This May Be the Messiest Maternity Shoot We've Seen - but It's Awesome
When it rains, it pours, but one family didn't let that stop them from having the outdoor maternity photo shoot of their dreams. Jon and Brittany Barton and their two boys, Declan, 4, and Noah, 2, decided that they were going to celebrate their incoming bundle of joy in the coolest, messiest way: with a mud fight.
Elaine Baca of Lane B Photography knew that Brittany and her crew were outdoor people, so when it seemed like, at 38 weeks pregnant, she was going to settle on an indoor location after weeks of relentless rain in Waxahachie, TX, Elaine suggested something a little more unconventional. "They have a huge backyard which backs up to a field and I knew it had lots of muddy puddles, so I asked her what she thought about playing in the rain and ending with a mud fight," Elaine told POPSUGAR Moms. "I don't think she even hesitated, she said she trusted my vision and wanted to go for it!"
Because baby Matthew was coming any day - he was born just nine days after the shoot! - Elaine knew that they'd have to work quickly. Rather than a carefully posed shoot, she let the family have their fun in the mud and captured many candid and special moments for them to remember what their family was like at exactly this point in time.
"For me, photo sessions are all about preserving memories and making new ones," Elaine said. "With small children it's about remembering their ever-changing personalities and quirks that make them unique. I hope that more families consider doing documentary-style sessions with little to no posing. With this genre of photography, parents don't have to stress about getting their little ones to sit still and look at the camera and kids get to be kids while doing something everyone enjoys."
