Catrina's Maternity Session

Catrina is one gorgeous mama to-be. She is so happy, so full of life! I absolutely loved doing her maternity pictures at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis yesterday. It was hot, humid, and a true July day - but - nothing was going to get in our way of having a beautiful session!

"Before you were born I carried you under my heart. From the moment you arrived in this world until the moment I leave it, I will always carry you in my heart."

This family simply radiates happiness! :)
