Suzanne’s Maternity Shoot!

I had the pleasure of meeting Suzanne and her husband at Deanna and Tom’s wedding and I was so thrilled when she got in touch to do a maternity shoot. Her husband, Gary, runs and ad agency but is also an avid world traveler.  We talked a bit at the wedding about some of his future travels but at the time of this shoot, he traveling in one of the “Stans” (Sorry, I can never get them straight!)  When Suzanne said “We should photograph at our place, I think you would find it interesting”, I definitely was not expecting the absolute wonderland of photo opportunities that I found.  I guess that Gary, along side with being a world traveler, is also an avid collector of pun-filled Americana kitch – each room in their home has a different theme – from the full saloon bar, to the airstream on top of their home, to a collection of vintage cars within the premises!  I’ve seen this kind of thing attempted before, but never done this well…..because in addition to all the nostalgia, each room was built so beautifully and artfully, that it all felt very livable and warm.  This place will most definitely be a museum some day!  I was going to post this earlier and then I remembered that the photos were a suprise for her husband.  Happy Father’s Day!
