Mary + Bryan = Austin!!!

They were high school sweethearts. They were young and in love, and had no idea that over 10 years later, they would be nestled in their cozy little condo in Fairfax, and happily awaiting the arrival of their very first baby boy, Austin. Who knew that high school dances and the inevitable dramatic high school arguments about “you said you would call me at 6 and it’s 6:15” would soon become shopping at Babies R Us and debating much more important things such as baby names, paint colors, and whether or not Bryan will pass out during the delivery!

The excitement that Mary and Bryan have for their first pregnancy is contagious. The smiles, laughter, excitement and even nervousness of being first time parents is so real and genuine that you just want to give them a big hug and move in with them! Except that would be weird.

So off we went on a beautiful Saturday morning. We started out at Mary’s mom’s house, then off to a completely deserted field I found, back to the house for some fun family shots and ended with Mary and I taking some more artistic pregnancy shots that she looks absolutely beautiful in! 

Dear Austin,

We are all so excited for your arrival into this crazy world…always remember…

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you will ever think”
