The Olson’s | Family Maternity Session

Rhododendrons. Daffodils. Cherry Blossoms. Clematis. The Beach. Sunshine. Paradise? Close. Spring? Not quite. We still have a month and a half left of winter but the flowers around here seem to be in a hurry. Unlike the Mid-Atlantic that’s being hammered with storms and snow, us Northwester’s have been enjoying our warmest winter on record. And it’s not just the flowers that are blooming. Meredith is growing a baby brother for little Annika! I met the Olson’s at Golden Gardens Beach last weekend for a family maternity session. Between the magical morning light and Meredith glowing like a goddess, I could have photographed this family all day long.

Ladies, I don’t know what her secret is but this hot mama’s due date is less than two months away. Doesn’t she look amazing!?

This next set just makes me squeal with delight. I love the expression Meredith and Eric are giving each other. That’s the kind of look you get when you have an awesome 2′ tall assistant that says, “say cheese mommy!”.

This last one on the right is what I like to call a “story-teller”. Every time I look at it I get sucked in to the moment and emotion. There’s definitely a story in there; don’t you think?

As always, there’s so much more in the slideshow! Take a tea break, turn up your speakers and enjoy…

P.S. What do you think of my new picture layouts? I think I’m going to retire the polaroid branded look.

Meredith Olson - Jamie – we had such a great time with you. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job. Can’t wait for our next photo session after the baby arrives!

renee @ FIMBY - Jamie, talk about morning glow! That first shot, top left is awesome, as are they all.

Q. Who’s your assistant? Have you always had one?

What a wonderful location to do these shots. I did some photos for a pregnant friend, my first ever, but we were stuck inside because it’s cold where we live (smile). I would of loved the freedom of being outdoors.

I love how natural this family looks. As always love your photos Jamie – you inspire me!

Jamie - My “assistant” was little two year old Annika ;) I love using kids as my helper when photographing parents together. They relax so much better when their attention is on their little ones and it gives the little ones something to do! Thank you for all your kind words. They’re very much appreciated!

vanessa - adorable. i love the little girls pigtails!

renee @ FIMBY - I thought for a minute you meant a real assistant, that shleps your gear and helps you get people to look so natural – but that’s you! You have such a talent Jamie for capturing people as they really are. I really admire your work.
