Shevlin Park Maternity Session with Family of Five | Bend Oregon Family Photographer

I love photographing families with little ones in Bend. The VanRome family was a delight! With three wild boys and one surprise on the way there was no shortage of energy or fun during this session. We all know my love for Shevlin Park, it's been a fav to take my families too because of the big open spaces and the secluded area so there is no fear of kids running too close to the road or feeling like you're doing your session in front of an audience.

Konjett was 33 weeks pregnant at the time of this session and has since welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the family! So excited for them. At the time of our session, I could see how excited these boys were to add a baby to the family. Konjett, like most parents with kids who went through 2020 talked about the struggles of keeping her boys at home for the majority of the year and feeling like their adventurous, outdoor loving spirits were crushed a bit from all the craziness of 2020. Being able to capture families in this last year was actually really special. Families were forced together for weeks on end, and I hope after all of this we appreciate and love our families more. Even if in the weeks of quarantine we thought otherwise haha.

I loved chasing these busy boys. Each was so different but together they were all laughs and all for the games I had. Also who doesn't love climbing on giant logs and playing with sticks. Sounds like a kids dream to me. Also I loved watching Konjett and her husband just sit back and observe for most of this. Some parents want to control a situation which makes kids act out and struggle during a session. I will always take the reins on things and be sure to keep things running smoothly for our session.

If you need updated pictures after a crazy year let's make it happen! Bend will be warm soon and spring is on it's way I can feel it!
