Pregnancy Glow :: Elena Wilken :: Portland Or. Maternity Photographer

Most of the time my sessions run somewhere between 1 1/2 and 2 hours (young children don't have the patience or that kind of attention span so that type of session could be around an hour long, and on the other side of the spectrum I can spend longer than 2 hours with newborns, until they 'give in' and get comfy and sleepy.) From every session I shoot to get out of it about 25-30 really good images that I then edit and present.

Well, as it is I tend to take more shots than I need (the sessions seem to be more fun towards the end and children as well as adults tend to relax and be more likely to share genuine smiles and be themselves during the second half of the session). I never regretted overshooting. Except for when I have to narrow down the session to the best shots.

This time I really did 'overshoot'. I'm not even going to mention how many shots we took the hour and a half I spend with Ema. And how many of them I really love. And what a hard time I had picking some for the blog post :))

She is beautiful and she has that glow about herself that many mothers - to - be have. And it is hard not to want to capture every once of that beauty. Ema there is a lot more where these came from. Literally ;)
