The Cases - Aaron and Vanessa Case
{Hometown} Madison, Ms
{Event Site} Northbay Marina and Golf Course - Madison, MS
{Occasion} Baby Case Maternity Pictures
{Inspiration location} Aaron and I wanted our maternity pictures to really capture us as a family and a couple doing what we love to do! We picked the Marina and Golf Course because we spend most of our time out on the Reservoir or cruising around in the afternoons on our golf cart. We've lived in Northbay for almost 7 years now so it was easy to pick our favorite spots like the gorgeous old oak tree down by the pond on the neighborhood golf course and the channel behind our house that opens to the Reservoir.
{Theme} We wanted a “Southern Casual” feel to our photos. Our ultimate goal was to stay away from trendy and to be able to look back at these pictures in 20 years and not be get made fun of by our kids or be embarrassed about the crazy outfits or poses we were in. That's exactly why we LOVE Adam + Alli Photography! They are so creative and fun with their shots and style without making the pictures look staged and cheesy. Actually during the shoot Alli just whips out a bouquet of beautiful sunflowers to add a fun pop of color and just the right amount of “Southern” to the some of the canoe shots. It was perfect! We just LOVE A + A!!!
{Inspiration color scheme} I love Aaron in anything seersucker! He just has that sweet southern boy look and seersucker just tops it off, so we went with a couple of pops of seersucker with his outfit and Bird's hair bow and incorporated some timeless neutrals like gray and navy.
{Favorite event details} My favorite memory would be watching Aaron help prepare for the canoe part of the shoot. Aaron has been the best little daddy/husband during this pregnancy. He's so proud to be having a son and is always wanting to do things for me and make me happy- poor thing- whatever that may mean that day. Earlier that week I had mentioned that I thought a canoe for the photo shoot would be so pretty out in the water but we didn't have one. After I said that he pretty much made it his mission to find us a canoe. He stalked the marina and our waterfront neighbors' yards for days until he found the perfect one to ask to borrow. Before everything was said and done he had to outrun a giant snake and if that wasn't enough then he had to paddle the canoe we borrowed with an old wooden oar across the canal in the 100 degree temp twice just to be able to use it. You just had to be there to appreciate it! He worked so hard for that canoe but those are some of his favorite shots so he said it was totally worth it- thank goodness!
My favorite detail was being able to use the quilt my great grandmother made for my mom for her wedding present. She made each grandchild a quilt and gave it to them on their wedding day. Anybody that knows me knows I am a very sentimental person! Nanny is no longer with us, but I know how excited she would be that Aaron and I were about to have a baby and start our own family, so I wanted to find a way to include her somehow. It meant soooo much to me to be able to capture my family and future family decades later on that beautiful quilt she made because her family meant the world to her!
{Favorite part of planning} There really wasn't much to plan, Adam and Alli just make it happen! Alli and I talked some about places that were special to us and the “simple southern” look we were going for and they came in and worked their MAGIC like they always do!!!
{Favorite picture} I LOVE them all but I guess if I had to pick, the one of Bird resting her sweet little head on my belly. I can't believe they were able to make that picture happen! It just makes my heart melt because I know she and Baby Case are going to be best friends one day!!!
