280 days, 40 weeks, or 9 months; it can sound like a lot of time but in the blink of an eye you will be welcoming your new family member into the world. Soon you will be reminiscing the flutters of the first kicks and the rhythmic thumping of your little's hiccups in the womb. While you can't make this short lived period last forever, you can commemorate this time with precious heirlooms and artwork.

Mama Whitney, dressed in my Anastasia dress available in my maternity closet, sure came to impress.
She will soon have two kiddos under the age of two but that doesn't stop her from taking care of herself.
Maternity in the Fall
Mama Airri came into my studio at 8 months into her pregnancy. She absolutely killed it in my Valentina dress, one of several available in my client closet. I love simplicity of the black dress against the crisp white background.

Airri
Mama Karigan makes having a toddler and being pregnant at the same time look easy! Somehow between working four days a week at a dental office, raising a curious 20 month old, and growing a little girl, she still manages to find time for herself.
When she finds free time, you can find her curled up on the couch with a good book or listening to one of her many favorite podcasts.

I want to know more! To me there is no such thing as too much information. I want you to feel free to share as much or as little information as you are comfortable with.

Amazing photographer! We have used Kristen for engagement, wedding, newborn, family, and every photo in between. Our expectations are not only met, but exceeded every single time! Her patience and commitment to get the perfect photo is impressive. She can even manage to get a rowdy toddler to somehow cooperate and look at the camera for family photos.
