Man, oh man. When people meet the Maes family, they are better off for it! These Lightner Creek maternity photos are dear to my heart for so many reasons!
Maternity pictures are unique in general, because you get to capture some lasts and firsts. These photos are special because they are some of their last memories as a family of 3. But perhaps they are even more special that they are simultaneously some of their first photos as a family of 4!
I don’t usually do morning sessions, but any toddler parent knows that working around their schedule is key! I ended up loving the way the light turned out for these Lightner Creek maternity photos though! Maybe I should start doing more morning sessions!
I felt so honored that when Bridger saw me on the day of our photoshoot, he excitedly ran over to see me! Unfortunately, he took a tumble and got a few scrapes. Nothing his good dog friend, Peanut, couldn’t fix!
The Maes’ have been so kind over the last few years to let me take photos of some of the most precious moments in their lives! I took their first pregnancy announcement pictures as well as multiple family photo sessions.
Rose and I also had plans to take maternity pictures during her first pregnancy. However, we didn’t quite get to make that happen. She ended up having some complications that sent her to the hospital early to give birth to Bridger.
It’s been amazing to see all the ways God has worked in their story. Bridger is truly a miracle and we’re all so thankful for him! I also feel like I have gotten a front row seat to witness just a piece of God’s redeeming work in the Maes’ lives. We really do serve a great God.
It brought me so much joy to finally be able to do this for them, even if it was the second time around!
I just adore the Maes family and all of the joy they bring to this world! Thank you guys for letting me be a small part of so many big moments in your lives!
