Sjuts Maternity on the Rogue River

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before.The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.  -Osho

The sun was shining bright and breaking through the tall evergreens when we met for this beautiful shoot. The day was beyond lovely, and this couple was even lovelier! Megan and Elliott, you are going to rock parenthood! I am so thrilled for you as you prepare for welcome your sweet baby girl. I hope you savor these final days as a duo, and soak in the newborn season.

Preparing for the birth of a baby can be emotional, wonderful, hard, and amazing. I always encourage couples to really enjoy the last few months and weeks before baby is born, but also to remember that your life isn't "over" when you welcome a new family member. In fact, it becomes even sweeter and more wonderful. Life looks different, sure, but it's different in the very best way. Congratulations to this newly-minted family, as they grow and learn together.
