Last month, I had the awesome opportunity to do my first maternity photo shoot with Heather and Chris Coy. You can see the images from that blog post here. The great thing about maternity sessions is that shortly afterwards, new life is welcomed into the world, and sometimes I have the joy of taking pictures of the baby. That was the case with Joshua Stephen, who was only 12 days old when we took these pictures. What an adorable little guy! Chris and Heather both have plenty of aspirations for their son – one of the most notable is Chris’ desire for another baseball player in the family tree. Heather was happy getting him dressed up in a tie – have to prepare him for the corporate world in case the baseball thing doesn’t work out, right? We enjoyed every moment of both photo sessions with the Coys and can’t wait to get to know Joshua as he grows up!
Watch out! There’s an “Off Duty Ninja” in the vicinity. Should this make me feel safer since I know where he is or more worried because he could attack at anytime?!
But seriously, how fun are Clayton and Kristen! You can tell that they love each other and really enjoy making each other laugh. When I told them to just “do their thing” and I would take pictures of them, they immediately started making funny faces at each other! I can’t wait to be the photographer at their wedding – it’s going to be awesome and a ton of fun. Congratulations to both of you!
My wife and I had the privilege to spend time with the Coys this weekend and take some pictures of the THREE of them. Heather is due in about 5 weeks! We’re so excited for them and can’t wait to meet the little one – they won’t find out if it’s a boy or a girl until birth. Chris and Heather’s love for each other and for the baby is very evident, and we know they will be great parents. Thanks to Heather’s parents for letting us use their beautiful home for this photo shoot – our first maternity session! Hopefully the baby likes burnt orange (Hook ‘Em)!
