Three years ago I was photographing their beautiful wedding day, and now I can’t wait to meet their daughter in just a few short months! There’s nothing I love more than having the privilege to get to know couple and see their family grow over the years. So excited to document the next year for their family! 
Oatlands House and Gardens was looking lovelier than ever! This is by far one of my favorite places to come for sessions, it’s worth it EVERY single time! 
Congrats again to you both! You’re going to be the most incredible parents, and I can’t wait to see that baby girl in your arms! 
I seriously thank my lucky stars that this family has allowed me to photograph all of their most special family transitions over the last 10 years. Scooter, Ashley, and their family always remind me of my “why” in the sweetest ways and the countless things I love about this job of mine. They came out to Forest Mills Farm for their maternity family portraits last week and I’m so excited to share them with you today. Can’t wait to meet the newest addition to their beautiful family so soon!
I’d take a cloudy day with a fabulous couple at Birkby House every single weekend if I could! These two had such a gorgeous day and the most fun reception ever! In fact, I vote we all meet back at Birkby House next weekend and do it all over again! deal? deal! ;)
Isn’t Kathryn the most beautiful bride?!
everyone got a bit teary during their first look…
love these next two! 
love how you can see that one tear running down his cheek as she walked down the aisle toward him:
I get to take newborn portraits for these two in just a couple weeks, so it seemed fitting to snap a few maternity photos while we had the opportunity! 
Truly, it doesn’t get much dreamier than that gorgeous white tent covered in lights! 
Millennium made their reception feel like the best party ever! THE most talented group of musicians!
Marlin even got up and sang for everyone! Such a fun surprise!
I adore you both! Can’t wait to have you both in front of my camera again for many years to come! Congratulations!!
