Andrea + Mike are having a baby!

Monday, March 24th, 2008

You may remember Andrea + Mike since they were married in 2005-and were recently featured in the Knot magazine
(you can see this on the press page of our website: www.jessica-johnston.com).

They are soon expecting little baby Rocco-in May. We wanted to do a session that was modern just like them-and stay away from the “pregnant woman in gauze” look. :)

Isn’t Andrea the most gorgeous pregnant woman you have ever seen?

Stay tuned for a year in the Life of Rocco-we will be doing many sessions with him this year-and we cannot wait to meet him and capture his first year of life.

If you are interested in a year session for your newborn-please e-mail us-the cost is $450 for 3 sessions (normally $650 a la carte). Maternity sessions start at $250.

Enjoy!

love the warm, vintage feel to this one (a theme for us lately!):

this is my favorite from their session-I love the composition-a little bit of Andrea’s face and the hands on the tummy-it creates a nice visual line:

amanda + matthew (the real blog post)

So enough with teasers-on to Amanda + Matthew’s official slideshow + blog sneak peek!

We truly loved getting to know them both-and we really had a blast with them on their very snowy, very windy michigan wedding day. We adore what we were able to capture for them. Enjoy!!

and there is a LOT more than just the photos below in their wedding slideshow here:

I just adore these two images of Amanda (can you tell she used to be a model?):

we wanted these to have a very Hitchcock ‘esque feeling about them-very very vintage + cinematic:
