Maternity photoshoot with Tamisha, Vince & Teagan

Three-year-old Teagan is VERY excited about the imminent arrival of her new sibling. So much so, that she’s insisted on showing her nursery friends, pulling up mum’s T-shirt to show off her baby bump and declaring, “I’m going to have a baby sister!”

To help get ready, Teagan has been putting her doll in a pram and pushing it around the house. She also can’t wait to help get things when baby needs changing.

Mum Tamisha is also very excited for her new baby’s arrival, although she’s hoping she gets to finish work and get a week of relaxing in before the little one arrives!

Tamisha had a maternity photoshoot when she was pregnant with Teagan, on a cold January day in Virginia, US. The very next day, Teagan was born so let’s hope this baby stays put a little longer after this photoshoot!

There’s still lots to do – washing all the new baby’s clothes, getting the hospital bag ready – so that extra time will come in handy.

Whenever baby arrives, both Tamisha and her husband Vince feel ready and confident, thanks to their experiences parenting Teagan.

Vince thinks Tamisha’s greatest strength as a parent is her resilience; while Tamisha admires how caring and protective Vince is.

Teagan already has such a big personality emerging (“Including quite a bit of sass!”, her mum told me) and is into everything: running, riding her scooter, dance classes, swim classes and everything Disney and princess-related.

And today was the perfect opportunity for both Teagan and her mum to get dressed up and celebrate the excitement and anticipation of baby’s imminent arrival.

For little Teagan, that day can’t come soon enough!

After her maternity photoshoot with me Tamisha said:

“Amazing experience! Sarah did a great job capturing my vision for maternity shoot. She offered great ideas and even assisted with the color scheme and clothing items. She kept my three year old engaged and made my husband smile/laugh which is no easy feat. We felt relaxed the entire time and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend her and we are looking forward to our newborn shoot with her!”
