Patrick & Rachael :: Maternity

Talk about a wake up call...

Shortly after Todd and I found out that we were going to have a baby, I had what usually would be just another portrait session, but this particular one was a bit personal, for obvious reasons since it was a maternity shoot. I was so intrigued and probably asking some pretty odd questions because at this point I was in SHOCK and overwhelmed at just about everything "BABY" related. I have to apologize to Rachael, if I asked some really random and out-of-the-ordinary questions... now you know! Ha!

But what made it even more "personal" was Rachael's sister came over for a few photos, as she is expecting her second child as Rachael is with her first. Why is that "personal" you ask? Well it just so happens that MY SISTER is pregnant with her SECOND child and is due just TWO days before me... talk about a coincidence! Seriously, what are the odds? But it was really cool to chat with both of them as they are so excited for each other and both had some super fun ideas when it came to photos!

But Patrick and Rachael are expecting come the beginning of March and boy how time is flying. It was extremely fun to document this point of their lives as they are so excited for this HUGE life change. They are both extremely sweet people and you can tell are going to be awesome parents! I can't wait to meet the little guy in just a few weeks...

Congratulations to your whole family!!! What an addition both babies are going to be!

Check out a few of my favorites from our sessions... there were so many I had to narrow it down a TON!

Such a lovely couple, I'm sure this kid is going to be gorgeous!!!
