Our Maternity Session – Spencer Lake, Waupaca

I’m a little late in posting these as our little girl is already 4 weeks! The delay wasn’t because I was waiting on our photos, (our photographer got them to us the same weekend!), but rather because I took a while to write this post. Trying to capture the emotions of pregnancy and now the anticipation of being a mom in a few short words was trickier than I thought.

Sam wisely pointed out that is hasn’t really been just the two of us for quite a while. Being a family of three is about to become a whole lot more tangible, but we’ve been adjusting our life and our plans since we found out about this little girl in late August. There’s been a kind of gentle, (and sometimes not-so-gentle) transition as my waistline has expanded, I’ve spent a lot of days doing very little and feeling extremely sick, I’ve needed more sleep and lots of snacks, and now bending is becoming more and more difficult.

I wanted to capture some this special season with some photos so I reached out to Ashlea of Ashlea Snell Photography as I was familiar with her work as a wedding photographer in our area and had seen her mention doing maternity photos. I fell in love with her bright, fine art style, and was excited she was able to take our maternity photos! on a beautiful lake even though it didn’t quite look like spring here in Wisconsin. She made it really fun to be on the other side of the camera and made us both feel so comfortable. I love all the photos she took and had a really hard time narrowing it down!

Sweet baby girl, we are so excited to finally see your face and hold you in our arms. I am overwhelmed with gratitude when I think about the Lord choosing us to be your parents, and entrusting us to raise you. I hope to be at least half of the amazing mom your Grandma Connie was to me, and that you have as many good memories of your childhood as I did of mine. We are overwhelmed with love for you already and can’t wait to get to know you.

Love, Mom & Dad
