Sunriver Maternity Session | Bend Oregon Maternity Photographer

I don't do maternity sessions as often as I would like, so when Gina contacted me for her maternity pictures while she was staying at a cozy cabin for her baby moon with her husband in Sunriver, I was thrilled! Sunriver is a beautiful spot to visit and stay just 15 miles outside of Bend. Gina was 35 weeks when we did these, and I would suggest not waiting any later than this to get your maternity pictures done. You never know when baby is going to arrive those last few weeks of pregnancy.

Gina was a trooper in the cold weather for these pictures. A mini session was all we needed to get some stunning shots of her. And we were able to get 3 outfit changes and 2 different locations in a 30 minute window with tons of variety. I remember being pregnant with my first and the excitement and nerves over all the unknowns and the life changes about to come. And what a crazy ride its been since I became a mother, but there really is nothing like being pregnant and the anticipation of what's to come.

I loved making Gina feel beautiful in this stage, because she is! I know being pregnant can not always feel like the most glamorous time for woman, whether its weight gain, stretch marks, or kankles, but being pregnant and becoming a mother is the most unique and empowering experience I've ever gone through. Its a privilege to be able to capture mom's in this exciting stage of life and I can't wait to photograph more expecting moms in Bend.

If you're an expecting mom for the first time looking for a maternity session near Bend or pregnant and adding another to your growing family I would love to photograph this exciting time in your life!
