guess who came early…

Jamie and Will have been here on the blog before, first Jamie as a hottie pin up girl, then as a beautiful bride. Now as a stunning pregnant lady.  I was just about to finish this beautiful maternity set, when my phone started blinking with the happiest of all text messages. Mr. Liam is here! Of course Jamie is a friend so I had to rush down and see the little guy, ahhh he is amazing! I snapped a few at the hospital this morning that I may have to share later.

Well I still had to share this beautiful belly!

Jamie & Will are going to be amazing parents I just know it, and I can not wait to get my hands on the little one for our newborn session!

sending these two all my love tonight

As I type this the following wonderful, amazing, beautiful mam is giving birth to a beautiful little boy. I can not wait to meet him! I have been getting text messages all day about the progress. I am literally gitty every time my crackberry starts blinking.

Sho I am sending you lots of good labor love! If you get a chance to peek at these I hope they make you smile. 🙂

Last week I met Shoshanna & Mike in a lovely park in Salem. I had been in search of the perfect field of long pretty grass and we found it! Along with some beautiful other settings.

Thanks M&S for being up for anything. Including some bugs & burs! I hope all is well with your labor and the little dude comes out soon. I can not wait to point my lens his way. Much love to you two tonight. 🙂

just the most fun, over the top, sexy maternity session ever.

If you have lived in the Portland metro area for longer than 5 minuets you know this amazingly beautiful and witty soon to be mama. Daria is absolutely fabulous in every way, so when I heard on the radio she was expecting I just knew I had to do her maternity session. When she contacted me and asked if her fantastic husband Dallas could come, I said heck yeah!

We had a great time. I just love a pregnant mama that wants to show her sexy side.  Daria & Dallas were  a riot, and I think we got some great images!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

You can tell Daria is loving being pregnant, she looks so comfortable with that beautiful belly.

bwplusdalles

They are so perfect together.

Such a bombshell this mama.

pinupone

She knows how to vamp it up!

heartdress

How perfect is the big belly heart. So glad this dress still fit D!

I love that they got all giddy talking about their little dude. He is going to be one loved baby.

So after a few of the ones above I asked Daria to break out a comic book or two.

I always like to include people’s art and passions.  Well a comic book or two later we ended up in full on Batman costume! How freaking rad is Dallas for making it work. 🙂

dariamat-15

this one is my personal fav.  I love the contrast of the belly & the batman.  I could see this one printed BIG.

Miss Daria art directed this shot. Have I mentioned they were super fun? I love clients with a vision.

batmansetverticle

and this one is just so them.

Daria & Dallas, I had an absolute blast meeting the two of you. Thanks for letting me have free reign over your home to make the shoot work. I hope you love these as much as I do. I can’t wait to hear all about your little dude. He is one lucky boy! I am already having visions of him cradled in super hero arms. 🙂 And as I do for all new clients I would be happy to offer you a blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this post I will throw in an 11×14 mounted wall print. You know that is if you can spare a little room on your beautifully covered walls.

So get commenting people.  How could you not have something to say!

another amazingly beautiful soon to be mama {Portland Oregon Maternity Photography}

I am one lucky girl, I had not one but two amazingly beautiful maternity clients this last week. I have already posted about Aubrey, and now it is Shanon’s turn. Shanon is not only beautiful but very kind & sweet. She and her husband Jory (I hope I am spelling that right!) absolutely glowed while talking about the new little.  I can tell this kiddo is going to be very loved.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

This one was Jory’s idea, I hope I pulled off the look he had in his head. 🙂

See how sweet they are together.

Again Shanon was up for anything. The window light in their house was just perfect for us too.

shannonwebpeek-15-copy

They have a beautiful home as well. Lots of art and detail everywhere. They have done an amazing job restoring the place on their own.

Shanon & Jory I had a wonderful time meeting the both of you. Thanks for being up for anything I have many more to show you very soon! I can not wait to come back and meet your new little one in the new year as well. Have a very happy holiday season! I will have the whole gallery for you very soon.

Proving pregnancy can be beautiful & hot, {Portland Oregon Maternity Photography}

We have been planning Aubrey’s maternity session for quite some time. When she said she wanted to do a mixture of the regular sweet belly photos with a few on the sexy side I was stoked. I absolutely love an adventurous client!

Here are a few with her beautiful little girl A:
