There is something so magical about the last few weeks of pregnancy. There’s this sense of peace & calm…the nursery is ready, the tiniest little clothes have been washed and folded, and all there is to do is wait. It’s a quiet sense of joy. A time of shared smiles between the soon-to-be mother & father and just enjoying the time they have as a couple. There’s the wonder & hope for this new life they will soon be welcoming to the world. And it is one of the most beautiful times to witness.

On a lovely Saturday morning in March, I was so honored to document this special time for Tricia & Bryan. They spent the morning as they normally would, cooking a delicious meal and discussing the plan for their day. I then got to take a peek at the nursery…Brian painted the stunning wall mural & there’s even a sweet cross-stitched pillow that Tricia made when she was a child. And Mother Nature was kind enough to provide us with a beautiful backdrop of Bradford Pear blossoms.

On May 3^rd, Tricia & Bryan welcomed Evelyn Mae into the world. And she is absolute perfection.
