in hopeful expectation

I was blessed this weekend by a dear friend who has a gift. Kelly Sauer is a destination wedding and portrait photographer. She is also a visionary. When she asked me what feel I wanted for my maternity photo shoot, I struggled for words. Finally, the best description I could muster came to me:

“I want to feel connected to this baby.”

O, friends. I could have never imagined how beautifully that abstract descriptor could be captured in photographs. Like I told you, she has a gift.

    Allison! Those are so incredibly beautiful. They capture the peace and texture of your waiting with hope. I know that this little girl is coming to a mother whose love has grown and expanded with loving two boys and is going to fit just right. I hope that you can come back to these images and remember how beautiful God’s provision for you was in this season and how it will continue be for the coming ones. Love, Amy
