Brooklyn Maternity Photography - We're Pregnant!

After moving across the country, a long sabbatical from photography, a worldwide pandemic, and a whole new season of life later, we find ourselves loving living in NYC, and even planning to start a family here. We are excited to say that we’re expecting our own little babe in March! A girl. And we couldn’t be more excited!!

Since baby girl will be born in winter, we felt it was fitting to capture maternity photos in the snow. We didn’t necessarily mean to do an entire maternity shoot. We just looked out the window one day and spontaneously said, “It’s snowing!! Let’s grab the tripod and go take some photos!!” It was nearly 15 degrees outside, but the photos came out so cute, we just kept snapping more!! And that’s the story of how we accidentally captured our own maternity photos, haha! I love how they turned out.

Thanks Joe, for enduring the cold, and venturing on this wild journey to parenthood with me. Love you!

Hood River Maternity Session - Daniel & Natalie

Pets are a special part of the family. They steal our hearts, make us laugh, provide endless entertainment and love. After a while, you can’t even imagine life without them. So, it’s always so much fun when clients ask to bring along their furry friends to include in their photo shoot. Daniel & Natalie were just about to give birth to their first baby, but wanted to capture their little family of 3 before their baby girl arrived. We decided to photograph their maternity session in Hood River (at a place affectionately called “the Spit”), where Daniel & Natalie often take their dog, Monty, to run and play. Before the session, Natalie warned me that Monty was quite an energetic, handful. We captured lots of portraits of Daniel & Natalie along the water’s edge of the Columbia River Gorge as the sun romantically set behind them. All this, while Monty ran his hardest, back and forth and through the water, greeting passersby with jumps and licks before excitedly running off in the opposite direction. He had a blast, and we had a blast just watching him. In the end though, Monty was a good boy. He posed beautifully for several portraits, and Daniel and Natalie ended up with some super cute family photos together. 🐾
