maternity and paternity portrait photography

Though this photo shoot originated as an expectant father’s gift to his wife, envisioned as portraits of her, in the event the couple decided they wanted the first “family portraits” of the three of them, mom, dad, and baby Ella. Ella was traveling incognito at the time, but she would reveal herself very soon. We needed to go no farther than the couple’s back yard to find pleasing backgrounds for the session.
