When I found out these two initially were not going to have a maternity session my first instinct was what!? Are they crazy? 🙂 Of course, I know that belly photos aren’t for everyone but I am a strong believer (now that I have 2 children) that there will come a time that you WILL want to remember this time, it’s so quick and fleeting in the grand scheme of life, and there is just so much excitement.  I love seeing the look of love and pure energetic excitement in the anticipation of a first child (or second or third or more!)

There are maybe a few more times in a woman’s life that she is just as stunning and glowing and beautiful as when she is expecting a child. I think it has to do with, in part, how much happiness an expectant mother exudes (even in those final, potentially grouchy days!) and that happiness is formed in a beautiful aura around her.  I just love it.

So these two gorgeous parents to be, braved the bitter cold and the slippery ice to capture this time!
And I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

As I finished packaging up their session’s photos, I got an unexpected and very exciting bit of news; baby girl made an early debut! I had been excited for February to come along and here we are, in the last week of January and my darling makes her appearance.  I have been fortunate enough to get a sneak peak of her and she’s adorable! I can’t wait to get my hands on her!
