Sauvie Island Maternity Session

Excited to share this maternity session. I love toddlers at maternity shoots! They add so much energy and help everyone relax.

I have been so lucky to be able to document this beautiful mama for all three of her pregnancies. This time she is expecting her first little girl, and I could not be more excited to meet her. Maternity sessions are one of my favorite things to photograph, and I especially love when toddlers are involved to make it even more special.

I spent a warm summer evening with this beautiful family, as they were getting very near to meeting the newest member of their family. She was born not long after this session, and I cannot wait to meet her. 

Waiting For Viola

Sometimes when a friend gets pregnant I secretly try to send strong mental messages that they want photos done by me. When I heard Bethany and Gabe were expecting I immediately sent out my super power photo vibes and apparently they worked. I was so excited to see them and capture this time in their lives. I was also nervous because oh my goodness Bethany is glowing and I wanted to make sure I did her justice. Hugo came along and they got to do some baby product test driving with his stroller and carseat. I think Gabe is a natural! I am very excited to meet Viola soon. 

The Crisman Bump :: Lifestyle Maternity Session :: Hillsboro, OR.

I am not sure they come any cuter than these two. I spent a hot summer evening with Ashley and Ben, and they could not have been more fun and willing. The look in Ben's eyes, Ashley's gorgeous bump, and the connection between these two was inspiring to document. I am excited to meet their little Rowan when he makes his entrance this August. Congratulations you two (three!). 

The Stettlers :: Baby Bump :: Portland, OR.

I had so much fun meeting Barbara and her husband Joel, who are expecting their first baby boy in early June. And I can't forget soon-to-be big brother Boz, their sweet dog. We are due one day apart, so we really bonded over our pregnancy joys (and woes). I am really looking forward to meeting their baby when he arrives! I can already tell what loving parents they will be to the lucky guy. And extra kudos to Barbara for being a trooper in heels all over (a somewhat mushy) Laurelhurst park!
