This isn't James and Joanne's first photo session with Distinction Studio! In fact... exactly one year ago from the date we took these photographs, I was photographing their beautiful wedding! Check out their sneak peek from their wedding at this link! James and Joanne loved working with Distinction Studio so much I got to spend the day photographing them on their first anniversary! (WOW! What an honor!!!) This 1st Anniversary session was very special because the happy couple is also expecting their first little bundle of joy! Their baby son is due at the end of October... So, we had a 1st Anniversary/Maternity Session! Here is just a little sneak peek from the fabulous session we had! Photos were all taken at Arbor Crest Wine Cellars (the same place they tied-the-knot 1 year ago!)... Enjoy!!!

The framing of Joanne with the leaves was too perfect not to share! Then... as many of you know... I never complain when kisses are involved... so cute!
