Hot Outside, Haute Inside

I had three portrait sessions on Saturday and because it was so hot outside, I was very glad that the first two were inside my studio where it was nice and cool. My first session was with Alaina who is very close [less than 2 weeks] from having her first bundle of joy and sleepless nights arrive. I type sleepless nights because neither of my daughters slept all night for many months [as I remember it]. This was an awesome maternity session. First, Alanina's and my mutual friend Kelly made a surprise visit and brought this slinky little dress that I'm sure she wears clubbing (making guys seriously jealous of her soon to be husband, Wes). Normally I would not be too excited about a using a party dress in a maternity session, but Alaina looked AMAZING in it as you can see here.



Here is a portrait of Alaina showing off one of her tattoos. Alaina reminds me of a pretty famous movie star, especially in this picture. Can you guess who it is?



As many amazing images as we made on Saturday, this has to be my favorite. To me, this embodies all the emotion and love that a mother must feel for her child during those long months of pregnancy.



Alaina was so easy to work with, which made sense when her mom explained she had modeled in the past. With Alaina's amazing posing, incredible outfits and movie star looks [have you figured out who she looks like yet] it may have been hot outside, but it was definitely haute inside my studio.
