Family Maternity Love

My friend Sierra is one of my favorite humans. If you are familiar with my blog, you've seen her face a lot. I shot her engagements (four times, for variety), her first maternity session, newborns for her daughter, family pictures in between all of this, and now her second pregnancy. Aside from my husband, this woman is absolutely my favorite friend. I am so grateful that our lives collided. Her baby boy is coming at the end of May and I'm excited there's going to be more of this lady's DNA in the world. We need it. 

Baby Inside and Out

I feel so lucky to have worked with this beautiful family for both their maternity and newborn pictures! These were so fun to take and I loved getting to know mother, father, big sister, and baby girl.

Poppy Field Maternity

These are my friends, Sierra and Joe. Sierra was my companion for an LDS mission in Honduras for 3 months, and then my roommate for a year. She was there the first time I met my husband, she was the first person (after my parents) I told about my pregnancy, we were each other's unofficial maids of honor--you get it, we're besties. And now she's having a baby girl, and it was my supreme pleasure to take her maternity photos.

Post-Pregnancy Photography Craving

While I was pregnant, I loved cravings--having a craving was the only time I a) knew exactly what I wanted to eat and b) didn't feel sick after eating. I don't get those any more, seeing as my baby was born three months ago. However, last night I was overcome with a desire to take pictures. And who do I call when I need to take pictures at the drop of a hat? Why, the Barwicks, of course! This was not only a fun scouting adventure to a new spot, but a good dry run for Sierra's maternity shoot in a few weeks. And a great experiment with Lightroom online, since my software isn't working :/

PLUS this cute bonus one of my hubby and my baby. I LOVE them!
