This was the fifth time I’ve photographed Elizabeth and Stephen and their beautiful family, and every time, I promise, I have more fun. Last week was no exception. I got the biggest kick out of both Dei and Sonnette, who are going to welcome their new baby sister next month. And Elizabeth! Seriously, have you ever seen anyone look as gorgeous as she does, and just weeks before her baby is due?!
We headed out into a field on their relatives’ property on a warm, sun-soaked afternoon.
I love this shot so much!
This picture! Could these two look any more perfect together?
The adorable wagon and trike and quilt weren’t just cute props — they were family antiques. Elizabeth remembered buying the wagon when she was young, the tricycle belonged to her father when he was little, and the handmade quilt goes back a couple generations or more. I loved that they brought a few pieces of family history along with them as we documented their family’s impending growth in the very near future.
Dei loved posing in the field, and she has the very best of giggle-smiles. Any time I needed her to smile, I asked her for a giggle, and she produced right on cue!
Elizabeth, you looked just beautiful, as always.
I cannot wait to meet baby Clarity next year!
Elizabeth and Stephen, as always, thank you for sharing your family with me for a wonderful afternoon!
