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. 

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 Gaitans :: Maternity Family Session :: Portland, OR.

This beautiful family is awaiting the arrival of a new baby boy in just a few short weeks. I can already tell Cecilia is going to be one very sweet older sister, and I can't wait to see what he looks like!

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! 

Brianna and Kenny :: Maternity :: Portland, Oregon.

I had such a great time hanging out with these two. I heard (from more than one source) that it can be task to get Kenny to smile in photos, but I could tell it is easy for him to smile when looking at this beautiful mama. There was also a guest appearance by one of her sisters, Christi! These two are going to make such sweet parents to their daughter, Nyla. Congrats Brianna and Kenny!
