Absolutely GLOWING ✨ yes, this gorgeous sunset… but even more, this gorgeous mama. So beautiful inside & out.
When she showed up in that blue dress, I was getting serious boy vibes, but then the sky turned quite pink, and I started to think it’s def a little girly 🤔 (they’re not finding out the gender til birth)! Hmm.. what do y’all think?!

And we are praying for her husband’s safe return from deployment!! He was supposed to be in these photos with her 🥲

Which one is your favorite of this beautiful mama?!

“Genuine photos that could only be yours” 💛 A phrase that came to me a while back while describing my photography — it’s all about helping you feel comfortable to be yourselves, serving you and giving you images with feeling that make you think, “wow that is us. 🥹” so that when you look back at them someday, it will transport you right back to that season of your life.

Here’s your reminder — You can plan something fun, something unique, something mundane even (!!!) and we can make it beautiful. Because — You are the art!!!!! 🫶

Anyway, how cool is this family????? I’m obsessed. We planned out a “day-in-their-life” afternoon — started at their home, then got ice cream on the harbor, then skateboarded along the boardwalk and played on the beach! Just as they often do!
There will be many more to come!! Enjoy! 🌞

Ps I still have openings for sessions this Spring and let me tell you…It is PERFECT for photoshoots right now!!!! Let’s get something planned!!!! Link in bio
