I'm Michelle
Because you shouldn’t have to choose just one moment to remember, this is your way to hold on to the whole story.
Because some moments are meant to be seen as they unfold, movement, emotion, and the beauty of this season, just as it was.
What more could I ask for…gorgeous light, gorgeous family, gorgeous mama-to-be and a gorgeous big sister-to-be. Joanna is just glowing, and is absolutely radiant as she awaits the arrival of her second little love. Her love and excitement for this little one shines through in each image. Soon another baby will be welcomed into their hearts and their homes. This time a baby boy.
Big sister-to-be, Eleanor, is an adventurous little girl. At not quite two years of age, she is filled with pure joy and wonder. She has a beautiful smile like her mama, and beautiful big brown eyes. Like most toddlers, Eleanor was most interested in exploring a new place. We had a wonderful time watching Eleanor discover new things, plus some snuggles and love from her parents!
Joanna made the gorgeous floral crowns for herself and Eleanor. They were absolutely beautiful and the perfect touch to the maternity session. I loved the vibrant colors of the flowers. One of my favorite images from the session is of Joanna and Eleanor walking hand in hand. Enjoying these moments with her mama before she is no longer the baby in the family. Being less than two years apart, I know Eleanor and her baby brother will be the best of friends. I see so much fun and giggles in their future because no matter the age, fun and giggles between siblings is always the best!
