A firehouse and a mama…

April 28, 2009

 

She’s studying to be a teacher.  He’s a firefighter.  They volunteer at their church as Sunday school teachers.  Active in bible study and groups, this couple is sweeter than sweet!  A model husband and wife team, their relationship is one that will seriously have you saying, “Aaaawwwwww!”   I always think “white picket fence” when I think of these two. ;)

When I heard that Melissa was expecting, I immediately started planning her maternity session.  When I told her what I had in mind, she was excited.  She talked to her husband, who talked to the captain… and when the answer came back yes, we headed out to the firehouse and captured some meaningful images.

Cory and Melissa, you two are the absolute sweetest people in the world and I know you are going to be AWESOME parents.  Thank you for allowing me to capture this time for you.  Melissa – seriously, you rock.  I can’t believe all the hiking, climbing and trekking you did with me to get these.  You’re a serious trooper!  Lol!  I know it was hot but you kept right up with the vision!  :)  THANK YOU!

Here’s a little sneak peek… enjoy!  :)

We hear it all the time…

Pregnancy has a way of making a woman glow.

Where does this remarkable glow come from?

Vitamins? Increased intake of H2O? The extra calories that are consumed?

I personally believe that the incredible glow of pregnancy stems from the miracle of life. The mere fact that a woman’s body was created so intricately to house a baby and nourish it as it grows and forms within the womb… wow! It’s a blessing and an indescribable joy!

I recently met up with this gorgeous mommy to be… Anxiously and excitedly awaiting her first born, she exudes beauty and peacefulness…

Crystal, I truly enjoyed spending the afternoon with you. You are a gorgeous mommy and your baby is so lucky to have you and your husband as parents. I can’t wait to meet him! :)

Enjoy!

The joy of anticipation…

You know the feeling…

You feel it when you see that gift coming your way.

You patiently wait with a small giddy grin, all the while screaming inside, “What IS it? What could it BE?”

You smile politely and graciously accept the gift as you try to contain your excitement. Then you slowly begin to unwrap it…

Oh, who am I kidding? You squeal and clap and rip through that paper, don’t you?

lol!

I was able to capture that excitement this weekend. This precious girl has been an only child for 6 years. Imagine her excitement as she anticipates the birth of her baby brother… I think the face says it all… :)

 

This mama is absolutely GORGEOUS! Her tummy was as perfect as perfect could be. When you hear of pregnancy making you glow, wow… her skin is positively radiant! No wrinkles, no stretch marks… just smooth, perfect skin… if only we could all be this lucky… *sigh*

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today! I hope your day is BLESSED!
