Maternity & Family portraits

My girlfriend Belinda came over and took some maternity portraits for us. I'm really like them. Maybe a few more to come over the next few days. But here's a few favourites to begin with.



A perfect family portrait.


*Remember that Matt's Tattoo reads "Kia Kaha Kia Maia Rawa" (Be Strong & Courageous)*


This was supposed to be a belly kiss, but she was being cheeky and it screamed to me of sisters telling secrets.

    I've actually been wondering for a few months about how you would incorporate Joshua into your family pictures. I love your family picture up at the top of the page, but how are you planning to handle it when baby comes? Also, what will you tell baby about Joshua as she grows up? These pictures look gorgeous, and I am so excited for your family!

    I love that you included Joshua's picture in your photos - how special is that?!?

    You look great - by that point in all of my pregnancies, I looked awful! Can't wait to "meet" Little Miss once she arrives.

    I love your pictures! They are precious & you look so GREAT!!!! What a beautiful family! Oceana is such a doll face! I, too, love how you have Joshua in your pictures! What a beautiful way to continue his memory!
    That new little baby girl will be here before you know it! How much fun are you going to have dressing up not 1 but 2 beautiful girls!!!

    When I looked at these pictures, I almost started crying. I could blame it on being 12 weeks pregnant, but I probably would cry regardless. I love how Joshua is incorporated. You all are so beautiful.

    Oh I keep looking at these pictures everyday. They are beautiful. I was quick to say that I loved the first family photo, but the one with Oceana holding the picture of Joshua is definitely precious too! Don't have a favorite anymore...they are all great.
