If your blog post's featured images are fairly low resolution, you may want to delete the top image canvas. Your blog will still look gorgeous, but the top banner section looks best when you upload an image that's 2500px on the long side. You can also use our fave TinyJpeg to make them small so your blog posts still load quickly!

Pole Steeple Baby Announcement Photos

August 28, 2026

Baby announcement photos are always the best sessions to photograph. The next phase of life, the sweet anticipation, the joy-filled waiting – it is the best! So when my brother-in-law and wife got pregnant and asked for photos, Pole Steeple was the first place Emily thought of. It is a special place for both of them, so it made perfect sense to take their baby announcement photos there! We hiked up after a good rainstorm and prayed for the rain to hold off so we could get a little bit of a sunset. And though we didn’t get crazy good colors, we did get a beautiful night! We were the only ones on the mountain, allowing us to enjoy the evening while I captured these adorable photos for them.

We are so looking forward to little baby girl making her way into the world! Congratulations to Luke + Emily on their little one!

BEHIND THE LENS

Meet
    Holly

Photographer, artist, mother, wife, author, inspired by nature, good light, and you.

I've been a photographer for over ten years and an equestrian for over eighteen. I feel most alive and creative when I’m surrounded by nature — sweeping landscapes, quiet beauty, and golden light. I cherish time with my family and the people I love most, and I hold the Sabbath close as a reminder that rest is as sacred and necessary as hard work. Above all, I believe life’s greatest gift is found in both loving deeply and being deeply loved in return.
