Truckee Family Photographer Capturing Milestone Maternity Photos

About two weeks ago I met up with a family I have photographed through their engagement, wedding day, pregnancy portraits, first newborn home session … With baby number two on the way they wanted a relaxed outdoor backyard maternity session in Truckee. As your Truckee family photographer I specialize in creating maternity photos that feel natural and editorial, perfect for milestone photography.

Natural Backyard Maternity Session in Truckee

Their three year old daughter with a unique mix of blonde and red hair (just like her dad’s) ran through the forested yard while her mother cradled her baby bump. The late afternoon sun filtered through the pine trees as we captured genuine smiles and silliness. I guided them through simple natural poses to highlight their connection and the excitement of welcoming a new sibling. Big sister is excited!
