So, I got an exciting email this week (that also totally freaked me out). Baby Orion showed up early! First - I LOVE that baby name! Second, it's not super-common for first babies to come early, so it was definitely an unexpected message (and a bit of a reality check for me as an upcoming new mama - I hadn't really thought about the possibility of baby showing up early - I've been preparing to be patient when she shows up late!)
I was very happy to hear that Orion is at home with his parents and is doing well. When I met Benita & Ron at their maternity shoot, we had some great laughs, and it was obvious that they were ready to be awesome parents. I can't wait to meet Orion next week for his baby pictures!! :)
Seattle Maternity Photographer: Baby Fernley's First Photo Shoot
I have had the privilege of calling these two gorgeous and fabulously kind people my friends almost as long as they've been a couple. I thought they were perfect for each other back in 2002, LOVED celebrating their wedding over Labor Day in 2010, and this year, I get to watch them become parents!
I am SO lucky to get to document love for a living. I NEVER feel entitled to be my friends' photographer for their special moments. But, I love it when they ask me. It gives me a front row seat to some seriously special moments in their lives that I might otherwise miss. I don't take that for granted!
Thank you, Heather and Eric, for an afternoon of laughs, memories, stories, and catching up. Oh, and thanks for being ridiculously fun and gorgeous in front of the camera too! Because, yeah. You are!
Corvallis Maternity Photographer: Brittany
Brittany and her baby bump! I had a great afternoon with Brittany. For starters, it was WARM. And this time of year, I get crazy excited about the sunshine. It was also gorgeous. And Brittany is awesome. I had a great time talking to her. She's going to be an amazing mom! I can't wait to meet her baby! :)
