Farm Girl Chic Maternity: Bethany (Part II) .... Eugene Oregon Photographers

Here it is! More from Bethany's Maternity Session. As I said in the first post, Bethany is a very talented photographer, whom I have admired for years. It was pure dreaminess to photograph her!! Not only is she a raving beauty with grace oozing out of her, but she kept lining me out so my job was easy-peasy; it was awesome... We shot at her mom's place in the country, and Bethany expertly guided me to great light and great settings. Fun, FUN, FUN!!!



I love the literal "nest" feeling of this one:




As I was telling a friend about my great evening with Bethany, my friend asked, "What was her style?" After thinking it over, I landed on "farm girl chic". ;0) It was truly such a perfect combination... Bethany and Josh both grew up in the country, so they are completely at home there, but Bethany brought the sparkle of the city, too, with her fabulous styling:




Now, I know I recently blogged about my move toward specializing in weddings and high school senior girls, but I'm sorely tempted to add "maternity" to that list! I loooove doing maternity sessions. Actually, I also love doing commercial portraits--such as head shots for websites. But somehow, saying, "I specialize in weddings, high school senior girls, maternity, and commercial portraiture" just starts to make my tongue feel fat! ;0)





Yup, the kids are just as cute and sweet as their parents:


...and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Two-year-old Selah picked out her own dress! With the addition of the polka dot tights and boots, Bethany appropriately dubbed her baby girl's look "farm girl cute". ;0)




















Did I mention we laughed a lot? We laughed. A LOT! You see, Miss B is hilarious:










This was the very last shot I snapped that night, and I think it's a fitting image to end with:


Bethany (and Josh, Jude, & Selah, too!) - Thank you SO much for the privilege of capturing you during this sweet season of life. I can't wait to meet #3!!

Maternity: Bethany .... Eugene Oregon Maternity Photographer

Oh! My! Goodness! Gracious!!! I had the honor of capturing Bethany (and a bit of her sweet family, too) in all her jaw-dropping maternal gorgeousness this weekend. Bethany is a Portland-area photographer who I've long admired, and gleaned inspiration from. Obviously, she's incredibly beautiful. But more than that, she has no pretense. Just pure, unadulterated joy radiating out to everyone within a five mile radius. We laughed so hard, and had restful heart-to-heart conversation in the crisp October sunset. It was dreamy:





Look for lots more from Bethany's session later this week!

Family: Us! (Part II).... Oregon Photography

As promised, here are some of the pics my very talented sis-in-law, Ashley, recently snapped of my family! She is SO good!! The heavy mist didn't even phase her, although it did phase my hair... but I'm not complaining! I'm super thankful to have this sweet season of life captured. THANK YOU, Ash!!!



Speaking of my hair... I color-correct photos using the eyedropper tools in Curves, and was despairing that I couldn't find any grey in our orange/blue/brown pallet. Then, I saw my hair. Like, really saw my hair. And ALL! THE! GREY!!! So yes, for the first time ever, I used the abundant grey in my hair to adjust the color of an image... LOL! As handy as it was, I think this might just be the last photos featuring my salt-and-pepper self. The box of hair dye is just waiting to be opened...



















I particularly love these of my dear hubby with the kids:






It's such a blessing to have a sis-in-law who values the same kind of images I do... Not bent on always having everyone looking right at the camera with plastic-y smiles, but capturing the "natural vibe" of the family:
