Samantha Expecting! {Phoenix Maternity Photographer}

The other week I had a blast at my maternity session.  Samantha was so much fun to hang out with!

Samantha is an amazing belly dancer, who recently shot a belly dancing instructional DVD.  (If you’re interested in lessons, visit her website to find out more details).  Throughout the session we used belly dancing as the main theme, which was a very special treat for me as a photographer.  I just love all the beautiful elements that Samantha incorporated into the photos.  The bright colorful scarfs, the outfits, the way she moved her body into these amazing poses…  it was awesome!

For part of our session, we climbed Papago Mountain before sunset.  I was stunned as Samantha scaled the mountain with ease, as I struggled to catch my breath.  She put me to shame!!  I swear I need to start working out.   But it was worth it because I just loved how the photos turned out.

Below are some of the inside “studio” photos we did in the beginning of the session.

Thanks Samantha for the awesome time!!
