I really enjoyed this maternity session. Nothing like getting wet up to your knees on a warm spring day! We shot this session up at Tanyard Creek on a gorgeous afternoon that was 80°. Baby Rivers will be here soon, and I can’t wait to meet him!

Being invited into a family’s most important day is an incredible honor. To be able to give them clear memories of such a miraculous day I can’t put into words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each of you for inviting me to such a moment.

Mom was so worried that things weren’t progressing after a while that she decided she’d try to get some sleep. I left the room and took a stroll to snag some images and give them a little down time. I hadn’t been out of the room 15 minutes when I felt my phone vibrating. It was the dad. He said ‘where are you?’, and I replied ‘just down the hall on my way back.”. He said it was time to push…and I really thought he was teasing me for just a second. The last time we checked mom was only at a 6! I hustled to the room, and sure enough it was time! Mom did so awesome and dad had the biggest smile plastered on his face the whole time. Congratulations F & C! He is simply beautiful. 🙂

It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon when I finally got to meet this year’s Single Parent Giveaway winner. Travis and his daughters are big Captain America fans, so of course we had to showcase a bit of that. I told the girls I haven’t seen the latest CA movie, so no spoilers!

We started off at a playground, because really, what better place to take kids?! Chloe and Kendle were so great, and have the sweetest personalities in their own right. 🙂

Beautiful little girls with such beautiful personalities. Dad has certainly got his work cut out for him, but after meeting him I know he’s got this handled. 🙂

Dear Dallas,

You were such a little trooper during your first photoshoot. You streched and yawned, blew bubbles and coo’d. You slept and showed us your beautiful eyes, too. And much to your daddy’s dismay you pooped all the way down to his boots. 🙂 I hope you get lots of sleep now, because you will need all your energy to keep up with your big brothers!

xoxo

Dear Devin,

You were such a tiny little thing when you came into the studio with your parents and big sister. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on you…but you had other plans. You didn’t want to be put down for even a moment. Mom said you hadn’t pooped in a while, and I agreed since you were passing gas like nobody’s business! Finally (after a long while) you pooped. And boy oh boy did that make you happy! You went to sleep like a champ. Even though you won’t remember having your picture taken your mom and dad will. Oh and Devin…your big sister loves you a lot! xoxo
