Oh Baby! Waiting for the new arrival...

Last spring I had the honor of photographing Natanel and Eliza's beautiful beach wedding...this weekend, I caught up with them to capture some images while she awaits the arrival of their first-born child. I love this image taken of them lit by window light in a beautiful Northwest setting.
We were introduced to this park and rainforest-like path a few weeks ago by Daniel, who had completed his Eagle Scout project at this location. I knew I would like to come back someday for a photo shoot...fortunately, Natanel and Eliza had the same idea.
We ended up at Newcastle Golf course, a place I love to come to for scenic images and beautiful backdrops.

More than just creating a pretty picture, I have been interested in spending time capturing the heart and soul of each indivdual I photograph. I asked Natanel and Eliza to spend time alone to reflect on their lives together and the family that they have been called to be as they welcome their new baby. I really wanted them to have a moment together in which they could forget all about me and my camera, and focus on a shared experience that would be meaningful now and in the days to come.


Natanel & Eliza - many blessings to you guys. Know that we love you and it goes without saying...we look forward with joy to welcoming your baby to our community!
