Kim and I met up with my good friends Shannon and Dave (the first wedding I photographed on my own) this past weekend to finally take some maternity portraits. We had this scheduled a few times and the ridiculous amounts of snow in the area forced us to cancel our previous attempts. That turned out to be a blessing since we were still able to go out and shoot in the snow at Batsto Village and it was one of the warmest days in weeks. We started out at their house and took a few shots of the new baby’s room which Dave and Shannon created. They own their own construction company and specialize in high end trim work which was noticeable by the amazingly detailed room. We took a few more portraits around the house in different rooms and then we hung out for little while waiting for the light to get better.

After catching up for a bit we all headed over to Batsto Village just outside Hammonton, NJ. It was a perfect day for photography there, warm, sunny, and snowy. Shannon had the idea for the picture with the umbrella which I really dig. We walked around a bit and just worked at a few different locations all while enjoying the gorgeous light that afternoon. Kim and I had a great time photographing them and we’re looking forward to the baby coming and more photos to be taken then.

We wish you a happy healthy baby Shannon and Dave and thanks for having us be your photographers. Looking forward to more great times!
