Last month I spent an afternoon at Discovery Park with Stephanie and Joe shooting their maternity session. They are expecting their first child in just a few weeks and were brimming with excitement as we chatted about baby Audrey’s arrival. There is something so special about spending time with parents who are expecting their first baby. I’m not sure if it is the excitement, the nerves, the anticipation of the unknown or, most likely, a combination of all three. Regardless, it was incredibly sweet to see the interactions between Stephanie and Joe as we wandered through the grass and the sand. They have been together since high school (yeah for high school sweethearts!) and they have such a natural, relaxed relationship. And they are clearly overflowing with happiness about becoming parents and are anxious for their little baby girl to make an appearance! Until she does, I wish them both a few more full nights of sleep and several more quiet dinners together!

Stephanie and Joe, you will be such wonderful parents! Audrey is a lucky little girl. Thank you for allowing me to capture such a big moment in your lives!
