I believe that every child is a miracle, and over the years, I have realized how truly amazing carrying an unborn child is. I love capturing soon-to-be mothers, as there is something so special about that time before baby enters this world. Arica is a gorgeous mom, and  she was seriously glowing the entire shoot (even though she said that this one has decided to use her as a punching bag — it didn’t show). 😉 She wanted a more natural approach to the shots, so upon discovering a beautiful field nearby their house, it was a perfect location to end the shoot at. We incorporated her love of gardening with some gardening gloves, and, the soon-to-be big brother, Dane, used his handy little stethoscope to listen for baby. I am so excited for them to welcome this new little one into their family in just a few weeks!
