Third Trimester Update

28th September 2023

Hi everyone, we were lucky enough to be able to capture my third-trimester baby bump and have the most beautiful family portraits taken by Marni Olivier who was 8 weeks postpartum at the time!  I wanted a beautiful location so we headed to the citrus orchard at Almost Orange.  It is such a stunning spot and always makes me feel like I’m back in Tuscany.  It was freezing cold and windy on the day.  Teddy was under the weather.  I was exhausted and had been for weeks.  Ryan wasn’t particularly interested in me dragging him to yet another family photo session. Be that as it may, I am SO glad that we pulled it together and took the opportunity to capture this phase in our family’s lives.  The joy these photographs give me I cannot even begin to describe.  I’ve already had them printed into a coffee table book and I can’t wait to have some prints framed for our walls.
