"I'm literally floored about how good our maternity photos turned out!! Speechless! I wanted photos that really captured the real us in the real moment, not staged. She did not disappoint!! I am also very awkward in front of the camera and I haven't done a photoshoot before. So, I had no idea what I was doing. She walked me through the process, every step of the way!"
