Maternity Session: Nicole + Andrew

…a sweet, little Maternity session of an even sweeter couple…

I’ve known Nicole for almost a decade, but I couldn’t be more honored or humbled to have shot pictures of her before she embarks on becoming a mother. Now that I’ve experienced it first hand, there is nothing better. Nothing more real, and nothing more fulfilling.

Goodness Nicole, you are beautiful!!

All my love you two. You are already amazing parents and I wish you nothing but life’s biggest blessings.

Happy Father’s Day, my Love

I don’t want to get overly sappy or drag on about how perfect you really are. But that’s hard. So I will only speak to this: I have been blessed, truly blessed beyond measure, to have had you in my life. To have had you as a husband, a partner, a best friend…I thought there was nothing greater. But as I’ve watched you raise our son and be SO intimately involved, my cup runneth over! You are the father I’ve only seen in movies. A type so rare, it’s hard to believe you are my reality. You are Eli’s reality. And we will never understand how we became so worthy. I had an amazing father growing up, but you, love, you have exceeded my greatest dreams for not only me, but our first child.

I thought I’d pull a few pictures from this last year and a half of your first go with Fatherhood. With thousands to sort through I, seriously, only selected a smattering. To me, these moments depict your love better than any words I could ever string together and better than any of them could ever really describe.

With all my heart I adore you. Cherish you and love you.

Happy Father’s Day, my love!

Winner. Winner. Wooden Ring Getter.

I am so happy to have had those of your participate in my latest giveaway! Melts my heart, thank you!

I decide to use Eli’s little hat this time because, well, it’s so much sweeter than mine. 😉 After going through all your sweet comments and blushing at the “likes,” I wrote down all of your names and tallied those of you who did the extras so your name would be written down again…

It give me great JOY to announce the winner of my giveaway…

Congratulations: Julie C. Arnoldy!!
