I met this crew in the fall 2011 when their family of 3 celebrated baby Gavin’s first birthday. Gavin loved my camera, and gave us the best smiles. When mom called me to tell me she’s expecting another – this time a baby girl – I was ecstatic for them! I was thrilled to do her maternity session and couldn’t wait to see Gavin again. Except this time Gavin did not like my camera (me) so much. After a lot of coaxing we finally got those family shots to document their last time as a family of three, and of course once we buckled Gavin into the car he decided to smile and call my name 🙂

Mom is simply stunning, and this pregnancy definitely agrees with her. Her baby bump is adorable and she radiates such happiness I could have photographed her all day. (Oh, but it was 30 degrees outside, so I stopped when I could no longer feel my fingers and toes and was pretty sure we’d frozen their baby.) Mama you’re amazing (dad you’re awesome for putting up with us), I can’t wait to meet your princess!
