I’m so excited to share this double-session blog 🙂  As most of you know – I spend A LOT of time hanging out with brand new babies when they arrive into the world.  But, before I captured this couple’s daughter in her first days, they asked me if I would also help them document the love between them as they anticipated her arrival.

And this first session together felt more like an engagement session than a maternity one… these two are adorable together and have such a great spirit, dynamic and friendship between them.  And not to mention – Mom looks absolutely insanely amazing in her third trimester…

And just four short weeks after I captured this little girl hiding in her Mama’s belly…

I love when families have something personal to incorporate into their session. This necklace is baby’s great-great Grandmothers.  How awesome…

I could seriously photograph Mom all day.  Love the sweetness in this image…

 And she loves her Dad.  He sat right next to her on the floor during her “posed” shots and anytime she got fussy – she heard his voice and was calm again…

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to you two for allowing me to help document this journey for you.  You guys are great… and I wish you this much love (and more) in all of the moments to come.   Until next time 🙂
