It was about 9 years ago that I met Meg. We worked together at a retail clothing store in our high school to early college years! We reconnected last year while planning our weddings, her wedding being just a week before mine! Quickly after she announced her and her husband were expecting I got a message to start planning her maternity and newborn sessions. We picked the lake out in Webster, which is more or less her backyard. The setting was gorgeous and mother nature finally decided to play nice and gave us a nice dry day!

This is the second time I have photographed Meg, the first time was for a special black book of photos for Anthony on their wedding day. The camera loves Meg – she is seriously stunning, not to mention she is glowing!

Ace is on his way, just 3 short days away and this family of four will be complete! I am so excited to meet him in a few weeks. If he is anything like big sister Morgan, he is going to be absolutely adorable and my new best friend!

Morgan was so incredibly excited to “star” in this photo! As soon as I asked if she wanted to hold her baby brothers photo, her eyes lit right up and she was ready to go! She even posed her little legs on her own – pure cuteness overload!

As we were walking the park, Morgan found a set of stairs that I promised her we would climb together. We counted them the entire way up too, for being only five years old – Morgan is one smart cookie! At the top of the stairs I spotted these flowers (I know, some of you are screaming “Weeds, Kelly, they are weeds.” but trust me, Morgan and I agreed they are flowers! 😉 ) I asked her if she wanted to take another special photo for her brother in which she quickly replied yes! She’s proudly displaying baby brothers name “Ace”.

At the very end of our session the sunlight was hitting this spot perfectly and Meg willingly agreed to take some artistic bare-belly shots and I am so so glad we did. She is one gorgeous Momma! The sun may have been glowing bright but her smile and excitement for their new baby boy shines right through it all. I can not wait to meet Ace! Stay tuned for his newborn portraits!
