Maternity Photo Shoot

A few weeks ago, Jason and I set out for our maternity photo shoot with a good photographer friend of mine. She was one of my students in our Wednesday night church program for years and she married my brother-in-laws brother, so she's kinda like family...almost. :)

The location for these photos was honestly way out in the middle of nowhere. You know when you hit the gravel road and keep driving a few miles? Yep, that's where we were! However, we couldn't have asked for better settings, backdrops, or weather. Everything was just perfect for capturing this special time in our lives!

Today, I'm sharing a few of our favorites with you! :) 






I loved including our pups in the shoot as they truly are a part of our family. Madalynn (the cocker) was a little angel during the shoot. Pixie (the Yorkie)? Not so much...but we got the shots we set out to get!







I also wanted a photo that encompassed our entire journey...and I just so happened to have this little Hallmark keepsake at my house! Perfect!

They say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true!

Thanks so much to Katie! She did an incredible job and I absolutely love them!! :)

Any fellow maternity photography fans out there? If you've recently been pregnant, did you have maternity photos taken?

  1. We did not get maternity photos taken because we knew we would soon be doing newborn photos and Bobby was unemployed at the time ssooo ya haha. I don't know how you got the dogs to sit still, Bella would have been all over the place!

  5. Love all of your photos, Karen, especially the ones with the girls in them. They look like they cooperated, at least well enough, to get these gorgeous photos.
