I met Bianca a few years ago. She was a bridesmaid in two weddings I photographed. When her and her husband planned their maternity and newborn photos they contacted me, and it was awesome to see her again! They included their sweet pup in their photos. This little dog loved frolicking in the hills during our session. Life might change when baby arrives, but for now this family of three is loving pregnancy!
When I have clients come back after their wedding and engagement, after maternity, after newborn portraits for their brand new baby, for one year pictures of their growing child…it makes me so happy I could cry.
This is a different kind of post. A combo post. Like a pizza. Or a sundae. A montage if you will 🙂
I first met Jamie in 2011, and after a coffee date wedding consult we scheduled an engagement session in Apple Hill. In 2012 she was married at a gorgeous wedding ceremony at Yoche De He in Brooks (at the Cache Creek Casino). I was truly honored to photograph her beautiful wedding. When she e-mailed me for maternity photos in 2013 I was SO excited to see her and Richard again.
Her maternity portraits were taken in wide open fields outside of Davis, California. She is a country girl at heart and this location was perfect for her.
I was excited to see her again in the fall of 2013 for newborn portraits for her brand new baby girl. It made my heart so happy to see their family come full circle. I often wonder if my previous wedding clients have started families together, but to get the call to photograph the new baby is beyond words.
I was incredibly honored yet again to photograph their daughter’s one year birthday session complete with a cake smash 🙂 Jamie brought along a beautiful antique high chair and their little yellow wagon for her daughter’s photos. It was just the best. Little girl has so much personality and the biggest brightest smile. I just adore her.
I would love to photograph all of my old clients again and again 🙂 I really do find myself thinking of them as the years go on. I feel that I was there during one of the happiest occasions of their lives, focused on really reading them and their relationship, trying to see beyond the wedding day into the way they really care for each other. I am honored to be their family photographer.
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!
