I had a wonderful time with Kindra. The ex-roller derby athlete was very relaxed during her pregnancy session. We got a large variety of images, but this set was my favorite, and the most unusual.

I really had a wonderful time making pregnancy photos with Michelle and her family. Their openness allowed for much creativity. I am very happy with this set of maternity photos, but I’d love feedback on which are your absolute favorites and if you prefer the color or black and white photographs. Thanks! Meryl

In preparation for my upcoming exhibit of family photography at Birth and Beyond beginning on May 1, I am going through photos to decide what to display. I really enjoy working with families to document this special time in their lives. Here, Jonah is getting used to the idea of having a brother.
I do my pregnancy and family photography both on location and in my studio. Some people feel more comfortable in their own surroundings and some people like to come to my home where I have my studio.

Will and Carter have moms that are best friends, so they wanted to have their children photographed together. Will is 10 months and Carter is 5 months. Carter doesn’t really sit up yet, but using some creativity, we got him to appear to sit up. I really enjoyed spending time with these children!

Molly, 77, and her mother Helen, 99, live together in Florida. Helen will turn 100 this July, and is mentally and physically in good shape. Helen emigrated to this country from Greece in an arranged marriage at 18 years old. I have been considering doing a photo project on people over 85/90 in excellent shape. Any comments or ideas are welcome. Is this an interesting idea?

I am really enjoying working with Seattle families to produce photographs of their infants and children in their homes. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for moms and dads with new babies to have me come to them. I also photographed this little cutie before he was born, as I created a pregnancy portrait of his mom, Karey. I am preparing for a show at Birth and Beyond in Madison Valley in Seattle which begins on May 1. Very exciting!

There was poo, there was pee, there was poo, there was spit up and then there was the moment. Ok, there was a lot more pee than that, but it was a wonderful experience shooting my first newborn.
