Matt & Ashley Maternity - Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden

This sweet (and super stylish!) couple is about to have their first baby and I couldn't be more happy for them!! The day of their session, I asked Matt and Ashely if they had brought any props to their session that they wanted me to photograph. To my delight, they pulled out a pair of the cutest little brown leather baby shoes I have ever seen! And not only were they adorable on their own, but by coincidence, Matt & Ashely's shoes even matched!! I couldn't resist incorporating the shoes into several of their images.

We photographed their session at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden amongst weeping willows, and Portland's beautifully lush backdrop. Just by looking at their images you can tell how deep their love for each other is, and what loving parents they will make. It's days like these I get so excited about my job!! I love capturing these priceless memories for my clients to cherish for years to come. And nothing brings me more joy than getting to share them with you!
