I say it all of the time – but there are really few things that remind me more of why this job is so awesome than when I get to photograph really special moments for my friends.  And how much more special does it get than those final stages of your first pregnancy, and then that moment that you welcome your first baby into the world?  Was so honored when these two asked me to document that for them … and even MORE excited knowing what an easy job it would be working with these two kind, laid-back kids.

Our maternity session day was NOT warm. (like… at all)  I’m pretty sure there were a few windy raindrops hitting our faces along the way but these two could have cared less…  which  just added to their awesome factor. And the adorable meter?  Off the charts…

And in a whole new snowy season later … this little lady finally joined their lives and took “adorable” to a whole new level.

Congratulations, you two!   We’ve come a long way in our lives over these last couple of years (<– right?!)  but it makes my heart so happy to see this next phase happen for you.  Congratulations on all that has been, all that is, and all that is about to be in your new lives as a family of three.  It’s an awesome ride.  Until next time…

Please don’t give me those eyes, Bailey. I’m sorry.  I meant to say “Family of Four” 🙂
