There are lot of things in this world that make me happy. One of those things, I recently discovered, is the pure excitement, panic and anticipation that two people feel when the due date of their first child is swiftly approaching. Jes and Steve’s story is no different. I was grateful when I was asked to shoot this couple since they’re near and dear to my heart. I have been just as excited, eager and happy as them the past 9 months waiting to meet their new little boy.

On the day of our shoot, baby Coleman was dancing around mom’s belly, as he had been for months, perfectly content with being in front of the camera. Jes and Steve were fun subjects to photograph too since life is too short to be taken too seriously for these two.

During Hurricane Sandy, on October 29, Coleman decided he was ready for the limelight and Jes and Steve welcomed their healthy and happy son into the world. At a whopping 9 pounds, 22 inches, he is definitely potential Rugby player material like his dad.

Check back soon for newborn shots of the little guy! Until then, enjoy Jes and Steve’s maternity shoot.
