Oh how I adore Magen!  She is an amazing photographer close to Charlotte, NC who contacted me a couple of years ago to photograph she and her husband together.  We have kept in touch and have shot together a few times since and she’s always such an inspiration and SO funny.  They both are and that makes sense since they’re both actors.

The last time she contacted me though she said they were having a little baby girl and she wanted to know if I’d be interesting in shooting her maternity session.  UM, YES!  Interested didn’t even begin to describe it!  I was excited, over the moon happy for them, honored, nervous, smitten, etc.  We actually shot twice since our first shoot was during a huge downpour that never seemed to stop.  Being a natural light photographer means taking a gamble with mother nature and afternoon thunderstorms are a pretty frequent event in North Carolina. The rain finally lifted at the very end of our shoot but I wasn’t happy with the photos and Magen being a photographer herself (thank God!!) understood my concern. I couldn’t give them anything but my absolute best and they agreed to come back once again (thank you, again!!) for a do-over. This time? They totally made this shoot theirs and blew it out of the water!  The love between these two is so obvious that it feels contagious.  The amount of fun they can have together and how much they can make each other and everyone else laugh should be illegal.  They are going to be amazing parents to baby Kennedy in just a few weeks and I can’t wait to meet her!  I adore you guys and thank you for allowing me to capture such a precious time in your life.  Magen, you are still just as stunning as the first day I met you!  Yall are going to be the best parents ever and I can’t wait to photograph you as a bigger family next time!
