Congratulations to Emily and Logan on their exciting news! It was such an honor for me as a Portland photographer to capture this special moment in their lives with their furry companions Riku and Axel. In this blog post, I’ll share their announcement photos at the beautiful Hoyt Arboretum and some tips for capturing the perfect pregnancy announcement.

Incorporating Pets into Pregnancy Announcement Photos

Emily and Logan wanted to include their beloved Australian Shepherds, Riku and Axel, in their pregnancy announcement photoshoot. These two furry models were the perfect addition to the shoot, and you may recognize them from a Christmas photoshoot we did together back in 2021! Emily even painted her nails blue to match the gender of their baby boy, adding a sweet and personal touch to the photos.

Choosing a Location for Pregnancy Announcement Photos

The Hoyt Arboretum provided the perfect backdrop for the pregnancy announcement photoshoot. With its lush greenery and towering trees, it created a peaceful and serene atmosphere, and the variety of gardens and trails offered so many options for unique and beautiful shots. As a pregnancy announcement photographer, I always recommend choosing a location that is meaningful and special to the couple. A location that reflects their personalities and style can make the photoshoot more enjoyable and meaningful.

Capturing the Moment

Emily and Logan were naturals in front of the camera, and their love for each other and their growing family was so evident in every photo. As a pregnancy announcement photographer, it’s important to capture the couple’s personalities and the unique aspects of their relationship. I love capturing candid moments that show genuine emotion, which will be cherished by the couple for years to come.

Choosing the Best Time for Pregnancy Announcement Photos

The best time to take pregnancy announcement photos is around the 12-week mark when the baby bump starts to show. This is the perfect time to capture the excitement and joy of announcing the pregnancy. However, every pregnancy is different, and some moms-to-be may want to wait a bit longer to have their photoshoot. It’s important to talk to your photographer to determine the best time for your pregnancy announcement photos.

In conclusion, capturing a pregnancy announcement is a special moment in a couple’s life. Incorporating pets into the photoshoot, choosing a location that reflects the couple’s personalities, and capturing genuine emotion are essential elements for creating beautiful and meaningful pregnancy announcement photos.
