lashelle + john: maternity

Untitled-8
Last Saturday, I traveled to Charlottesville and took some maternity photos for two of my dearest friends. Lashelle is a photographer based in Durham, North Carolina, and I loved meeting she and John back in the town where we all went to college. Lashelle and John are so fun to be around! Our session included dancing (as seen below) and lots of laughter. I can't wait to meet their new baby boy in January!!

This picture probably isn't a fair representation, but Lashelle and John have incredible dancing skills. I'm sure their baby is going to have serious rhythm!

I was definitely having a love affair with the light in this area of the Downtown Mall...

So sweet.

I think this is my absolute favorite image from our shoot.

Before we finished, I had to shoot John in front of the wall too...

Lashelle is probably the only person I know who would completely rock a black dress with high-heeled knee-high boots for her maternity shoot - she is so stylish! :) So beautiful and so exciting for them!! Congratulations again you guys!!

I love love love them! Thanks so much Kris. It was tough to be on the other side of the camera, but you made it so much fun. Thanks for your beautiful and funky perspective. I love the "urban" setting of the Downtown Mall, it makes me feel like I still have some style even though I'm pregnant. Thanks again!

Kristen these are PERFECT!! I love seeing Shell laughing. And the one of Shell & John dancing is so fun. I am so glad to see some sweet pics of John & Shell together. That's the downside of being a photographer...you always end up taking pictures instead of being in them. You did a great job Kris! Shell--deliver that baby already so that I can kiss him on the head.
Love
Aunt Leah
