How great is it that we live in an area where mild, sunny day winter sessions are possible? It was just one such gorgeous day when I photographed Stephanie & Koen's maternity session in Norfolk's lovely Freemason District.

Stephanie and Koen met in Montreal while in college. Koen is from Belgium and she is Canadian. They dated for about 6 years before marrying. During that time, they lived in Montreal and Antwerp before moving to Norfolk.

They are both lovers of the great outdoors and also great coffee! They enjoy spending time running, skiing, cycling, ice skating and exploring Norfolk with their first baby, Hunter, a very well behaved Brittany Spaniel. (Isn't he handsome?)

Stephanie and Koen are looking forward to welcoming their first child early this spring and wanted to some maternity photos to share with family and friends back home. We spent an afternoon making photos along the downtown waterside area, to incorporate some of their favorite Norfolk scenes.

I lived in Norfolk for many years, and there are so many great spots to explore. I really love shooting in the urban downtown area and in the arts district for a fun change of pace.
