The lovely Jessica and Bill came to Duvall today for their maternity shoot. Sounds of Summer Stage blared across the lawns and trails as we shot around the depot and McCormick Park on this beautiful sunny Wednesday. Here are some highlights.

See you guys in five weeks to welcome your baby boy!

I’ve always loved the name Madison, and looking at mom Jenn, you can tell she’s going to be a gorgeous one!

Aren’t those shoes just the cutest?

The light was just all sweetness this evening. See you in a month, Jenn. Hang in there!

Fellow photographer Sareh of Awen Photographic contacted me a few months ago for some maternity pictures. It’s always a lot of fun shooting photographers because we get to talk shop a little while taking pics. And for one to be in front of the camera instead of behind it!

Here are some highlights of our shoot today at Golden Gardens. There was an extraordinary sunset because of all the smog thanks to forest fires from the drier parts of Washington. Still, the skies were blue this evening and we could not be more happy.

You two are just so sweet together. I can’t wait to meet baby girl Hunt Thanks for letting me make these pictures with you!

Looking forward to seeing your little girl in a few weeks!

{maternity} Celebrating Jan’s miracle

Jennifer Tai — Sat, 08 May 2010 23:09:23 +0000

Janya was the very first client I ever had. Without any reservations, she took me up on my offer to take pictures of her baby boy. In a way, you could say Janya started it all, that first step I took towards taking pictures of other people’s children professionally.

That was almost two years ago, the summer of 2008. It makes me want to cry a little how time has flown.

Today, as I pulled up Jan’s driveway, there she stood, in all her bumpy glory, seven months along with #2. Baby Boy G is almost three, attached at the hip to daddy Nate.

Today, photographing Jan, I was reminded of the fragility – and miracle – of life. That one can never be too grateful for the many good things that one has, or how close one can come to losing everything without warning. I am not a religious person. I used to be. But I still believe in belief. That determination, hard work and inner strength can bring about miracles.

Thanks for letting me photograph your journey the second time around, Jan and Nate. I can’t wait to meet him.

{maternity} Josie + Derek + 1

Josie and Derek are expecting their little girl in a little over a month.

Firstborns are always exciting, looking at the earnest anticipation in Josie and Derek’s eyes. The enthusiasm is contagious!

Josie is one of those long-torsoed expectant mommies who carry so elegantly.

It was a rainy afternoon. My pretty see-through brolly came out to play once more.

THanks Josie and Derek! I’ll see you guys in a month!
