I love silhouettes, and definitely wanted to get one of our baby bump, but I was having a hard time finding the perfect spot, until we found this tunnel! This is one of my new favorite locations in Bluffton and I think Stef rocked this silhouette!

I have loved being pregnant with you my sweet baby, and although I can’t wait to meet you in just a few short weeks, there are times I wish I could stay pregnant with you forever……
I have always loved strawberries, but since getting pregnant, I am OBSESSED with them! They are my one pregnancy craving that is so intense I can’t stand to be without them! On many occasions Stef has had to run out and get some for me, so now I make sure to keep our fridge fully stocked! I think this baby is going to come out a big strawberry! I know she will be just as sweet as one!
This weekend was one of the most special, fun, and exhausting weekends ever! My mom and sisters flew in from New York for my baby shower. We had such a wonderful time getting ready for the shower, staying up late at night chatting, and painting the nursery. It was also the first time I had ever met my little nephew Evan, and boy, am I in love! He is so adorable and was such a trooper keeping up with four women.
The baby shower was amazing! My mom and sisters put so much love and attention into all the little details. My mom made the pink table runners for all the tables, my sister Nikki made the adorable banners, and my sister Allison made the delicious red velvet cupcakes! It meant so much to me to have all my close friends and family there and to celebrate this much loved baby! Here are some pictures of my beautiful sister Nikki and 6 month old Evan, the four girls together and the beautiful details from the shower!

You always hear the inspirational sayings, “good things come to those who wait”, “dreams do come true”, and that “miracles can happen” during a time when a loved one is trying to comfort you. Whenever I heard those sayings, deep down I wanted to believe them, but a small part of me doubted; especially when it came to starting a family. Things were not going according to plan and after years of trying to have a baby, I was still not pregnant. We struggled for 5 years with infertility, and let me tell you, those were the longest 5 years of my life. Even now when I look back, I really don’t know how I kept it together! God, my family, friends and photography were the bright spots that kept me focused and positive, as well as, the little voice deep down urging me to believe, “good things come to those who wait”, “dreams do come true”, and that “miracles can happen”.
Well, our dream finally has come true, and I am so happy to announce that we are going to have a baby! So, that little voice that kept whispering to my heart, telling me to not give up hope and to believe, was right! Stef and I feel extremely blessed and are so joyful about welcoming this long awaited miracle into our lives soon! We are documenting every part of this pregnancy and cherishing every kick, every ultrasound, and every sleepless night, because it truly is a miracle that we thought we would never get to experience! Here are a few of our favorite images so far. I will share more as we take them!
We are also very excited to have so many wonderful weddings booked this fall, and will be very ready to get back to photography once I return from maternity leave in July!
