One of the side effects of being a photographer, is that I am ALWAYS on the lookout for new fun locations to shoot at. I’ll be driving somewhere, and I’ll catch a glimpse of a spot, and start imagining all the different possibilities. There is this one spot that I drive past regularly, and I’ve been DYING to get some photos there around sunset. So I asked my wonderful little sister to come with me for a mini-adventure the other night. She is expecting baby #2 in November, so I thought we’d do some maternity photos around sunset. Below are some of my favorites.

For these last images, we “borrowed” this backdrop from a lovely and gracious couple, who let us shoot in front of their amazing home. It was built in the 1700s, and they just finished renovating it–it’s all black, with a gorgeous black and stone garage next to it. I’m hoping they’ll let me shoot there again, we were only here for a few minutes because the sun was almost down at this point. You can see how the light was changing by how different the door looks in each shot.

I can’t WAIT to use this spot for more sessions. Thanks, Cait, for coming with me!! You look fabulous, I can’t wait to meet my new little niece or nephew in a couple of months.
