2016 Favorite Portland Maternity Sessions
Beautiful Holly | Winter, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
Our original plan for Holly’s maternity session was at a waterfall in the gorge. Unfortunately, with all the ice it was too dangerous for Holly to be walking around the area. No problem, we found a beautiful spot along the river and the light was beautiful.

Gorgeous Yi | Spring, Wooden Shoe Tulip Fields, Woodburn Oregon
When the tulip fields are in bloom, this is the most magical place for maternity photos. The colors were so vibrant and Yi looked so amazing. Her lace cream dress was perfect against all those amazing tulips.

Beautiful Erin | Lifestyle Maternity Session, West Linn Oregon
This session was very special to me. This is my best friend and she had her first baby last year. It was such an honor to photograph her. She is so beautiful and so excited to be a mom. Lifestyle Maternity Sessions are much more intimate and relaxed, and this really reflects them as a couple.
