Painted Hills Oregon Maternity Session
When this adventurous couple reached out to me about their maternity session, I knew right away we’d be a perfect fit. They wanted something ethereal, wild, and timeless, with dramatic landscapes that felt like they were pulled from a dream—and of course, I had just the spot in mind: the Painted Hills, one of Oregon’s seven wonders. There’s something about those layered hues and rolling formations that makes you feel like you’re standing on another planet. It’s the perfect place to create images that feel connected to nature and overflowing with romance.
I don’t photograph maternity sessions often because, let’s be honest, I can’t stand the cliché poses that feel stiff and overly focused on just the bump. But when the right couple comes along, ready to embrace the wildness of the outdoors and have some fun, I’m all in. This session was about so much more than just documenting pregnancy—it was about capturing their love story as they stand on the edge of a new chapter, surrounded by one of the most stunning backdrops the Pacific Northwest has to offer. We laughed, we explored, and we soaked in the magic of this incredible place, creating photos that feel intimate, carefree, and utterly them.
