Not just a belly {Portland Maternity Photography}

37 Weeks Pregnant - Looking at Son

I think close to 90% of my business these days is weddings, but portraits are such fun too. I especially love maternity sessions. While I take a few that are belly shots, I approach maternity photos not very different than engagement photography, or family portraits.

Sweet Mama $95 a mini portrait … [Read more...]
