then suggest you contact me for newborn photos

Thanks so much L and B for an absolute great time!

What I’ve been up to…

Its been a busy time for me now that the beautiful weather has arrived (take away today!) I have been busy photographing softball photos, a communion, a graduation and a maternity session! Here are some sneaks of what’s to come. Hope everyone was enjoying this early start to Spring!

Singing C {Heather Milano – Bucks County Photographer}

In the past I have shared my gratitude for C’s mom. A few years ago, which now seems like an entire life time, she was our twins OT. She came into our home and taught us the skills necessary to get our immobile boys moving and how to build up their strength. I believe it was her knowledge, love for her profession and attachment to my boys that got them where they are today. It once felt unimaginable to envision my boys running and climbing the playground ladders with ease and now I can’t remember what it was like to not have them be so active. I remember them having no defense reflexes and I remember my older twin not being able to walk up the threshold into our front door. She truly was a huge part of their toddlers years being in our house every week working with them. It was bittersweet when our boys no longer needed services, but at least I now have this cute excuse to keep in touch with her!

I have to tell you, C is a spitting image of her mom, as you will see. However, you would have to have spent the morning with her to REALLY understand what a little firecracker she is. During our session, and like previous ones, mom gave us a soundtrack to work with. I am a huge music fan so having some Billy Joel or whoever playing in the background was awesome. This year, C has an Adele infatuation. No way?! Me too! What I wasn’t ready for was this little girl singing word for word every song that came on. Literally. I felt like I should have had a video camera in hand and not my Nikon! In tune and singing the real lyrics, not made up ones, we had our photo shoot. As aforementioned in an earlier post, our winter has been so pleasant so we also did some outdoor ones and the entire time C continued to sing, this time making up her own lyrics and dancing. I couldn’t help but wonder if some day, these very photos I was taking, would be worth hundreds when she becomes a super star. I’ll be able to say, “I knew her when….!”

So readers, remember this face!

And some My Little Pony love…
