Crystal and Michael jumped out of the car, proudly displaying the color blue, and glowing.  The beautiful mommy-to-be wore a radiant smile from ear to ear, and a token of his daddy’s love hung delicately from her neck.  “Jack” is all the tag read, and I could feel how anxious these two were to give their son a place to call home… in their arms.  From just spending the day with Crystal and Michael I know that they will be amazing parents.  It is a beautiful sight when two people who love each other so much, create such a blessing from their love.  Jack is already kicking and fighting his way out, he can’t wait to be with them!  This little fella is one of the luckiest little boys to have such amazing spirits to guide him in this life.  We can not wait to capture Jack when he arrives, but I find the LOVE that jumps of the page between this new family so AH-Mazing that it will keep me satisfied until then!  Here are some of my favorites from the day, I love this location and this couple!!!

Last weekend we had the unique pleasure of celebrating new life and new love with the Laskens, an amazing family waiting for their new bundle of joy to arrive.  They picked the perfect day, and one of our favorite locations, for their maternity and family shoot.  It was extra special to us as they said they hadn’t had any professional photos done since their daughter was born a decade ago.  These three were so fun to be around, and so photogenic.  It really made our job easy to do!  We can’t wait for baby number three to arrive!

I am only certain of a few things.  Here it goes…. LOVE is Everything.  Next, the people who are in your life our there for a reason.  And last, there are not two people more deserving in this world to be parents then Lindsay and Chris.   This maternity shoot holds such special meaning for me that it is hard to hold back the tears of joy I feel as I write.  I have known Lindsay since high school, and we instantly knew we were meant to be best friends.  I have watched her grow from a free spirited, bubbly teenager, to a woman of grace, beauty and great faith.  Such a woman was only meant for a man as kind and loving as Chris.

About 5 months back we were all delighted at the news that Chris and Lindsay were expecting twins!  Then, one night, I received a message from Lindsay telling me to call her, because she had “unbelievable” news.  As her husband answered the phone he asked if I had heard the news, and I joked lovingly… “You guys found out it’s triplets… hahaha”.  Well to my surprise silence waited for me on the other end, and Chris confirmed that they were getting a wonderful blessing of 3 babies!  This pregnancy has been so tough on Lindsay, and she has pulled through each challenge glowing and positive.  There is no mama to be more in love with her little “limes” then Lindsay, and her and Chris are a true testament of Love and Faith!

I am so happy for my best friend, she has never looked more radiant or beautiful.  I can’t wait for Team Waite to complete their already pretty awesome team!!!  Lindsay is all about living in the moment of her pregnancy, enjoying each moment, good or bad… I think these are some of my most favorite images EVER!  Here’s a sneak peek…
