“I love you right up to the moon – and back. “

Courtney & Nick and their boys Micah & Wyatt are such a special beautiful family and I was thrilled to be able to help capture this exciting moment in their lives!  When I heard that Courtney was expecting baby #3, I was instantly excited with the possibility of doing a maternity and/or newborn session with these guys, and you can see why. The boys are beautiful bundles of smiles, giggles and energy. I have so much fun capturing the joy a child brings to the environment around them and this was no exception.

Happy Monday everybody! This post is one I’ve been so excited to share – it hardly made it to today but alas, here it is. Ashley looked absolutely gorgeous, no surprise, and she is so brave. Not only was she completely down for anything, but she even braved below zero temperatures and a wicked wind barefoot! 

I love the tenderness and intimacy that is captured in this moment between Ashley & Jason. The softness in the lighting and focus helps to highlight this special moment between them. 

Seriously, how stunning is Ashley!?

Craziest, bravest pregnant lady I’ve ever known (and in a good way – promise!) – it was hard to stand there and not shiver but when Jason and I saw Ashley with no fear out in that cold it made us feel pretty silly for saying how cold we were feeling. Ashley, you’re incredible!  You can see now why I found it impossible to pick favourites from both this session and part 1 (click on link to see part 1).

You may remember back in the fall, I was able to capture family pictures for the Janke-Martin family. Well, this past week, I had a blast with Ashley and her family when I was invited to come and capture maternity pictures in their home. She is due the end of January and I could not have been more excited for this opportunity to help her capture this special moment in their lives. I’ve been bursting at the seams going through images from our time together. Not that I pick favorites, but these sessions had to be one of my favorites. Ashley looked stunning, Jason and the kids were wonderful, and as usual we had a blast. I’ve had a hard time narrowing down favorites from our time because they were all my favorites.
The best part? There’s more! Make sure to stay tuned to the blog next week for part 2….. A maternity boudoir session! Trust me, it’s worth the wait. Ashley looks stunning and as usual is the bravest pregnant lady I’ve known!

Two weeks ago, I met up with LaRee and her gorgeous family. What troopers they were – it was -10 with wind chill but you would’ve never guessed the temperature with the warm smiles coming from this family. Thanks for sticking it out out there with me you guys!
