The Stingeries: Maternity Pictures! :-)

When Jason and I decided we were going to Cozumel for our "babymoon" we thought it would be a great place to take maternity photos! I started researching and emailing photographers in the Cozumel and Cancun area and was really impressed with Miguel and his company Cozumel Images. We told Miguel we'd like to do a two hour session and he suggested doing one hour in the morning and another in the evening to get pictures at multiple locations and including the sunset. He was so helpful and accommodating that we knew we'd made a good decision!

On Monday during our trip, we met him and his wife Fabio, at a beach club to get some shots. That evening we met back up with Miguel (assisted this time by his two kids in high school) for sunset photos. They listened to our input and made sure to take some shots that were similar to ones we'd pulled from Miguel's website and Pinterest that we really loved.

Our friend Marianne is an amazing photographer from our church in Houston with her own company, Charade Photography. I've always wanted her to take pictures of us after seeing so many amazing ones of our church family and their little ones. It was great to take advantage of her skills and get some maternity pictures using props and a completely different scenery than our ones in Cozumel. She suggested Terry Hershey Park (a place I am all too familiar with from so many marathon training runs!) because she'd found a fantastic cluster of bluebonnets. I'm so excited with how the bluebonnet pictures turned out and they were very Texas, which is great since little Madison was conceived in the Lone Star State.

We couldn't be more excited about how all of the photos turned out! Below are some of our favorites, but you can see all of the pictures on my Facebook page here. (You can view the pictures even if you don't have a Facebook account.)

In addition, Miguel put together an awesome video with shots from our session. Amazing!! :-)
