Maternity: Christina + Tom | Atco NJ Maternity Photographer

Somehow I became friends with Christina on Facebook and not too long after I saw a posting from her that she was looking for a photographer to take her maternity photos. So, I shot her an email and eventually we set a date. After a slight hiccup due to Hurricane Irene, I finally got down to their house last Saturday for her session.

Sometimes, you show up to people's houses and well, it's weird. Without a face to face consultation, it's the first time we all meet. It has to be weird for them as well, here I am - a stranger - and I come strolling into someone's home. However, it couldn't have been more the opposite with Christina and Tom. I walked in, we started chatting - everything was cool and relaxed and it stayed that way throughout the shoot. At the end of the day, it felt like we were old friends who hadn't seen each other in a while. And, I'll tell you what, good energy produces good results.

Christina and Tom, thank you for welcoming me into your home and letting me document your journey. You are both beautiful people and I'm very much looking forward to meeting your little girl!

Here's a few shots from their session...
