Maternity Portraits







My own son Zack and his wife Sarah are expecting my first grandchild in July, and we are all very excited about this new addition coming into our family of course. It is poignant to see how much this child is already loved by all of us, and she isn't even born yet. Maybe that is why I love doing Maternity Portraits for my clients. It gives you a chance to capture this amazing, beautiful, tender, and fleeting moment in time.

It is a time when the couple becomes so close, a calm before the storm, and when the mother's beauty is unbounded. It is so important to capture all those emotions in a portrait! Here are some examples of some recent maternity portraits for couples. Sometimes they are couples who I have had the honor of photographing their wedding, or even their high school senior portraits years ago. Now they have returned to capture this delightful time, as well as when the baby is born. There is a special quiet beauty in these moments, and as artists have captured the Madonna portraits for generations, I too adore this subject.










If you know someone expecting a baby, encourage them to capture their beauty in a photograph today!
