Fall Maternity

I just couldn't pass up the fall colors this week in my front yard. I asked 4 brave women it they would pose for me in all their beautiful, pregnant glory, just so that I could satisfy a creative urge.
This "creative urge" that I get (pretty often) is almost as bad as my sweet tooth!
Here's a sampling of the portraits we created.

New Mama

I just photographed a beautiful lady who is about to have her first baby. I photographed Kelly and her husband Maneesh a few years ago for their wedding and I was thrilled that they called me to be a part of this next phase in their life.
Actually, Kelly called me and asked if I would do her maternity photos as a surprise for Maneesh. Of course, I said Yes! After a little secret planning and lots of hoping that the little bundle wouldn't show up before our session, we finally got it done.
Well, After Kelly saw the photos online, she loved them all and couldn't wait to give Maneesh the artist print she picked out for him and just had to show him the images online.
It was a great surprise for me to open my studio door to see Maneesh standing there with Kelly when they came by to pick up his special gift print. They were so appreciative and grateful for what I could do for them.
Truly...two of my favorite people!
Here's a small sampling.

All the newborn babies!

As promised, I wanted to share some of the cuties that have come through the studio this summer. Talk about a baby boom! I've never seen so many newborns in one season. Here's a sample of a few.

Baby Boom

There has been a huge baby boom this summer at Rebecca Douglas Photography. I have seen so many adorable newborns and beautiful pregnant women in the studio and I just had to share my latest maternity session.
Amy and Charlie are the proud parents-to-be. We did the photo shoot on Vashon Island at their home. Amy is a horse lover and owner of 2, so I just had to put her on one...much to Charlie's dismay! But all worked out beautifully. Now I'm just waiting to meet the new little one!

Tomorrow I'll share some of my favorite newborns from this summer.

Twins Twins and more Twins

Something must be in the air. This week has been baby week at the studio...I had a maternity session, a newborn session, my friend Sara had her baby and of course (if you are keeping up with celebrity news) another set of Hollywood twins have arrived.
Yes, that's right Angelina and Brad's twins were born in Nice, France yesterday. So we sit and wait with baited breath for the first pictures (let's admit it...we are a bit curious).
This picture is of the Sullivan Twins. "Are they famous?" you ask. Famously cute and good natured. What more could the parents of twins need?

Maternity

When I was pregnant with my daughter 4 years ago, I was excited, but I had no idea how deeply the Grace, Beauty and Art of a woman's body during pregnancy would effect me.
Whether it's a first or fourth pregnancy, my wish for every pregnant woman is for them to find someone to document this amazing journey.

A Baby's Life

Something I've talked about in a previous post is my "1st Year Series" program that has been really popular.
This program is designed to follow a year in the life of a new baby, starting with a Maternity portrait with mom and dad to be, followed by a newborn, 6 month, and 1 year session. We top it off with a gorgeous set of 4 mini albums or 1 larger album designed to tell the story of your amazing journey.
I've just finished my most current series with Havana. It has been so much fun watching her grow this last year. I hope you enjoy them.

1 Year Series

So, Last year I launched a new portrait series called "1st Year Series". It's been a huge hit! New parents are loving the idea of documenting their amazing journey of pregnancy and baby's first year of life. Here's a few images of Havana. What a sweet little girl! We are in the middle her first year and it is so much fun to watch her grow. I can't wait for her 1st Birthday session. Chocolate Cake...Here we come!

The series includes 4 photo sessions; the most popular are maternity, newborn, 6 months, and 1st Birthday. 10 images from each session are put into its own cute 5x5 leather bound album for you to share and treasure.

From Belly to Baby (and some cute books to boot!) How cool is that!
