Through a mutual friend, Melissa and I were connected and together we were able to create some beautiful portraits of her third pregnancy alongside her family. With one handsome boy and a beautiful little girl, the gender of the new child growing within her was going to remain a surprise. The children whispered and giggled, kissed mommy’s tummy and listened to see if they could hear the baby inside. So much love awaits this precious child, pure and honest. I absolutely love photographing the joys, the memories, and the changing of motherhood. It is a privilege to be a part of this time in their lives and create these lasting legacies for their family.




Is there anything more incredible than the miracle of growing new life within you? To feel those delicate flutters turn into strong kicks, those hiccups, the quiet reflective moments as your baby moves, sleeps, and grows inside your belly. And then for that tiny little one to emerge into a new world, immediately knowing her mothers voice, her scent, her feel. And there is a bond already formed that, despite the loss of the actual physical connection they had, can never be broken. The love of a mother and her child.

It is such an honor to capture such an important family moment- there will soon be another tiny member of the family to love, snuggle and create memories with. Mama has two other little ones who can’t wait to find out- will it be a baby brother or baby sister? Not much longer now…
