When Megan reached out and mentioned she wanted her maternity photos at her house, this is not what I had pictured in my head. The rolling hills and mountain view’s made for the most photogenic location. This Snowy West Virginia Maternity Session was my first session of 2022 and was the perfect start to set the tone of the year. This glowing Momma is expecting not 1 but 2 babies in the next few months!!
When I was preparing for Megan and Adam’s maternity session, Megan mentioned I would most likely loose cell phone service when I headed towards Paw Paw, West Virginia. I won’t lie, it freaked me out! I studied Google Maps, wrote down directions and realized how long it’s been since I’ve had to do directions the “old fashioned way”. I was even going to print out a map until I realized it is 2022 and I don’t have a printer.
I found Megan and Adam’s home with no GPS and I was super proud of myself! When I arrived, I was greeted by their doggies was able to take a tour of their home to prepare for when their twins come in a few months. We then drove around their photogenic property in the snow and took photos around their land. They pointed out homes (which were all their family who live along the same road), their cows, and we managed not to get stuck in the snow!
Megan and Adam are expecting twin girls!! I am looking forward to heading their way again and capturing the sweetest lifestyle newborn photos of their growing family.
See a few of my favorite images of their snowy West Virginia maternity session below.

Every year, fall mini sessions are a huge hit with families! They’re the perfect way to update your annual family portraits and get beautiful images for Christmas cards.
