I love doing maternity sessions. I've noticed that when you tell a pregnant woman to close her eyes and relax, she immediately falls into a very gracious state, as if even two seconds of rest should be relished, and treasured. A genuinely placid look always transpires. You just have to be ready.

The Maine State House is the state capitol of the State of Maine. Construction on the Classical Revival building began in 1829 and was completed in 1832, one year after Augusta became the capital of the state. Built using Maine granite, the State House was based on the design of the Massachusetts State House (Maine was formerly part of Massachusetts, and became a separate state in 1820). The building's original architect was Charles Bulfinch of Boston.
The architectural firm Brigham & Spofford designed an 1890-91 addition to the structure, and G. Henri Desmond designed a 1910 addition. On the east side of the State House, across State Street, is the 20-acre Capitol Park, part of the city's original land grant to the state for the capitol complex. It includes landscape features designed by the landscape architectural firm of the Olmsted Brothers (John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.).
The property was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It also contributes to the Capitol Complex Historic District, which was listed in 2001.
Augusta is a quaint small city located on the Kennebec River in the south-central part of Maine. With roughly 19,000 inhabitants, it is the third smallest state capital in the United States, after Pierre and Montpelier. It also serves as the seat of Kennebec County.
