The first time we took Austin and Sam's photo was their engagement photos at these locations in Hastings, Minnesota. Coming full circle now to do their maternity portraits in the same charming town was a fun then-and-now moment for us all! (Although last time, it was in the middle of summer and hot. This time, it was in winter and rather chilly.) We love to walk alongside a couple and document the next chapter in their love story.

And just like that it is spring! And we are back! It has been a very wintry winter, but just like the adorable light purple flowers popping through the dirt that the kids had fun looking at during their family maternity photos at Leduc Estates, there is new life on the horizon. And it is not just for creation, but also for this special family in soon becoming a family of seven.
Those newborn baby cuddles. How does it go so fast? One moment you are feeling like you’re stuck in one never-ending day as your nights and days get mixed up and turned around and the next moment, you are looking at your child entering her third grade year. Third grade, already? This is the moments where parents who have gone before younger parents say, “Don’t blink.” Even just this Sunday after church, I talked with a dad who said he is having a hard time adjusting to life without his oldest. He walks past her room… and it is empty. The other siblings have changed things around and it’s just not normal. Or at least the new normal doesn’t feel normal. I digress. All this to say, once again reminded to be present in the moment.
How cute is little Eugene? Nothing like a big brother getting ready to welcome a little sister into the world! This little kiddo was all the smiles and a bundle of energy when we met up last Sunday for his family’s portraits and mommy’s maternity photos in New Brighton.
Maia and Paul are a sweet Cottage Grove couple who are adding a little baby boy any day now. I love these last few moments before baby comes into the world. While it feels like a lifetime of waiting in the moment, looking back on it, it truly does go by fast! This is why it is so important to document this stage of life, so when they reached out and said they decided to do maternity photos, I was totally game to get them on the calendar.
