Kerrie & Matt: Maternity
Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 9:41 AM
Matt & Kerrie have known each other nearly their whole lives. They were babysat together when they were young and then Kerrie's family started attending Matt's church. They're long long time friends turned husband and wife and now they're expecting an addition to their family.
When Matt called me a few weeks ago to talk about scheduling a maternity session I was was THRILLED! As I've mentioned before, maternity sessions hold a special place in my heart. [my audience of Mom/Doula friends rejoice ;] hahaha] When Matt & I were talking about shoot location ideas we were mainly talking about parks when he said, "I know it's unrealistic, but we really love Disneyland" I love that being a Disneyland passholder makes nothing unrealistic. It was settled. We were going to Disneyland!
I can't even explain how much fun I had with these two. It was like photographing friends I'd known for years even though we'd just met in person that morning. We laughed, laughed, and laughed through the entire session. I'm excited to see what life has in store for these two and can't wait to meet their little boy coming in January!
Matt & Kerrie's little boy is going to be named Andrew. They've already bought this Woody stuffed toy for him. SO cute!
One thing I love about these two is that going to Disneyland for them isn't about rides. It's about walking around or sitting on Main Street with a cup of coffee ready to spend the afternoon people watching. That's what I love about Disneyland! As we were walking from Frontierland to New Orleans Square Matt pointed out that this bench was "their" spot. Of course we stopped for photos.
A Christmastime Disneyland tradition with them, is to stop and get gingerbread cookies so of course we did that too :D

Honey I LOVE THIS - you used so many parts of the park in a bright and amazing way! You HAVE To submit this to some Disney blogs for editorial consideration!
You are an AMAZINGLY gifted photographer. Your pictures of my son, daughter-in-law, and first grandson truly brought tears to my eyes. What a treasure!! I have a school librarian credential--I say give up the library job because you have a true gift!! Thank you SO much!!
