About 6 months ago, I got a phone call from my oldest friend Lisa. There was an unusual excitement and joy in her voice…it was different enough for me to sense that some amazing big news was on its way. Sure enough, she had called to let me know that she and Steven were expecting their first child!
Lisa and I were best friends before we knew was best friends were. Our moms and dads met at church and became fast friends and at my 5th birthday, they all came and we’ve essentially celebrated every birthday and milestone together ever since. While I was in college in TX, then moved to DC, we stayed close and blew up the airwaves with phone calls. Then we found instant messenger and discovered a new way to chat. When I moved back to CA, Lisa was back in grad school in LA and let me know she met someone special. Not long after that, I wore a long pink dress and stood up with them under a tree on a beautiful afternoon in Malibu. They’ve taken their time in starting a family and neither side of the family can wait to meet the sweet little guy!
Tomorrow is Lisa’s first baby shower and I knew that I wanted to gift them with some images, so we met up last week in the Orange Circle for a maternity session. I have the images in hand and think they are amazing. I know they will be thrilled to have documentation of this sweet time in their lives and encourage any expectant couple to memorialize this wonder as well! If you’re interested in a maternity session, please do not hesitate to contact me!
