Rainy and Beautiful Maternity Session in Washington DC

Ohh, do I have something beautiful to share today! I'm already adding Luz and Derrick's Washington, DC session to the list of favorites. I know it's early, but it's completely necessary. Not only did these two brave drizzly weather, but they did it all in fancy attire. They didn't let the crowd, the rain, or the many steps deter them from being super models.

Trying to find the words to sum up this session is really, really difficult. I never thought that when Luz sent me an Instagram message back in January that all of this wonderfulness would come from it. I mean, when the conversation first starts, it's just two people getting to know one another. It isn't until the location is picked and the welcome hugs are dished out that you get an idea that something great is on it's way. Seeing Luz and Derrick fully embrace the chilly weather was the first check in the "this is gonna be awesome" category :P. 

Meeting up with these two was a total day maker. They are incredibly lovely, friendly, up for anything. The moments of them two being close, cradling baby bump, and giggling at one another completely melted my heart. Luz and Derrick are the type of couple that, once you see them, you immediately want to cuddle close to your own partner. They have the power to make people happy and full of joy. I am so ridiculously glad that we got to meet these two. Now their trip to Panama for their baby shower will be even sweeter with the gorgeous memories of this session!

PS: I will never ever doubt in the magic of rain. Seriously, it's perfect. If the couple, family, or senior you're with has an open mind, you're in for fabulousness. For real, it could be the difference between letting the rain own the session or you owning it and creating something magnificent. It also helps when you are visiting a packed downtown location and want to minimize crowds. No one wants to get rained on for some odd reason :P.

Enjoy their Washington DC maternity session!
