Dan and Jess are both clients we have had the pleasure of photographing in the past. Dan is a personal trainer specializing in kettle bell training and Shawn photographed him leading a class for Dan’s website and promotional materials. We met his wife, Jess, when we first opened the Aberdeen studio. She came in to have some photos taken of her working with the kettle bells.
For this session, we were able to see them in a completely different capacity…parents and a family. Jess is pregnant with their second child and came in to the Aberdeen studio for maternity portraits. They also brought along another family member we had yet to meet, little miss Andrea, their almost two-year-old daughter. She is a total sweetheart, lots of smiles and very active. As active as she was, we managed to get her to cooperate a little more when we introduced the Smarties candies! She also loved the blocks we had, so much in fact, that this photo was completely unplanned, but completely captures Andrea’s wonderful little spirit and gentleness.

Eventually, Andrea wanted to be in every picture that we were taking. She is so photogenic and was such a joy to photograph.

This family is so incredibly fun and easy to work with. It really doesn’t feel like you are working when you get to spend time with people who are as easy-going as Jess and Dan. The three of them are a beautiful little family and baby number 2 will, no doubt, be a great addition to this family and loved tremendously.

Jess and Dan radiate happiness and pride as they await the arrival of their new baby. And it was an honor for us to be able to capture this in their maternity photos.

As a way to spark interest for Andrea in being in more of the pictures toward the end of the session, we brought out some fun things and let her play a little. These were the results.

Dan, Jess, Andrea, and Baby are a family we look forward to working more with in the future. And we are definitely looking forward to meeting Baby sometime early this fall!


Here is a quick video I put together of their session:
