I love maternity sessions! The excitement, the happiness, the love all around. I was so excited to meet up with Marcella and her family at Best Farm in Frederick MD for a family maternity session this winter! It's so important to involve the family in these photos. Of course, I always take the mama away and get photos just of mom and bump, but that family connection is so important and all these kids will love to look back on these photos in the years to come and they will remember exactly how excited they were as they counted down the days before Gabriel's arrival! 

And by the way, he's due to 'arrive' on Valentine's Day! Let's see when he decides he wants to be born! :)

Here are some of my favorites from Marcella's maternity session...
