I am BEYOND excited to share both of these sessions with you! I typically like to wait to share a maternity session until the baby is born and I can share the baby pictures with you at the same time – but you have no idea how hard it was to keep this maternity/family session to myself until now!

Mom initially came to me about doing a maternity session and she loved the idea of combo-ing it with an-at home lifestyle session to document a “day-in-the-life” before their sweet family of three became four.  It was a not-warm-at-all day in January (in Cleveland? shocking) but these guys rocked it out anyways before we headed back to their house to capture some personal shots 🙂  Mom has the most amazing spirit about her, and a natural beauty that the camera adored.

This guy came flying out of his shell when we got back to his house and his cheeks weren’t freezing off anymore!  He was super goofy, giggly, active and fun.  And I’m pretty sure we were pals by the time I left. 🙂

Right when we were wrapping up – this guy started falling asleep sitting up!  Being cute it hard work apparently.  What an incredible couple of sessions with a family I have really come to love. Thank you all so much for trusting me the way you did.   Enjoy every second of this new phase of life.  Until next time….
