A simultaneous representation of both the beauty and fragility of life. Here\u2019s to taking advantage of these fleeting times while they last.  Mindy had a maternity photography session scheduled here in Buffalo, NY a little later this month.   But something happened and I decided, the time is now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every once in a while an impulse decision leads to an awkward situation, but for me, never a regret.\u00a0 I can always rest easy knowing that I followed my gut, and maybe worst case scenario learned a lesson.\u00a0 So there I was this past Saturday night, resting after a long, beautiful and eventful wedding, thinking back on all the places we went and events I witnessed, and&#8230; well&#8230; I just wanted more from this one magnolia tree I spotted in Delaware Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I texted one of my favorite past clients, Mindy, way later at night than I should have.\u00a0 I had photographed Mindy&#8217;s engagement pictures, bachelorette party and wedding a few years back and she and I have become friends in the process, but not like, &#8220;I can text you in the middle of the night&#8221; friends.\u00a0 Whatever.\u00a0 I knew if I waited I would forget or get busy or whatever with other life stuff.\u00a0 So I texted and asked if we could bump up her maternity session a little bit.  I talked about the symbolism of the new life represented by the spring blossoms as a backdrop for the new life in Mindy&#8217;s belly&#8230; I don&#8217;t know it made sense in the moment.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being all pregnant and such, Mindy apparently doesn&#8217;t sleep much and replied right away!\u00a0 Next thing I know she&#8217;s trying on dresses and I&#8217;m recharging batteries and within a day we&#8217;re in Delaware Park in Buffalo making maternity photography magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I left the shoot feeling really great, like I had put extra work in and it had really paid off!\u00a0 But then came the real payoff.  I got a text from Mindy.\u00a0 It was a little extra, &#8220;thank you&#8221; because the session made HER feel so good about herself, that it was a boost she needed, stuff like that.\u00a0 Trust me, this was a 100% selfish idea on my part, making Mindy feel great was not my purpose.\u00a0 But boy do I love when things just come together like that.\u00a0 When impulses turn in to these magical little snippets in time and everyone is better for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#8aabb2\">Without further ado, some maternity photography of Mindy at
