Kelsey and Anthony are living out their dream living in the Outerbanks of North Carolina, so it was only fitting to photograph their Manteo maternity portraits in the quaint beach town. They told me shortly after their wedding day, a few years ago, that one of their dreams was to live there. Now, they are there and they get to start their family and raise their first child on the beach and sandy beach roads of the Outerbanks.

Maybe it is because I am getting a little older myself… I am still under 30… BUT seeing my past couples and friends start this new journey makes me light up! I am in awe of them and their joyous leaps in their lives together. When they got married they began building their lives together and now that they have a foundation that they built on they are bringing someone else into the world to shape and mold into a wonderful human being… No pressure guys!!!

Their maternity session in Manteo, North Carolina was a beautiful and personal place too them to document this new journey. Congratulations Kelsey and Anthony! I can’t wait to see that baby boy… I hope he’s got blue eyes and curls like his Momma. And I hope that when he grows up he has his Dad’s sense of humor and learns the love for his Mother just by watching Anthony.
