Growing together in marriage is inevitable, but growing together as a family is even more beautiful than words can capture. Watching Shelby and Mike in this special season of life has been nothing short of surreal. From their engagement session to their wedding day, and now this incredible moment, I’ve had the honor of witnessing each milestone.

Shelby and Mike,

As you dream about the life your little one will lead—wondering whose eyes they’ll have, what their laugh will sound like, or what adventures they’ll chase—I hope you take time to savor this chapter. Cherish every kick, every flutter, every quiet moment of anticipation. Even the tiredness and morning sickness are part of the magic of this season, fleeting and precious. Before you know it, all the best parts of both of you will be here, growing and discovering the world you’ve created with so much love.

Thank you for letting me be part of this journey. I hope these images forever remind you of the love and joy already surrounding your sweet baby.
