I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Kelley + Dave many times, including their gorgeous luxe wedding at Keep Memory Alive. After a couple years of wedded bliss, they decided to expand their family and I earned a new role in their lives: maternity photographer! Move over Shea and Logan (their two lovable labs), a new kid was coming to town. For their annual holiday card photos, Kelley + Dave decided to announce their pregnancy and brought their pups along with matching “big brother” and “big sister” scarves. They also used their first ultrasound photo in a few images in case you couldn’t get the hint from the dogs.
Check out images from their announcement couple’s session at Spring Mountain Ranch below and then keep scrolling to see more from their in-home maternity session. Hair and makeup by Your Beauty Call.
Six months later, we included the dogs again in some loving in-home portraits. Using your home is a great way to make memories of your love and pregnancy experience, and it’s a way to freeze this moment in your lives… your home, your furniture, your pets, your nursery. I absolutely love the intimacy it brings into a maternity session.
