The end of Now and the beginning of Forever

-
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing an amazing couple. They have spent the last 8 years together and have been engaged for 2 and will be tying the knot officially in May. It was so much fun to capture their love story. It didn't take much to make them laugh and smile. Even after 8 years you could still see how much they loved each other. Capturing the very essence of their emotion and their connection was my goal and it was so easy with how expressive they were.
One of my favorite movies growing up was Beauty and the Beast. The main lesson of Beauty and the Beast was "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." (Eden Ahbez) You guys have learned to love and are continuing to love. During the good the bad, the ugly, the amazing, remember that love that you have nurtured together. Never forget to just love each other no matter what.
It's hard to find true love but you got it! Congrats on your engagement and the beginning of forever!

Another woman I met in a separate  group agreed to share her story in my blog series as well. She shares it much better than I could have. She suffered from multiple miscarriages as well as multiple IVF failed treatments. She also went through so much more than that during her storm. Here is her story of her losses and her rainbow after the storm. Her name is Tami and this is her story: No Heartbeat I had no reason to think I might never have another child.  My story started fifteen years ago when I was pregnant with my now 14-year-old daughter. I wasn't nervous during my first pregnancy. If anything, I was oblivious to the fact that anything could possibly go wrong. But, it all went smoothly- my daughter arrived perfectly on her due date with an uncomplicated, natural birth. My pregnancy was textbook. My relationship with my daughter's father, however, was anything but textbook. After my daughter’s birth, we decided to take a break. It ended up lasting years....

What NOT TO SAY to someone experiencing a pregnancy/infant loss

-
Like my previous article talking about advice for mothers/families experiencing a loss, I also compiled a list of things that women who have experienced a loss want others to learn not to say during or after their loss. These are things that don’t help us feel any better and even sometimes make us feel worse. One thing I have noticed while going through my own stillbirth as well as talking to other moms, who have experienced a loss, is people seem to think that losses farther along in pregnancy are harder than those early on. Or that if you have a loss after you already have kids that it’s okay and you should just focus on the other children.   I surveyed some women who have experienced losses and these are the things they wish people WOULD NOT say when they experienced their loss. ·         At least you weren’t that far along” , will your next baby replace the one you lost, when are you going to try again? ·      ...

The Importance of recognizing the Amazing Pregnancy Journey

-
Even though pregnancy comes with a lot of difficult trials, it is an amazing time in your life. It is a time of celebration and of anticipation as you prepare to meet your little bundle of joy. It’s a time where you become strong – stronger than you ever thought you could possibly be. During this time, you create your initial bond with your child that will continue throughout your entire lives. There are very few women who actually feel like they are beautiful while they are pregnant – especially during the first pregnancy. However, the miracle of pregnancy is a beautiful thing. Swollen feet, stretch marks, and hormone changes aside – you are growing a real live human being inside of you. All of those side effects come from different things your body has to do to help nourish and protect your baby. You are beautiful, and you should take the time to celebrate these changes and this amazing moment in your life. These photos will be a great gift to pass down to your child as an ...
