Meet this beautiful family with baby Charlie on the way. Tonya makes pregnancy look even more beautiful than it already is! She’s about to deliver any day now and look how good she looks! Abby and Graci, which are Tonya and Jacobs first 2 little girls were such sweet angels during the session. Took those precious faces a few minutes to warm up to us but once they did boy did their personalities come out to play! We believe Jacob is going to have his hands full because baby #3 is a little girl as well.

We can’t wait to meet baby Charlie! We are sending thoughts and prayers up for Tonya that she has a quick and safe delivery!

Happy Monday! Skye here, I want you to meet Eric, Stephanie and their baby bump. Eric and Stephanie are fun loving, sweet, adoring, and quirky in their own way. They are one of my most favorite couples i’ve had the chance to work with. For real though! I have known Stephanie since we worked together waaay back in the day at the good ole Olive Garden. Yup, That’s right folks. We used to sling bread sticks and toss salads! That was 8+ years ago though. Wow! How times have changed. I now have a baby, Clair and Stephanie isn’t far off from holding their wee little bundle of baby in her arms.

When Stephanie had contacted us about shooting baby bump photos I got all excited! I was seriously giddy inside. Stephanie and Eric are that couple that you feel like you’ve known for forever even if you haven’t. On my way to shoot their photos at Harrison Bay it looked like it was going to come a torrential down pour. Luckily it DIDN’T! Thank the lord. But I am super glad it was over cast because the sky looked awesome in the photos.

Once parked Stephanie and Eric jumped out and we got things started. I’ve actually never seen a pregnant girl move so fast! Not even myself back in the day. Stephanie was saying she was having a bad hair day because of this crazy January weather here in TN. It was about 70 degrees last Saturday. I’ll say this much though… I wish my hair looked like hers on a bad day. She looked like she just fell out of a hair magazine or off the red carpet! Simply Beautiful. In some of these I personally think she resembles Jennifer Aniston. You’ll see! Stephanie is so fun! I wish I could hang out with her on a daily basis. Shes also pretty artsy herself. Stephanie makes scarfs! Take a look here.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/Scarvesbystephy  She’s pretty darn cool if you ask me.

Eric, her other half warmed up to me after about 10 minutes or so. Guys usually don’t understand the importance of “Maternity” sessions. He was a bit quiet at first but I can be a lot to take in at first so i won’t give him to much grief about that. He was a good sport. Eric was the perfect model husband, cooperated and did great! Thanks Eric! )

Stephanie and Eric have such a fun relationships. There was always smiling, joking and laughing going on! Their sweet baby boy sure is coming into a wonderful home. Congrats Stephanie & Eric. I can’t wait to meet him! Oh and I’m not saying his name because I forgot if it is a secret or not.

Oh and there’s a photo we took of a fortune they opened a few days before the shoot from a fortune cookie and it couldnt have been more fitting!

Enjoy….

Hey, it’s Dani here.  Well, we have a very important announcement to make!

Our beloved Skye has a baby bump.  We (I say “we” as if we are all pregnant!) are expecting baby girl sometime in early July!  Right now we will just call her CBS, those are her initials…the name is top secret.  We are so excited, we can hardly contain ourselves!  We already know that baby CBS is going to be photographed SO so much, but if she is anything like her momma…she won’t mind too much.  

Skye had her first baby shower thrown for her by Kevin’s sweet Mom, Sherri.  The day of the shower was a beautiful warm spring morning…the weather was PERFECT.  Sherri hosted such a laid back quaint little baby shower, it was almost like girls friends just getting together and having lunch…except for all the amazing gifts that were given.  Skye got a little assistance in opening her presents by pup dog Box 2 (photos below).  Let’s just say that Skye, Kevin, and baby girl CBS are blessed.  We can’t wait to meet her!

Meet baby Heath. He’s such a pretty baby! So flawless, So soft. Now we know where the expression “Soft as a baby’s bottom” comes from. Baby’s like Heath! We showed up at their house on a Friday morning for Heaths session and boy was he content being at home. He didn’t make a peep, Just let us turn him and pose him at whatever way we needed.

Then he got a little hungry so we decided to take a small break before doing his photos with mom and dad. We took some of his room. It was so peaceful in there. Just like a baby’s room should be! We also let Brooke and Richard, Heaths momma and daddy lay and roll around on the bed with him for some cute family shots. We are so happy for the Henderson family and their newest member of the family. Congradulations Brooke and Richard!

Hey, it’s Dani here. I am so excited to show you a preview of my friend Melissa’s  maternity session.  Melissa and I have been friends a long time, we met when we were both in school and working at Macaroni Grill serving tables.  It was like 10 years ago (we are getting old!).  Since then lots of things have happened.  We both got through school, quit serving tables, went through break ups together, new boyfriends, new jobs, had more than a few girls night/wine nights over the years.  Melissa met Joe (who I approved of totally!) and got hitched, moved away to Atlanta, got 2 precious dogs, and now they are expecting their first baby.  When she said she wanted me to do some maternity photos, I was thrilled.  Then she said she was bringing her fur babies Blaze and Roscoe, who I had never met, I was super excited!   Those two pups are going to be great big brothers!

Here is a little sneak peek of what we captured of this lovely little family.  Congratulations guys, you all are going to be phenomenal parents…and I can’t wait to meet baby Asher!

We love babies.  We love their little fat rolls, how they coo, how they stretch when they wake up, their teeny tiny little fingers and toes.  We love taking photos of newborns even more.  So, in the spirit of loving all things baby…we are offering 20% off our sitting fee if you book your baby session in the month of February.  The only catch?  The babes have to be under one year old.  :)

To make this offer more inciting, we are going to show you some of our favorite baby shots from the past year.

Are you ready to book your sweet little baby session?  Email us at bloomchattanooga@gmail.com or call us at the studio at 423-531-7923!

Richard and Brooke are expecting a baby soon. Brook is so cute! We think she should be a pregnant model! Don’t you think so too? Just adorable. She’s all belly.  You can’t really even tell shes carrying baby until she turns around. We just love it!

Richard and Brooke’s chemistry between the 2 of them just amazed us. We would direct them into a “pose” and then they just knew how to add their own touch to it and personalize it. It was so easy giving them direction during the session.

We can’t wait until Brooke delivers baby. They weren’t 100% sure on a name yet so that is why we haven’t  mentioned one in the blog so far. But when baby does arrive we just bet it is going to be the cutest little thing!

Meet Jennifer, Brian, Chloe, Daisy and their sweet  baby bump  Brooklyn. We haven’t done a maternity session in a few months so when I say we were looking forward to this session I REALLY mean it!  Besides getting married we here at Bloom think that finding out your expecting a new family member is one of the most exciting days of your life!

Jennifer and Brian are going to be such amazing parents, I can already tell just by the way they talk about her and the things they have gotten her, along with the small details of how they decorated Brooklyns room.  Brian and Jennifer are such good people. It just warms our hearts here at bloom to know a little girl is going to be born into such a loving welcoming home.

Chloe and Daisy which are Jennifer and Brians first 2 “furry children” are pretty excited to have a new baby sister as well. So of course they had to get into some of the photos too!
