At the end of their maternity portrait session at the Francis Land House I had to tell Ali and Rob, “Man! You two are so in love!” Not that they really needed me to tell them that because it just completely radiated out of them! These moments of them becoming parents for the first time, together, was a joy to photograph.

I have heard people talking about “the glow” that expectant mothers have and I think I truly saw this for the first time while photographing Ali! As Rob placed his hand onto Ali’s, that was delicately holding their baby, and whispered, “my girls,” I almost melted into a puddle right then and there.

This is their first baby together and as I get older I am beginning to have more of an understanding how much this little miracle of their’s is. I am so happy to celebrate all kinds of love and different stages of your lives together. Long past your wedding day your life grows and shapes and love is exemplified. These two are proof of that! Congratulations Ali and Rob, that little girl doesn’t know how lucky she is going to be with you two as parents!
