Stacie & Ryan // Maternity

The moment Stacie told me she wanted maternity photos done I just about leapt for joy. Stacie and I have known each other for more than a few years having trudged through nursing school together, living just a hallway away, and graduating with a degree that was a challenge to get! It's been a lot of fun to see her flourish within her career, marry the man of her dreams, and become pregnant with their first little one; a girl! Miss Sawyer is due to bless us in less than a month. Did I mention that her mommy is GORGEOUS?!

Believe it or not, this was shot just behind my mailboxes! I had a few ideas floating around for just where we were going to shoot this session, and though I knew we would be making a few stops I had to add this to the list. The light fell just right behind her, and more than once I heard Ryan mention how beautiful his wife was. I can't help but to agree!

Wentworth Greenhouses (ahem, landscaping paradise http://www.wentworthgreenhouses.com ) was kind enough to let us sneak in just before they closed to take some of these images. It was a little magical to see Stacie wandering through isles of hanging vines and flowers with her beautiful 8 1/2 month bump! She looked like a garden goddess in this grey chiffon custom handmade gown. 

Special thank you to Sew Trendy Accessories (http://www.sewtrendyaccessories.com) for not only the most gorgeous infinity gown, but also for sending this to me so quickly! While planning this session I knew I just HAD to have Stacie in this gown and I was so excited when it arrived just in time. Just look at her!
