Sarah+Jonathan+Baby Bump!
“A baby is something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years and in your heart till the day you die.” ~ Mary Mason
Meet Sarah, Jonathan and Baby! [well, the baby bump anyway featuring Miss Hannah Katelyn <-what an adorable name!]
This is not the first time you’ve seen them on the blog. I was privileged to photographed Sarah and Jonathan for their engagement session [click HERE], and then their wedding [click HERE]. While the fact that they keep coming back to me is super flattering, it’s even MORE so, because even though they grew up here, they live in Texas! That’s right, they came all the way up to South Bend to have their portraits taken ;). Just kidding of course. But I am SO serious about how flattered I am they have searched me out on their trip back to northern Indiana to have their beautiful baby bump photos taken.
And can I just say, not only are they an adorable couple, but Sarah is SOOOO gorgeous pregnant! And that beautiful dress she’s wearing, it was a honey moon dress she still fits into, baby bump and all.
While you never really know what the sky will look like here [we often have cloud coverage from the perma-cloud thanks to the lake], we scored some AMAZING light for their evening session. Seriously gorgeous.
Thank you so much for trusting me to take beautiful images of this special time in your lives! I SOOO look forward to meeting that sweet baby girl! And, like we talked about, I’m up for flying down to Texas when you’re ready for your first family session :).
I adore all three of you!
