Before & After | Motherhood Lifestyle Session - Bellingham, WA

"There are moments which mark your life. Moments you realize nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts: before this and after this."

At the end of last year, after debating, I took maternity sessions off my website. I had only had a handful in 2017, and I didn't feel hugely confident in them. I had this vision of more lifestyle, cozy-candid maternity sessions...but truthfully no idea how to find couple's with the perfect home for this. Since taking them off my site, I've actually had more inquiries then ever before, and shot more in the last two months than in the last year! This session definitely inspired me to keep doing them, and find ways to bring in more of my documentary style.

The Hetterle's are one of our favorite families. I have had this dream of doing a before and after maternity/newborn session for a long time now. They built this incredible house recently, and Mckenzie was just as excited as me to capture the before and after moments of Brielle entering their family.

I'll be blogging sweet Brielle's fresh 48 soon too, so if you love swooning over fresh baby photos, be sure to check back!
