The nice thing about booking a studio session is the proximity of the studio to some pretty outdoor locations. We drove to this location, but it was less than 5 minutes away (and some are in walking distance). This is a great option when we can’t depend on the weather to cooperate! Even if it’s raining a little, we can do a few shots outside at the very end of your session!
Sometimes it’s just too dang hot outside do do a maternity session. This was one of those days, when we had record highs last August. Rather than try to sweat through the heat, we opted to shoot in the studio, where we could all rejoice about the air conditioning.
The parents-to-be brought some of their favorite baby books, their ultrasound images, a baby blanket, and a name sign. I gathered up all of the plants (fake and real) that I could find, and Jessica’s emerald green lace dress tied it all together perfectly.
One last session before the baby arrives and their puppy is no longer an only child!
This couple has been though (and continue to go through) more than most can imagine and I’ll just leave it at that. While we definitely did some happy, colorful maternity portraits, these intimate shots speak to me the most.
I have had the honor of photographing Anna & Ken for several years now and they are truly amazing people. This year their annual fall portraits looked a little different, with Anna’s baby bump making an appearance. Baby Asha is expected to make her grand entrance in early 2022 and I cannot wait to meet her!
This fall I offered indoor mini sessions at The Gray Lab, a natural light studio in downtown Salem. Yes, I have my own studio a block away, but The Gray Lab is more suited for groups than my space is. I am excited to share more from this session very soon!
