Getting back to the beach for the second weekend running was definitely the highlight of my weekend.

I know that I mention all the time how I love capturing newborns. Well the longer I do this the more I realise I love telling a family’s whole story – the maternity session as they are waiting for their first baby. The newborn session. That baby sitting up and smiling. And eventually the waiting for the next baby a few years later!

The whole journey of building a family is so precious, and kids love to look back and see their own story in pictures – again and again and again. I think I have mentioned before, that all I have are some pretty dreadful snaps in the case of my own first pregnancy eight years ago – so I know first hand how painful it is to look at bad snap shots of yourself heavily pregnant on a regular basis. Where as I have beautiful portraits of my second and third pregnancies.

Which is why it always makes me so happy to think how lovely it will be to sit and look through an album with a child and show them such beautiful memories of their parents “before”. And these two parents-to-be could not be more in love if they tried. They were so sweet and gentle and kind to each other every moment of our meander around their neighbourhood. I can’t wait to meet the little one that is growing “in there” as my girls like to say.
