SHE'D SPENT FIVE YEARS AND COUNTLESS ROUNDS OF IVF HOPING FOR THIS BABY. WHEN HER DOCTORS ASKED HER TO STAY AT CLEMENTS UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL UNTIL DELIVERY, SHE TEXTED ME: "HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT SHOOTING AT THE HOSPITAL?" I SAID YES AND IT TURNED INTO ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING, EMOTIONALLY FULL SESSIONS I'VE EVER HAD.

SOME SESSIONS ALL THE PIECES COME TOGETHER PERFECTLY . RIGHT PERSON, RIGHT LOCATION, RIGHT STYLING, RIGHT LIGHT. MALLORY’S MATERNITY SESSION AT THE LIMESTONE QUARRY WAS ONE OF THOSE.

A IN-HOME FAMILY SESSION ISN’T ALL ABOUT THE PHOTOS YOU GET. IT’S A TIME TO STOP THE TO-DO LIST OF LIFE AND BE FULLY PRESENT WITH YOUR KIDS. THAT’S WHAT YOU ARE BOOKING.

THEY OUTGREW THE HOUSE THEY ONCE BUILT. FAMILIAR ROUTINES, A GROWING BUMP, AND THE LAST FRAMES OF FOUR.
