This couple was an absolute joy to photograph.
The best part about them is that you can tell how much they love each other. They are madly in love and it showed in every single picture, which makes my job incredibly easy. They were the kind of people that you instantly meet and want to be friends with. You also know after being around them for a few minutes that they will be amazing parents.
It was clear how much they loved Gavin before they ever saw his sweet face.
And aren't they gorgeous?
Maternity sessions happen to be one of my very favorite because you are celebrating the life of someone you have never laid eyes on. All you know of them are their flutters and kicks. You imagine who they will be and who they will become but at this point they are a complete mystery. Some people avoid having pictures taken of themselves when they are pregnant because they may not love sporting a few extra pounds or all of the crazy things those ten months can do to you... but those are moments are an absolute miracle. I have never met someone who said, "I wish I would not have captured that season of life in pictures." I only hear the opposite. I hear parents, mostly women, saying how they wish they had each of the pregnancies documented. The time we get to carry these little ones is limited so having pictures to look back on and remind yourself how exciting, overwhelming and scary it all seemed is priceless.
I asked them both to write down what they hoped Gavin would have of theirs.... and then of each other.
