I have been toiling over processing images and placing orders today.  To get my creative juices flowing I picked one of my favorite images from the last maternity session and totally completed it.  It is as breathtaking as its surroundings.

I can feel the love flowing through my screen.

[If you have not yet seen a preview of Megan's maternity shoot at the Willow Grove, WA this weekend yet, make sure to drop by there first. ]

I personally think there is something absolutely angelic about pregnant women.  They don’t only carry a new life in them, but they go through pain and struggle to bring that life into the world.  Their bodies change–they are happy; they go through discomfort [just imagine not being able to sleep any which way you might want to for months or not being able to tie your own shoes!]–they are happy; they go through labor and pain for hours–yet they are still happy.  All for the sake of bringing another life into this world. 

So, when it comes to maternity photography I don’t believe in boring.  I believe in celebrating the beauty of it.  Even with swollen feet and expanded waistline :)   It is all absolutely gorgeous to me.

Megan is a beautiful woman to start with.  Pregnancy made her glow.  Check it out for yourself.

We met at the Willow Grove beach.  What I loved was the stark comparison between the baren land and the life inside Megan.

Byron, bless his heart, had the hardest time at the bright, sunny beach, but was a natural in front of the camera when we came to their house. This is one of my favorite image of the two three of them.

Like I said, pregnancy images should be anything but boring.  Check out this hot sizzling Momma!  Megan=GORGEOUS!  And the belly is super beautiful.

Megan & Byron, thank you for allowing me to be a part of such an important event in your life.  I can’t wait to show you the rest of the images from the shoot, and see little Harlow grace us with her presence.  I am sure she will be as beautiful as the both of you are.

I had an amazing time shooting a maternity session yesterday morning at the Willow Grove in Longview, WA. The parents to be are glowing and cannot wait for their baby to come into this world.

I have a ton of favorite images to share with all of you tomorrow, but for today I wanted to add a quick couple of shots of Megan and Byron and their baby girl Harlow [in the belly :) ].

Enjoy!


Aren’t they gorgeous?

More to come tomorrow!

Here are a few more of my favorite images from a recent session with a gorgeous Kelso High School Senior, Makayla.  She really rocked this session, and the weather turned out to be perfect for it.

Makayla: a model and a rock star!
