Welcoming baby boy #2 was the highlight for this session! I have been capturing this sweet family over the years and you can't obviously see in these photos, but I too was due the same week as Carli in this session! We were both pregnant and bumping around during their session!
The foothills of Southern Oregon in the fall are just golden! It was especially showing off for this evening! Mt. Ashland is in the backdrop along with the Siskiyou mountain range! Those big oaks turning yellow and the tall grasses are gorgeous!
My approach this session was to not steer away from that bright sun, but incorporate and appreciate it as much as possible. I wanted Carli to take it in and just bask in that beautiful light for a moment. Creative ideas were flowing and I loved her willingness to go with the flow and embrace each thought I had! I made sure to have them love on their big boy and soon to be brother, as well as have some intimate and dear moments between just the couple.
Enjoy this special session highlighting the beauty of the Rogue Valley with the kindest family!
