Juggling Act

As a family and maternity photographer, it’s my job to put the family at ease while capturing just the right shots. Sometimes that means wearing multiple hats! My day with the Dharamsi family was equal parts beauty and balance.

Kristin has her hands full, to say the very least! She has two boys, a little girl, and another baby girl on the way. With so much going on in their lives, it was important to the family we get some maternity photographs as a family of five, before things get a bit more chaotic with a stork delivery in late April.

The gift of a new child is always such a magical thing for me to capture for a mother. Carrying each child is a gift, and showcasing the mother’s beauty just before birth is a sight every mom should get to keep with her as those little babies become adults.

The Dharamsis came dressed to impress. The men were sporting their handsome button-down shirts, while the little lady wore a Spring dress made for a field full of wildflowers. Kristin was stunning in a dress that illuminated her pregnancy glow.

I was certainly smitten with the three little ones to say the least. The boys doted over their baby sister, and I’m sure they’ll do the same for their newest addition, due any day now. Little sister was darling and quickly became very comfortable with me. Even reaching out for me to pick her up, after being in front of the lens long enough.


When kids just aren’t feeling the family or maternity session anymore, or perhaps get a little wild, parents often think the whole day is a bust. It’s actually quite the opposite! The Dharamsis shared with me, just days after our shoot together, that they were nervous about the photographs. I was able to share just how wonderfully they turned out.



In my job, it’s all about balance. Finding the right ways to get a laugh or sweet moment, while sometimes holding a little one on my hip. It’s all part of the juggling act, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
