At 39 weeks pregnant, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get any maternity photos done. Especially with all the rain, we've had the last few weeks, but somehow by the grace of God we did it!

I originally had planned for a much different shoot theme and had wanted a very strong black and white shoot with uptown Charlotte in the background. However, social distancing had other plans. Much like my nursery plans, I had to pivot, but I think what we came up with was beautiful and heartfelt.

I really wanted these maternity photos, not for myself but for Cashton. I wanted to be able to look back and enjoy Cash's last few days as an "only child" while celebrating baby Strager #2, and I feel like the lavender fields were the perfect place to do that.

Here is a look at our Catrina Earls Photoshoot from yesterday.
