When planning M+A’s maternity photos, we opted for a session that would tell the story of what this amazing couple’s life was truly like as they were about to welcome their first child into the world.

In the years I have known M+A, I have always considered them some of the warmest, most hospitable people that I know. They hosted our community group for a long time in their home when they were newlyweds; they host many barbecues and intimate meetings with friends. I have the warmest memories from time spent with them in their home, eating amazing food, and speaking life and love into each other. Their home is a place of gathering and sharing the love of Jesus with all who enter.

To document their pregnancy, I photographed them in their home doing something they would naturally be doing – putting some finishing touches on their nursery; preparing a meal together for friends; and enjoying their amazingly fruitful urban garden that they have so diligently created over the last few years.

These are the little things worth remembering.

While you’re here – you can meet their beautiful baby boy in their in-home newborn photography session on my blog!
