A few days ago I headed down to DC for Kendria’s Maternity Photographs. I was so excited to meet Kendria, her husband Ed, their son Breon,… and baby Mason (He’s the one in her belly…). And I am excited because I will actually get to see them again this June as they will be guests at one of the weddings that I am shooting.

On a side note, Kendria has a wedding planning business, so you might want to check out her website and blog if you are looking for a wedding planner for your upcoming wedding!  A Planner makes such a big difference on your big day, and I highly recommend having one… even if you only hire a day planner.

Kendria and her family were absolute troopers… it was REALLY cold…like freezing cold! But they braved it and we walked around with our pink noses… and frozen fingers…

We started with a few photos at the Occidental Restaurant which is actually where Kendria and Ed met… She was  a hostess and he was a server… and then we went to a few places that they used to sneak away to on their breaks (they didn’t tell the people that they worked with they were dating….) for some “quality time” (aka. making out???) Anyways…. below is one of the places that they used to hang out on break. There is usually an ice rink, but it wasn’t there this year…

So cute! And Kendria looks awesome!  She is all baby…

Here are a few photographs taken inside of the Occidental Restaurant… We had to go in and thaw out…. so we rotated between being inside and outside…

Love the light in these next couple….

The whole family… trying to stay warm… Enjoying one another’s company and the DC Christmas Tree in the background.Love the sky…

This is another one of their “spots” that is connected to the Willard Hotel…

This is my favorite photo of the day…. LOVE the light…  Kendria looks beautiful and I love the winter feel….Thanks Kendria, Ed, Breon, and Baby Mason! You were such a joy to work with!
