My gorgeous friend (who is also a very talented wedding photographer!) has given birth to a beautiful baby girl… but before she had her daughter I was able to get a few maternity photos of her. I was invited/invited myself over to her house in Washington this past May, and spent the week with her and her family visiting all of the Seattle sites…the public market, the flagship Nordstrom store (sigh it was like my own mothership calling me home!), Alki beach, the quaint neighborhood in Queen Anne… it was the perfect vacation! She was a gracious tour guide. I miss my friend dearly, she moved from California to Washington and I feel like I just do not see her often enough these days. Unless you count Facebook as a way of “seeing someone” 😉 I love that I was able to give her a few images of her belly!

Her maternity session was shot on a very rainy day, I hear this is normal for Seattle 🙂 My friend Chloe (another very talented wedding photographer in Washington) and I spent the afternoon photographing Bre. We were in the same space and spent the same time with her, and it is always so fabulous to see the world through each other’s eyes. Chloe’s images are gorgeous and you can see her’s here 🙂 We did wrap ourselves in warm winter ware and head outside for the last part of the session. I didn’t have a bag for my camera and it was just raining too hard, so you have to click over to Chloe’s blog to see the beautiful rainy photos she took 🙂

Without further ado, I would like to share these images of the lovely Bre. She was glowing, so beautiful, and it was no wonder seeing the precious girl she now holds in her arms. I love you, my friend!
