One of my greatest delights is photographing the evolution of two people in love over the years. It means the world when a couple chooses me to photograph their wedding and continue to trust me to document their lives as their family grows.

Now that our little baby girl is here (and has been for over a  month!!) and my pregnancy is officially over, I finally feel ready and able to write about the entirety of my third trimester. In a lot of ways, it feels like forever ago that I was pregnant… but in a lot of other ways, it still catches me off guard sometimes to find myself NOT pregnant.
