Kathy + Daniel

This sweet couple is soooo near and dear to my heart because they’ve consistently returned to me to help capture all the big milestones in their life! Around two years ago, Kathy reached out to me asking if I would take their engagement photos… I hesitantly agreed because I didn’t really consider myself a photographer (it was just a hobby back then). About a year or so later, she asked if I would take her and Daniel’s one year wedding anniversary photos and this time… I was like YES of COURSE! And now… she’s asked me to take her maternity photos. I could just sit here and sob for days because I absolutely adore these two and how much trust they’ve put into me!!

I’ve already raved about this stunning hidden gem of a location in a couple other posts, so I’ll skip that part, but how beautiful do these two look here?! This is such an incredibly accessible location for maternity sessions and family sessions. Kathy was 36 weeks pregnant at the time of this session, and easily completed the 10-12 minute uphill hike to the photo spot. I’m just so in loooove with how these photos turned out! Every time you turn, it basically looks like you’re at a different location. Definitely my newest favorite location to recommend and take clients!

Oh my, don’t forget to take a peek at Daniel’s ring tattoo! I was told that he lost his wedding band one week after their wedding… so him and Kathy got matching initial tattoos on their ring fingers haha! The cutest thing ever!! I have to convince my husband to do the same now!! Okay, now scroll away and soak in all this maternity magic goodness below! (:
