When I photograph couples during maternity sessions I usually ask questions along the way. One, to get couples to relax and be comfortable. And two, I want to know about the tiny human they created so that I can “get to know him/her” before the birth day. During Adrienne and Mark’s maternity session, I asked some of those questions. Here were a few things I was very excited to learn about.

Mark is a huge Star Wars fan.
Their baby boy is named LUKE after Luke Skywalker!
His whole nursery is Star Wars themed.

I am also a fan of Star Wars. I grew up watching all the original movies with my brothers and even stood in line to go to the midnight showing of Episode I(on a school night and I was 13!).

I was super pumped to get to go to their house for a lifestyle newborn session and see the adorable themed nursery. But, more importantly, I got to meet sweet Luke. He has an amazing head of hair and awesome parents. During his session, he decided to stay awake almost the whole time. Which is perfectly fine since it was a lifestyle session…and that’s life! I think he almost looked at the camera more than some 1 year olds! :)

Mom had a cute YODA hat she wanted to use in the pictures. And since dad is a fire fighter, we took just a few with him in his jacket holding little Luke.
