I had stopped at the waterfall on my way to their session to make sure it was safe. You might remember that the beginning of July was SO VERY RAINY!!

It was PERFECT!!

They are an absolute DREAM to work with!?

I still can’t believe that this waterfall is in Waverly and not Hawaii!!

GORGEOUS!!

We had their session on a Thursday in mid-July – and Melissa – who wasn’t due until mid-August – delivered their baby girl on MONDAY. MONDAY!!

I was SO happy we were able to schedule their session and make it happen before their daughter made her arrival!

Melissa & Spencer – THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting IN the water and being one of my FAVORITE couples to photograph!!

I can’t WAIT to meet that baby girl of yours!!

I’ve been taking photos of Melissa for well over TEN years!!

I was SO excited when I found out she was pregnant! I immediately began thinking of what their maternity photos would look like!

PERFECTION!!!

SERIOUSLY!! They are an absolute DREAM to photograph!

Working with Melissa and Spencer always fuels my creativity!!

We had a hard time finding a date that worked for both of us – but thankfully we found a Thursday evening that worked for both of us!

I knew I could count on Melissa & Spencer to say YES about my next request!!

They’ve been waiting YEARS for this!!

Dave & Courtney – I am SO happy for you both. I am so honored to pray with you throughout this journey.

I can’t WAIT to see you again soon!!

I met Courtney & Dave a few years ago – they are friends with Stephanie and loved her photos!

I soon discovered that they were praying for a baby. I put them on my list and have been praying and trusting with them.

I met them at a new creek for their yearly photos last September. A few days – maybe a week – later – she messaged me. GUESS WHAT!?

l cried. They were pregnant. I cried and thanked God.

LOOK AT THOSE SMILES!!

She was the most awake and alert baby I’ve had yet! She is absolutely GORGEOUS!

THOSE SHOTS!!!

OH MY HEART!

Dad holding her little hand – THE SWEETEST!!

I LOVE becoming friends with the people I photograph. I love even more praying for you. Crying with you. Waiting with you. Rejoicing with you.

Stay tuned – because I’ve got more to show you of this sweet girl and her momma and dad!
