Maternity Photography, Longview WA

Posted on September 12, 2009

What an amazing day it was yesterday.  I am so blessed to have beautiful clients.  Yesterday I felt like I was photographing a super-model family. Vera and Slavik are expecting their second child in a couple of weeks.  By looking at her you could never tell–she is glowing, although her belly is growing and Slavik has to help her get her shoes on :)

I am super excited also because once the baby is born I will get to shoot a newborn session!  But I am not the only one that is excited.  Vera’s daughter, super cute D*, cannot wait for the little one to come out either… literally.  She has been preparing for her little sibling’s arrival for a few months now.

Now you get a chance to see what I meant by “super-model” family.  Look how gorgeous they are!

Didn’t I tell you that Vera was glowing?  :) She is, as is Slavik.

Vera was very easy to photograph and I have a whole tone of favorite images from the session [as you can see], but this image is breathtaking… it is begging to be blown up on a canvas!

Slavik and Vera are not only a gorgeous looking couple , they are youth pastor at the Vancouver Church of Truth, and from what I hear they do an amazing job there.

Little D* is totally a girly-girl, she could not take the sand in her shoes, so she kept taking them off to clean her feet.  It was too adorable to pass up.

Last night, after the session, I bragged on facebook about the shoot and told my friends how gorgeous the Mom-to-be-one-more-time was.   This is a total proof of what I was talking about.  Can you believe she is 8.5 months along?

This was one of the moments when D* decided that she wanted to be in the pictures.  She was like a little director–we had to follow her lead.

Aren’t they gorgeous?

And when D* was in the mood, she was a heart-stealer.  Check out her love for her Daddy.

Warning: Super Gorgeous Pregnant Woman!  Longview Wa, watch out–if maternity sessions can be this hot and fun, just imagine what can happen in all other cases…

I told my husband last night that if this is what pregnancy does to woman, baby, I am in line ;) !

svs_034Slavik, Vera & D*, I am so happy that you chose me to do your maternity/family session.  You are a wonderful family and I can barely wait until your little one comes out!  Thank you!

    GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love all of these!!!!!

  • Stevenn Gurle

    i really love the compositions and your shots, but i did have a question about one thing. it seems like on every picture your highlights are all almost blown out. is that the way you like to shoot and edit?

  • Luba

    wow, you guys looke awesome, and yes Elena, line up, can’t wait to see your super model pregnant pics.

  • Elena

    Steven, there are no blown out highlights. You need to make sure that your monitor is calibrated and brightness on your screen is not cranked all the way up. If your screen is calibrated, then the highlights should look fine.

  • Jessica

    Those are beautiful pictures Elena, make me want another baby!!! Love your work!!

  • Elena

    Thanks, everyone. And, Jessica, any time you decide to have another baby… I will be here :)
