There are few things in this world that fill my heart the way witnessing love unfold does. Ethan and Paige have long held a special place in mine. A couple of years ago, I had the absolute honor of photographing their wedding — a day that still lives vividly in my memory. Ethan beaming with pride, Paige glowing with joy, and the two of them surrounded by the kind of love that makes you believe in forever.

Now, I’ve had the joy of capturing another incredible moment in their journey — their maternity session.

It’s moments like this that remind me why I do what I do. Watching couples I’ve known from the beginning step into this new role — from husband and wife to soon-to-be parents — is indescribably special. I always say it, and I will continue to say it with my whole heart: it is an incredible gift to be trusted with these chapters of your story.

Ethan and Paige are about to become a family of three, and the love between them has only deepened. Ethan still looks at Paige like she’s the most beautiful woman in the world — and during our session, he reminded her of that every chance he could. Paige chose two looks for her photos — a casual outfit that felt like home, and a flowing dress that caught the golden light just right. Both were perfect. Both were her.

The evening was magical. Spring gave us one of those rare, warm nights where the light is soft, the breeze is gentle, and time seems to slow down. The sunshine wrapped around them like a promise — a quiet, golden reminder of all that’s to come.

Watching their joy, their anticipation, and the sweet glances they shared between clicks of my camera made this session one I won’t soon forget.

Ethan and Paige, thank you. For letting me witness your wedding vows, for trusting me again with your growing family, and for letting me freeze these moments in time for you. I cannot wait to see the parents you’ll become.
