Julie | Maternity Session

I met up with Julie and her sweet family a couple of weeks ago for her maternity session, and y'all, it was one of my favorite sessions to date!! 

When Julie first emailed me, she told me that she really wanted fall colors in her photos. Up until the week of her session, the leaves really hadn't been changing around here, and I was getting nervous! (The leaves changed SO late here this year!!)  I scoped out a few locations, and then I found one that had the perfect 'fall' feel! I LOVE the rich fall colors in these images! 

I met Julie, Brandon and their daughter for a sunrise session, because we knew the light would be beautiful! I've also found that often times young kiddos do better in the morning when they're 'fresh' versus towards the end of the day for a sunset session! It was a little bit chilly when we got started, but as soon as the sun popped up over the mountains, it was perfect! 

I had such a great time getting to know Julie and her familyand I'm looking forward to spending some more time with them when they welcome their baby girl into the world next month! 

Julie, you're stunning!! 

I love the light in these images!
