Many of you may recognize this gorgeous woman from almost exactly a year ago. Her wedding was a gorgeous beachfront affair that has left me breathless.We did her maternity session a few months ago, seaweed still clinging to her wedding dress, and have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of her second son ever since.
She birthed her sweet boy naturally and the glow and joy she had in the following weeks was just irrepressible. She was effervescent!
From Amberlee: "Motherhood is not something I ever saw myself in. I had a hard time with wrapping my head around this emotion and new life to come.
When my son was 15 months old My now husband and I were married on the beach. Mae was there to capture every moment. My favorite, was the image she got of me nursing my son. I saw the image and all it's glow, and for the first time saw motherhood in myself. The comfort, love and growth was all right there captured from her lens. I was awe struck and remain that way each time I see the image.
Her talent is effortless it seems. She was made by god to see women in motherhood the way they should see themselves everyday. I felt overjoyed the morning she came to my home to capture me, my full round belly, and my son again. I cried when she sent me the images. I cried because I've felt pain, depression and like I haven't been doing enough for my first son through this pregnancy. The natural light she got from our bedroom glowed off my face in only the way a true artist could find it. My sons eyes glittered when she caught the image of him smiling at me holding him over his soon to be little brother in my belly.
I can keep going on the emotions I get from not only the pictures she's taken of my family, but of others too. Looking at her work, I know it does all the talking for me. You won't regret your time with Mae, and you certainly won't regret your captured emotions. "
Thank you over and over again, Amberlee, for always being so venerable with me. You are a precious gem.
