So many times I’m asked if the Art of Pregnancy Photography is a new thing. While relatively so, I’ve been working with pregnant women and their families for nearly 18 years. Perhaps Seattle is on the cutting edge, but I think what’s new is our comfort with documenting and then publicly sharing this once private, almost forbidden form.
Since Annie Leibowitz made natural the sharing of Demi Moore’s beautiful, pregnant AND voluptuous form, I’ve seen an enormous increase in sessions per year. Above all reasons to photograph, I feel most honored and humbled when chosen to capture this fleeting, often emotional, miraculous evolution.

  • Bill Cawley - Amazing work! Thank you for sharing these. Such a wonderful thing for a family to have documented. 🙂ReplyCancel

  • JanetKlinger - Hi Bill! Interestingly enough, it’s often the Dad (or Partner) who encourages the pregnancy session to take place. I guess no matter how we might feel (I know I felt enormous!) our partner sees our growing body as beautiful. Rightly so!ReplyCancel

Admittedly, I like indulging in pampering as much as the next person, like going to the spa at Alderbrook Resort. But often I want to be outside all day. Then I care less about the accommodations than the surrounding landscape. On vacations like these I don’t need a spa to apply toenail polish when toes are propelling forward my hiking boots. (Not that having pretty feet at the end of the day hurts either!)

Perfect for outdoor-centered vacations, Forest Service Cabins provide cozy shelter, complete with an equipped kitchen. And boy is the price right!

Kerry McKean and Marcela Touskova invited us to join them Thanksgiving weekend at Hamma Hamma Cabin near Hood Canal. I was excited by the possibilities. Bonding between our 3 adventuresome girls, introducing them to new hiking locations, and exploring animal life along the Canal was just the beginning. Little did we know it would snow, making the weekend all the more enchanting. Unprepared without winter attire, I didn’t motivate to shoot, only play in the snow. What is evident in the photos is my appreciation for stopping at Rising Stars to purchase new rubber boots.
