Maternity in the Setting Sun

I already posted my favorite maternity portrait from Cari's first photo shoot. But, here are some of the most interesting photographs from her second, Old West style maternity session. We had the most gorgeous orange light from the setting sun...

Sneak Peek: Maternity

Cari is a good friend, fellow artist and photographer, and expecting her first baby! We were both so filled with ideas for her maternity portraits that we actually did two photo shoots! This one had a very modern, urban vibe, as you can see. This is my favorite image from this shoot. But, the second shoot was an Old West style shoot in the gorgeous setting sun...stay tuned for a post with photos from that maternity session!

Handsome Boy

I called this little guy my "George Clooney Baby", mostly because of that smoldering look he's giving me in the above photograph! I hope someday soon he'll come back with his older brother for a sibling photo shoot.


There's always a little warming up period where the babies and I get to know each other a bit:




But finally we are able to loosen up and have a lot of fun:

Summer Babies

It seems my summer is destined to be filled with cute babies! But, that's to be expected when you do so many winter maternity portraits.

Isn't this little guy so cute? I brought along my vintage cameras and I think it his outfit was very well suited to the Vintage Childhood look.



He was still a little working on sitting up for long periods of time by himself so dad's hands are just out of the frame here, ready to catch him when he wobbles! Maybe some day I will post some of the hilarious outtakes.
