Aubrey | Hampstead NC Maternity Session

When you get close to the end of your pregnancy, you really get tired. You’ve been carrying the weight around long enough and are seriously ready to get your movement and your body back. Plus, the heartburn! This can lead to some grumpiness and a whole lot of complaining. At least, that’s how I was toward the end of my pregnancy. And then there’s Aubrey. She builds tables, chases around her toddler, packs up a house and carries twins (YES, TWINS) – all with a contagious smile on her face. She’s amazing! At almost 35 weeks at the time of this session, she was active, happy, and glowing!

Hampstead NC Maternity Session

I found a little field just around the corner from her home. It was perfect. She didn’t have to go far and the light was beautiful there. Until that morning I woke up to the sound of a torrential downpour. We were supposed to meet that morning and we decided to just wait and see what happened with the rain. Well, like a dream, the clouds parted and the sun rays shown down on that pretty little field just in time for our session. Afterwards, we headed over to her home to take a few more. After the session, grey clouds covered Hampstead once again. I swear the sun came out just for her.
