I could hear the ding of my phone from the other room. It was a sunny September afternoon. I peaked over, pushed my thumb to the screen, quietly read the message. I smiled excitedly. She was searching for the perfect dress to hug her growing bump for our upcoming session. This growing bump was one that took far longer to appear than expected. Her story to motherhood entailed one of patience and heartbreak and joy. So much joy.
Lauren + Jared, I am so excited for you to meet your growing bundle of joy this fall and to hold him (or her) in your arms for the first time! It was such a privilege to spend the afternoon with you and capturing your growing babe at golden hour! I am looking forward to seeing y’all soon in the delivery room as your little one arrives!
