Walla Walla Maternity Photos with the Zita's

Last summer I had the chance to photograph CJ and Caitlin’s wedding, something you should definitely check out if you haven’t seen it. So when I had the opportunity to head out to Walla Walla to capture them in another big life moment - the maternity photos of their first born, I was excited. Not only because these two are awesome - because they are - but also because I was looking forward to seeing the Palouse and wine country. CJ and Caitlin are so easy to get along with, talk to, and photograph, our time went by very quickly. But am I excited to share with you the photos! I hope you love them!

CDA Photographer: Clint & Melissa's Maternity Photos

A little more than a year ago I had the huge privilege of taking pictures of an amazing couple at Settlers Creek. Clint and Melissa are two people who had an incredible wedding, with some great laughs, amazing people, and an awesome sunset. Fast forward some nine months and I get an email from Melissa telling me that her and Clint are expecting a baby, and they want me to capture not just their maternity photos - but also some family photos once the little one is born. So amazing! What an honor it is to be there for the engagement, the wedding, and now the beginning of a beautiful family.

Maternity Photoshoot in Idaho: Gage and Taylor

I only had the chance to talk with Gage and Taylor for a very small period of time. But needless to say my impression was quite great. These two are so kind, with quick smiles and an incredibly genuine demeanor. Taylor glows with her baby belly and these two are about to become parents! What an amazing thing it is. Here are some of my favorites from their maternity photoshoot.

Coeur d'Alene Maternity Photos: Alex and Julie

Less than a year ago I met Alex and Julie as we climbed a mountain for their engagement photos. That was followed a couple months later with their beautiful wedding on Coeur d’Alene lake at the Hagadone Event Center. So when I was contacted about 5 months after the wedding and told that Julie and Alex were expecting, I was pumped! It’s always so awesome to be a part of special moments in couples lives, and it’s an even larger honor to continue to be a part of those moments. Alex and Julie are going to be amazing parents, and I enjoyed exploring with them again.

Coeur d'Alene Photographer: Nick & Caitlin's Maternity Photos

A couple years ago I had the huge privilege of photographing Nick and Caitlin’s wedding. It was beautiful, unique, and with some incredible people. I loved every minute of it. Nick and Caitlin specifically are two people I highly enjoy, and so when they emailed me because their family (which I got to see from the very beginning) was growing to become a family of three I was SO excited for them. Now, these two don’t live in my area, but I was huge honored that they would still ask me to capture this moment in their lives - the moment two become three. My time with these two, photographing their maternity photos, was so much fun - with our lively talks - and i’m looking forward to the next time I get to see them. Huge congratulations to the now growing Odeh family.

Spokane Maternity Shoot: Brendon & Kaylee

A couple years ago I photographed an incredible wedding at Arbor Crest. It was unique, beautiful and fun - and it featured some amazing people. Brendon and Kaylee had a wedding that I’ll always remember, from an incredible first look, to an epic sunset on the rocks overlooking beautiful Arbor Crest. I had so much fun at their wedding, and it was such a highlight for me to see them again, almost exactly a year later (it was about a year and a month) at Brendon’s best mans wedding, Will.
