Maybe it was the gorgeous weather or that love was clearly in the air or perhaps that Porsha (their cute Boston Terrier) came along for the ride, but this session was all sorts of fabulous! The charming small town of Chester was the perfect location for this fun maternity shoot. I’ve known Jerome and Erica for years (Jerome and I had driver’s ed class together in high school!), but we definitely bonded in a way we hadn’t before this shoot. As you can tell by the outdoor bare belly shots, I’m a little late with this post…ok very late! Thankfully the baby did not follow my lead and arrived just in time. Erica and Jerome have been enjoying the company of their healthy baby boy since Thanksgiving morning. I am so thrilled for them and can’t wait to meet their little guy in person! But in the meantime, here’s a look at our time together back in October:

Love the pictures! They make a beautiful couple, and the dog’s a cutie for sure :) I really love the lighting in the second set!
These shots are absolutely stunning! You are SO talented :)
I love this series! I especially like that they included their pup… I would do the same thing! :)
I am obsessed with the fact that Porsha was included with the pictures of Jerome and Erica – it shows that she’s a true part of the family.
P.S. Can I just say that you always choose the most quaint, charming, adorable locations for your photo shoots – I LOVE! :)
Beautiful Maddy! Now you have to make another session with the baby! And Porsha, of course.
gorgeous shots!!! I love the intimate ones where she is leaning up against him…and the one with Porsha’s face all up in your lens. kudos for her for showing her belly – I think it takes a brave woman to do that!!
What a gorgeous couple–congrats to them!!
Beautiful…. Absolutely beautiful:) Feels like I should have another one just for the photo shoot :) lol
These photos are beautiful! And your model is beautiful! That pregnant mama is cute as can be … and yay for their new bundle of joy! They definitely had a wonderful holiday season!
What a beautiful couple!
I can feel the love, you have a way with couples that make them look genuine and not saccharin. I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again, if I ever get hitched, you’re my photographer !
in addition to you shooting my million dollar wedding, you’ll do my maternity photos as well. just sayin’ ;)
Hi Maddy! Glad to hear your photography is going well! I love the colors in the first set, the magenta and teal is beautiful and so is the mama-to-be!
What a gorgeous couple. I know their itty bitty baby is going to be all sorts of perfection! : )
Fantastic photos, Maddy! Erica looks fabulous in that dress!
gorgeous images!!
Beautiful shots, Maddy . . . and I’m just gonna go ahead and “ditto” Nadette! :)
The photos are lovely, Maddy. I especially love the ‘bare belly’ ones in the field, and the dog is just too adorable.
You captured her beauty perfectly!! Love the ones with the dog too. :-)
Gorgeous session!!
