During pregnancy, most people dedicate most of their energy towards preparing for childbirth. And that’s totally understandable, most likely you haven’t done it before. You’ve got your birth plan in place. But what most people graze over is postpartum planning. Adding a new human to your family is the biggest dynamic shift you’ll experience. Whether you’re in a partnership, marriage or a single parent, your world is about to take on a very different look.

If you’re expecting a baby in the winter months, most likely your maternity session will have classic PNW weather - grey skies, cool temps and probably rain. But you know what? Those can still be beautiful photos.
