Cutting it Close!

Yesterday I had a maternity/mom-dog photo session with a good friend (and talented fellow photographer). The weather was nice, dry, some sun, some clouds and comfortable temperatures… compared to the day before and today…it was the perfect day! Rian looks great…her due date is this weekend and I was amazed at how she moved around and how wonderful she looked…this is her first and she was excited and nervous…all at the same time! I also photographed Rian with her dog, Tucker, who has cancer and she wanted some photos with him while he was still doing okay. Tucker is a really sweet dog, very affectionate (I can vouch for that from the big, wet kisses he gave me!) and quite gentle. My granddaughter “helped” out and Tucker was wonderful with her. Here are some shots from our session…

And, when I said cutting it close…that was because this evening I got a call from Rian and she delivered this afternoon…so 24 hours after the session, she was holding her new son in her arms! Wow…I’m just glad she didn’t go into labor during the session…but then again, she was talking about what to do to “encourage” labor, so maybe the session was the key! Who knows…I’m just very excited and happy for Rian, her husband and their new son! Congrats!!!
