The Portillo’s Maternity Session in Erie, Colorado

The Portillo Family

outdoor maternity mini session

The bump. It’s a magical experience in a women’s life. Growing a baby! The excitement. The preparations. Eagerly awaiting your little one’s arrival. It’s a wonderful time to celebrate! To stop for a moment and appreciate this blessing. Capturing it all during an outdoor maternity mini session with your family ensures you’ll have these memories to look back on and treasure forever.

Capture the wonder of the moment, forever.

Mama looks happy and healthy. Daddy couldn’t be prouder of his growing family. And somebody’s going to be a big sister! Already this little guy is adored by his family. It won’t be long before they all get to give him a cuddle and welcome him home!

Allie, you (and your baby bump) look stunning! Pregnancy suits you. You have that mom-to-be glow just radiating off of you in waves! I wish you all the best in these last few weeks, as you make the final preparations and eagerly anticipate your little man’s arrival. I can’t wait to see you all again and I look forward to meeting the little guy at his newborn session in just a few short weeks. I’m thinking of you! xo, Theresa
