I just love momma bellies . . . pregnant women are so beautiful. They don’t always feel that they are but I want you to know that you are just that. Very beautiful! I really enjoyed being chosen to photograph Brandy for her maternity. Baby Bryce should be coming along pretty soon now.

I really love the look of a good a silhouette!




This is Aleasha. She is one of my favorite clients. I had the privilege of photographing Aleasha and Patrick for their wedding here in Anchorage, Alaska, last year. Now she and Patrick are expecting their first child so she and I recently got together to photograph her belly or as she calls it, her “baby bump”. She is the most beautiful person you could ever meet, really sweet and kind. She and I connected instantly. There are times in life when you really connect to fabulous people and I seem to get lucky enough to do that quite often with my clients. And, what a beauty – those eyes are always laughing! We had fun. I love our results. What do you think about our maternity session? Hopefully it is very ‘untypical’ – as I always strive for.



This below is my fav!

Look how glamorous this pregnant woman is.




Well, as promised, the images of McKenzie and Brad. This was a fantastic session in a small farm town of Oregon. Very picturesque, high desert area. I enjoyed my weekend there, very much. Now the one thing I could not find, champagne! I love champagne. But they do have the best damn burgers I have EVER had!
This gorgeous couple are both teachers. I am willing to bet that their students really love them.


Come on Brad, let’s get one serious shot here.


Do you recognize this shed?





I just love the way the setting sun casts that magical glow. It makes for nice warm tones to embellish upon.

Stella, their dog, had to be in this story!

Straight colour can still be fun.



Now some fun begins. This is the day we shot just McKenzie and her gorgeous baby belly. I had plenty of assistants. Girls just know how to sex things up. We were lucky enough to have the use of this incredible barn.

And McKenzie is positively glowing.






This is pretty special. We raided gramma’s drawer for her undergarments. Gram’s slips are just the best. Don’t cha just love it?



Now this was McKenzie’s special surprise for Brad. She donned his jersey and we grabbed his football. And as luck would have it. They now have a baby boy to play football with.

This is truly my personal favorite of the day. The story behind this was there was a an old work truck, broken down, right in my frame so McKenzie’s dad, Jim hooked up a tow and pulled it out of the way so we could get this perfect parting shot. Then we pushed it back, of course. I hope that the property owner, Laura, never knew we did that.

And of course, some detail shots. This jersey, I believe, had first belonged to McKenzie’s grandfather and it was then passed down to her father, as a boy and now baby H shall be wearing it.

These boots belonged to McKenzie’s brother, Zack. And when I saw these in the house, I just had to bring them along.

And now H has his own pair to beat up.

The girls. One last shot of mother and daughters. Cheers girls! Best time and cannot wait until we do it again. I do believe we wore McKenzie out but oh, so gorgeous.
