Sparks Lake {Bend, Oregon} Maternity + Family Session

I first met Maggie years ago when I was working childcare at Barre3 in Bend, Oregon. Maggie was an instructor and although she has moved on to other endeavors (she’s a fabulous real estate agent!), we have kept in touch via social media.

Maggie reached out to me for a maternity/family session and I was thrilled when she picked one of my favorite spots-Sparks Lake. Mountain views, water, wide open spaces-Sparks Lake provides the most amazing backdrop.

I can’t wait to meet the new addition to the family soon-a baby girl!

The Ward Family | Maternity Photos | Smith Rock Oregon

I knew as soon as we exchanged that first email that Rebekah and I would jive. She just "sounded" like such a friendly person, plus she was up for meeting at one of my favorite places-Smith Rock. 

I could hear Rebekah and Dale's little girl, Clara, chatting away as soon as soon as I arrived. Clara didn't need much warming up to me and she even showed me her new baby doll, appropriately named "Baby". At the end of our session, Clara even gave me a kiss on the cheek! 

I'll leave you with my favorites from this lovely maternity session. Smith Rock certainly is a breathtaking backdrop for any photo session. I cannot wait to find out of the newest member of the family will be another little girl, or a boy! What do you think it will be?

Ty - Shevlin Park, Bend OR Maternity Session

I first met Ty years ago when we both worked childcare at our local barre3 studio. We've kept in contact ever since and I was so honored when she asked me to take her maternity photos. We spent about an hour and a half talking, laughing and exploring. Little miss Veda is quite the sassy girl and multiple times belted out Frozen's "Let It Go" for us. We had a blast! 

Ty, you're beautiful in every way. I can't wait to meet and photograph baby girl <3
