Some sessions are special because of the photographs. Others are special because of the person standing in front of my camera. And occasionally, you get both.
I first met this magnificent woman during a content filming day for a local business. She was one of the models, and we spent enough time together for me to realise something very important…
She was absolutely my kind of people.
Fast forward a little and she booked herself in for one of my greenhouse mini sessions. What was supposed to be a 40-minute session turned into something considerably longer because, well, we had A LOT to chat about!
And somewhere amongst all the chatting, she told me she’d just found out she was pregnant.
HOW WONDERFUL! 💕
Then, the day after our session, life took a heartbreaking turn.
A few weeks later, when I realised I hadn’t seen her popping up on social media, I reached out to check that everything was OK. It wasn’t. Something truly awful had happened, and I knew just how much she must have been going through.
We kept in touch from time to time, although life inevitably carried on at both ends and months passed.
And then, one day, I saw a post.
THE MOST MAGNIFICENT POST.
She was expecting!
I knew she wouldn’t have shared such wonderful news unless she felt ready, and I was absolutely over the moon for her. I sent my congratulations, and last week I had the absolute privilege of welcoming her back in front of my camera for a maternity session.
Nearly a year on from the day that changed so much for her, here we were.
And honestly? How utterly wonderful that I get to be part of this chapter.
She was made for this. She absolutely glowed, and I don’t think I could have been any more delighted for her if I tried.
These photographs are about so much more than a growing bump. They’re about hope, new beginnings, and the beautiful things that can still be waiting for us around the corner.
I am so, SO happy for you.
And I cannot WAIT to meet baby girl! 💕
