One of my favorite wedding couples is expecting a baby this month! I am so excited for them because I know they will make wonderful parents. They came in a couple of weeks ago, YES I am THAT far behind on blog posts, to have some maternity portraits taken. Love, love, love them!! I can’t believe that in a few weeks we will be taking photos of their new little baby!
Well, it is finally finished! Yesterday I delivered my last portrait to the Mercy Hospital Family Birthplace for the new display. Myself and two other local photographers have eleven portraits each on display so that moms to be can have something “pretty” to look at while they pace those halls! We are also going to be sending all of the new moms home with a special gift in their going home bags, so be sure to check those bags ladies!
I had such a hard time narrowing my favorite images down to just eleven. I know that seems like a lot but it really isn’t. I may just have to find another display venue for the images that didn’t make it into this one… so if you work in a doctor’s office, pediatrician or OB/GYN, give me a jingle and we can arrange to have some beautiful portraits hung in your office!
So here they are… cuteness galore!
waiting is hard… waiting is REALLY hard when you are a little kid! These two cutie patooties are waiting very patiently for their little brother to arrive. Ashley is VERY excited to be a BIG sister. Ely seemed very happy that he was getting a brother this time… although he has “been there and done that” when it comes to being a big brother. 
Mom of course won me over when she walked in carrying (o.k. technically DAD was carrying…) I believe it was two suitcases? I love it when people bring lots of choices for me! Here are just a couple of my fav’s from our session…
There is a new parenting magazine in town called MOM Magazine and yours truly is the official cover photographer for the Umpqua Valley Edition! I found out that I was chosen a few months ago but thought that I would wait to tell you until the magazine was out. Each issue they will pick a cover mom, someone usually in our county, and I get to photograph her and her children! Fun stuff! This month’s cover mom is Mandy Holborow and she is one busy woman! Triplets and two pre-teen girls! Our “cover shoot” was a bit of a challenge because wouldn’t you know it, the babies were teething! We did get some smiles out of them though. You will have to read the magazine to see all of the photos but here is the cover:
You can pick up a free copy of the magazine at local Dr.’s offices, the hospital, and some local businesses. I have a limited number and would be glad to give you one when you come in for your session, I also know that Cellar Door will have some… just keep your eye out. You can also subscribe by going to the link above, just be sure to specify that you want the Umpqua Valley edition.
Is this not just the cutest belly ever! Love her choice of shirt too, the color was fabulous! I had a great time with this maternity session since the “mama” in question has been a friend of my little sister since they were in grade school!
While I would love to say that this client came all the way from Germany just for her maternity portraits, truth be told she also came to visit relatives. She is currently serving in the Army and is stationed in Germany. I was of course thrilled to do her portraits when she was here visiting. We got some amazing shots but here are two of my favorites.
