Wiebe Family * Melissa's Beautiful Baby Bump

Jackie's Baby Bump

Meet the lovely Jackie of Welcome, Darling. I was so excited I got the opportunity to do this session with her.  She lives in northern Utah and our schedules just didn't seem to be matching up... until this day that was warm but had beautiful light.  I love Jackie's amazing cat shaped eyes.  Enjoy!

I love the look on her face... this is one of my favorites!  She just looks so confident and strong like, "BAM! That's right I'm making a baby and I look good doing it!"

I'd like to label this one, "Bling + Baby"

Kirsie's Beautiful Baby Bump

I had so much fun doing this session with Kirsie and her family.  I can't believe that she is 30+ weeks along and her belly is barely a bump!  I had to ask her too push it out a few times so she looked more pregnant. 

We started out with some family shots which were funny because Jaxton kept being weird and then I realized he just wanted the spotlight. 

So... I sat him on the stool by himself and he just started smiling and soaking up the spotlight.

This is one of my favorites.

That's right... she is jumping like a pro!  She has one of the best jumping faces I've photographed. 

Love this one.

 

This tree was such a happy accident.  After we were done shooting in the big metal tube I spotted this tree on the way to the car.  The branches were the perfect height and the light was amazing!  No one would ever know there is a ugly industrial area in the back round. 

Kirsie saw an idea on pinterest with a bump sign similar to this.  I couldn't think of anywhere in town where there is a permanent bump sign but a few days before the shoot I spotted one in a construction area.  Success! 

Ryanne's Underwater Maternity Session

Ryanne is one of my good friends who took a dive for this maternity session.  This was a first for me and soo much fun! 

These photos were taken in a club house pool with a waterproof Pentax point and shoot camera that I borrowed from my sister.  Sometimes you have to take a chance and try something new and even though you might not have top of the line equipment for your situation you can still capture a moment.  We laughed so much during this session.  She was diving and swimming and everything in between for us to capture these moments.  We only came away with a few amazing images but they were totally worth it.  

This is by far my favorite! LOVE! 

Melissa's Brave Bikini Maternity Shoot

I always love doing maternity sessions but this one was sooo much fun! Melissa had gone on a trip with her family to the lake and had seen some pictures of herself pregnant in her bikini, she thought they looked pretty cute.  So... she gave me her idea to do a session out at the lake in her bikini!! I was so excited to do something fun and different... most people don't want to be photographed in a bikini let alone pregnant.  She was brave and I was ready to capture the moment.  

When we got to the lake the wind was blowing like crazy and the water was cold.  Melissa is an awesome model though and she gave me so much to work with.  She is always so relaxed and care free when I photograph her, I think she really trusts me. 

One of the benefits of the wind was the way it created such amazing waves and how it played with her hair.
