DFW Maternity Photographer

October 5, 2010 by Arena Blake 13 Comments

This weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to take maternity photos of my sister-in-law.
This will be her second baby — a little boy, due in January.
The first go around (with River) she didn’t have photos taken. So, I wanted to be sure to get some this time!
We headed to the Dallas Arboretum to try to get some fallish pictures. It was a fun (but exhausting!) day, and I think we got some good shots.
Enjoy!

The whole family — it was hard to get River to smile.

I love these next few of Alex against the stone wall.

The purple belly is so fun!

Isn’t she gorgeous?

This shot reminds me of Notting Hill.

There were lots of sailboats out on the water.

Love her reflection in the water!

River likes to play on Mommy’s belly.

Her personality really shines through here.

Of course, River wanted to play with the blocks…

River and Mommy

Such a wonderful family.

Andy was being silly and put the pumpkin in his shirt. River didn’t quite know what to think…

She loves Mommy’s belly, though.

So does Daddy.

Now everyone has a belly! 🙂
Thanks for looking!

    Hi there!

    I edit all of my photos in Photoshop CS4 for clarity and color.

    I shot these photos in RAW and did some edits before bringing them into Photoshop for some final tweaks.

    I really love the Pioneer Woman Action Sets and almost always run "Fresh and Colorful" and "Boost" on my photos.

    I've also recently been using the Topaz Labs filter.

    Hope that answers your question!
