Eric & Janelle | Warrenton, Virginia Maternity Photographer

No doubt Eric and Janelle will be amazing parents!  This was my first time meeting them, but there was something very obvious during this shoot together. I’m not kidding, animals fled to them! I didn’t realize it until the end of the session, but Eric gained a new friend right when we arrived at the farm. In fact, there were five dogs that immediately ran up to them! I didn’t know whose dogs they were, but I thought it was comical that some of them wanted to be a part of the family photos. 😉 One of the dogs stuck around for the remainder of the session and hung out with Eric. I then turned around to see 10-15 cows standing at the fence line looking at Janelle. Haha! I guess they wanted her attention next. 😉 I have always heard that animals have an instinct for pregnancies.

Thank you Eric and Janelle for a great time through the heat! I know your soon-to-be-little one is going to love you both!!! 🙂 CONGRATS!!!
