Rebecca {maternity} Session

I met the beautiful Rebecca and her husband at Shelter Gardens in Columbia, Mo for some lovely maternity photos in the setting sun.  They are expecting a baby girl any day now and I can't wait for her newborn session!

Rachel + Chris {maternity} Session, Columbia Missouri

Rachel and I attended high school together many years ago and as fate would have it we found ourselves both living in Columbia, Missouri this year.  Rachel and her husband Chris were expecting their first child and I was thrilled to be able to capture a few images for them as they awaited the birth of their son!  

Rachel you are beautiful inside and out and I know you will be a fantastic mother!

Krintin {maternity} Session

I met up with this sweet couple just before Christmas to take some maternity photos in the chilly December weather!  They were so happy and excited for their first little one to join them!  She was born last week and she is as cute as can be!  Her newborn session was amazing and I can't wait to share it too!

Kara {Maternity} Session

I met the beautiful Kara in this stunning location for some maternity photos.  We had a great time and captured some lovely portraits!

Courtney {Maternity} Session

Courtney was so sweet and it was clear she was going to be a great mama!  I enjoyed meeting her and capturing these sweet moments.

Valencia Family

Just before I left Arizona I met this beautiful family out on the red rocks for a sweet family/maternity session.  Jen was my AMAZING doula with Quinn's birth and I was thrilled to capture her family and her pregnancy.  She hadn't told many people she was expecting yet, so we both enjoyed the excitement and surprise her sneak peak generated!  

Wishing you the most amazing birth Jen!

Erin {Maternity} Session

The amazing Erin and I headed down to the Verde for this stunning maternity session a few weeks before I left Arizona.  We had a great time and captured a ton of images, including some with Erin's daughter River.  I love all of these!

Erlisha {maternity} Session

We met for a chilly sunrise session just before Erlisha's due date.  We were both shivering, but the light we got was worth every chill!  You are beautiful Erlisha!

And Erlisha's sweet baby made her way earthside in a beautiful homebirth a few days later. =)

Rachel {maternity} session

Rachel went into labor a little earlier than she had expected so I met her on a Sunday afternoon to take a few pictures to commemorate her pregnancy.  Between contractions Rachel rocked out some lovely pictures and less than 24 hours later her sweet little man was in her arms!


Arin {maternity} session

I was so thrilled to photograph the amazing Arin last week.  Arin is a local massage therapist and Yoga instructor and these fun and fearless pictures are a perfect representation of her as she carries her third child.  We found a perfect place overlooking Cathedral Rock and Arin got her Yoga on.  We even had a few hikers stop and comment on how fabulous this Yoga Mama was!

Thanks for sharing your bump and your talent with me Arin!
