I don’t do many weddings any more - it’s just not as feasible with two kiddos at home.

But when my long time friend asked if I would consider being there as her photographer on her special day… I couldn’t help but say yes.

Because not only do I get to be near them on the biggest day of their lives…

But they trust me to capture themselves.

In their truest way, with their favorite person in the whole world.

HELLO YOU TWO! :) Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to do my thing. I cannot wait for next year!!

There’s really nothing quite like the expectation of a new baby.

And as a mama, no one can quite prepare you for how you begin to feel about the little creature in your belly.

Excitement, exhaustion, and just plain old anxiety start to feel like old friends because they show up day after day.

And while everyone can see your belly expand and the baby grow… it’s somehow still deeply intimate and personal.

We really are capable of incredible things.

Crystalyn, it’s true - pregnant women really do beam… and you are no exception! Thanks so much for allowing me the immense privilege of photographing your little family. I can’t wait to see baby Ellis!!
