Maternity Session: Brian & Courtnie | Upland, CA | Upland, CA Photographer

I was so excited when Courtnie contacted me to photograph her maternity session. Courtnie is my best friend’s older sister and she is going to be such an amazing mom. I photographed Brian and Court’s engagement session years ago when my business was just taking off. I have always loved their relationship and I have been waiting for the day when they were going to announce that they were having a baby. Brian and Courtnie are high school sweethearts and they are only a few months away from welcoming their first baby girl! These two have an effortless relationship, they are hilarious, and I love how intentional they are toward each other. Courtnie is incredibly creative and she can make any event or craft a perfect Pinterest sensation. If you saw pictures from Chelsea’s (Courtnie’s younger sister) bridal shower or bachelorette party, you know what I am talking about! She is 8 months pregnant but that doesn’t stop her from working full time, working out (she’s in better shape than most), planning her sister’s wedding, and taking on a handful of tedious tasks that are presented to her each day. Brian is the perfect compliment to Courtnie and he is just as handy! They recently purchased their first home and he is always finding creative ways to personalize the rooms and their backyard. If their life wasn’t crazy enough, they also threw a new puppy into the mix. It’s going to be so fun watching their sweet girl and pup grow up together. Courtnie’s maternity outfits are some of my all time favorites and I am in love with their entire session! Congrats Brian and Courtnie, I can’t wait to smother your girl with so much love!

Obsessed with this maternity dress!

I can’t imagine how cute their little girl is going to be… Just look at these two!

Love this shot!

I always encourage my mamas to wear outfits that show off the bump!
It’s the one time you don’t have to suck in for a photo. Embrace the curves!

How cute is this outfit change?

Such a pretty mama!

Loved this location on the side of the road. Sometimes it’s worth pulling over!
