Jenny and Torand + 1

I love photographing people at some of the most important times in their lives. Those huge events that happen in our lives, happen so quickly.

 I hope that these photographs of Jenny and Torand a few weeks before the birth of their first child capture the many feelings of the soon to be parents.

I wish you both all the best. It is a beautiful, challenging yet rewarding life long journey you are both embarking on. I cant wait to meet your little person - who will one day look at these photographs are ask, "was I really inside your tummy?" and all kinds of other questions! lol.

Good Luck! Merry Christmas!

And baby make Five

Some people make certain things looks so easy... Christina is one of those people....

In the next few weeks she will be installing another car seat into her minivan and hold out her entire hand when she tells people how many children she has. 

Her entire hand! - ALL five fingers!

Somehow she  always appears calm and collected... insightful and IN the moment.

How she does it? Dont ask me - I have yet to figure this out.

I am sure the humor and help she receives from her loving husband Trevor is a big piece of the puzzle.

They have four beautiful girls. All beautiful blonde girls.

I have a feeling this one will be a boy. A beautiful blonde boy of course.

I also have a feeling I am wrong though. They are certainly good a making beautiful girls. 

So why change a good thing.

Good luck to the both of you - and - baby number five !!!

 
 
 



The Beauty of a Bump

I didn’t feel that my baby bumps were something that I needed to photograph during both my pregnancies. I merely wanted photographic evidence of the amazing width my middle was becoming. So I could say years later, “look how big I was!”

What I didn’t know at the time was that I would want to have captured something other than girth – the real beauty of it all.



When you are pregnant your body becomes temporarily someone else’s as well as your own. So much so, it becomes hard to recognize yourself in a mirror. And hard to see the beauty that pregnancy processes. The beauty of life that only a woman can hold - the most natural beauty enhancement around.





Ann was pregnant with her third child and I was hoping to document this personal and meaningful time for her in a way that she would cherish for many years to come.



I wanted to create something that she could look back at and see more than what she saw at the time when she was 9 months pregnant. I didn’t want her to only see the growth of her middle. I wanted her to see the amazing and unique beauty that only pregnant woman posses.







Thank you Ann for allowing me to be a part of you and your childs life together.
