A long blog peek for Sarah & Chad as they’ve been waiting so patient. I had such a great time shooting their belly session. They are so natural in front of the camera, and with each other. And were OH so excited about their growing baby on the way …

This shot was us discussing if baby was a boy or girl. They said girl. They were wrong. Hee hee : )

Such a beautiful Momma.

See. So natural.

Now, meet baby boy Frederich (Freddie), born June 30.

Oh so sleepy.

And a little smiley.

Sometimes pouty.

With cute little feet, wrapped in a blanket knit by his Mommy. (love that)

Big yawns.

And proud parents!

Congratulations Sarah, Chad & families! Thank you so much for letting me capture this special time in your lives. I’m honored.
