The Green is Coming

 

It may be Spring Break, but signs of spring have been slow to show here in South Texas. Though, signs of winter kinda never really showed up in the first place! While the girls were at a play date, I broke out my little N75 35mm camera and took some shots around our host's yard

While I still have QUITE a ways to go before I will ever off film in my sessions, I am just in love with the results. Spring will be here for a week or two and then we'll be headed in to full fledged summer. Excited to see what summer looks like on film.

Oh, and if you need some mama and baby goodness, head on over to The Fount Collective, they've featured some of their favorites from a recent Houston session.

Mama Nami

The weather the morning of Nami's session could not have made me more nervous.I arrived early and watched the last of the sunrise get swallowed up by thick clouds and held my breath as sprinkles tried their hardest to fall.

Nami arrived with her children and a peace and sweetness fell over the bay. The gentleness that this mother extends to her babies seeps out of their every pour. They were kind. Patient.  Polite. Outshining their photogenic looks was an overflowing abundance of gentle love. Eventually the spitty rain got the best of us and we packed it in.

Thank you so much, Nami, for sharing your beautiful family with me.

Mozi Giveaway

One of my goals this year was to be published in the incomparable photography magazine - Mozi. When I found out that they wouldn't be running their annual "Maternity" issue, my heart was in a puddle of self pitty.

BUT THEN they told me - Hey Mae, let's use some of those pretty belly pics of yours for this new thing we're doing - The Love Issue. And I was all - YA!

I was happy to contribute some of my very favorite images from last year along with a little snippet about how to include dads in maternity sessions. And to celebrate, Mozi was sweet enough to offer one of my fans a free digital copy of their own!
