Taniqua - Stunning in her 9th month...

The staff at the Clifton Inn in Charlottesville, VA were gracious to welcome me and this lovely expectant mama, Taniqua, onto their grounds in early December this year. Taniqua booked her session in the early fall and made it quite clear to me that she had every intention of braving the chilly temperatures to capture the joyful anticipation of her first baby's arrival. Thankfully, the weather did end up being favorable. Our noses didn't start to run until we were capturing the last frames, towards the end of our hour. :) Taniqua was truly a joy to work with--flexible, free, comfortable, oozing excitement... and I LOVE the name she and her husband have chosen for their precious baby girl (who I believe will be due 12/30!).

Mr. M. we missed you during this session. I hope you'll enjoy the photos of your beautiful, growing family. Blessings to all three of you!
