Iโve taken photos of my best friend, Kelsey, for more than half of our lives and it was such an honor and joy to be able to take maternity photos for her with her boo, Julian and little baby Charlie (in her belly). This powerful duo recently moved from Portugal to Portland during these challenging times and Iโm so thankful we were able to meet up in Sacramento to see each other and document this important milestone in their lives. We took these photos at William Land Regional Park with 3 outfit changes ๐. So so thankful and hope you can see and enjoy the joy that naturally radiates from these two.
