Hyacinth Maternity – Portland, OR Maternity Photographer

Hello friends! What a whirlwind 2020 has been so far, yes?

What a joy it is to bring a new life in to the world! Especially in a world where things are so crazy. A baby can be such a source of calm and joy in these uncertain times.

Meet the beautiful Hyacinth.

Isn’t she stunning?

Heidi and I went to school together! She has been one of my closest and dearest friends. I love when my photography business reconnects me with friends I have lost touch with over the years. When Heidi and I reconnected, it was like no time was lost at all. We just picked up where we last left each other, and started up again. Maybe with a few differences in between… like husbands, children, grandchildren, pets, houses… the fun things!

When Heidi reached out to me for her maternity session, I knew it had to be a special one. She has a five year old little fella, and we missed the opportunity to do maternity images with him because he was so anxious to make his arrival in this world!

Heidi decided she wanted blues for her maternity session, as she and her family nicknamed this baby “Blueberry”. She ordered her dress from Amazon, and I brought a coordinating crown that was made by Sunrise Baby Co.

For location, Heidi had found a gorgeous trail near her Portland, OR home. We went to the Rock Creek Trail, and spend some time on the bridge, under the overpass, and at the end of her session found some gorgeous evening light filtering through the trees.

Little Nixon is so excited to become a big brother! He is anxious anticipating the arrival of Baby Blueberry. Nixon really wanted to be in every image we took! I love his little grin and happy face!

When Heidi wanted to make good use of the Mask Mandate, I couldn’t resist!

How amazing is it that her masks completely matched her color scheme for her maternity session?

Heidi has this to say about her maternity session:

“You were and always are amazing! You mad me feel beautiful. You made me feel completely comfortable in my own skin when I was a little insecure in my dress. You had the perfect ideas to make everything work perfectly. “
