Arthur’s Birth Story

19th November 2023

We welcomed our second son, Arthur Ryan Maroun, to the world on 8 September 2023.  I can’t quite believe I’m lucky enough to be the mom to two beautiful baby boys.  The overwhelming sense of joy that I have when I look into the face of each one is indescribable.  There truly is no greater love.  This is Arthur’s Birth Story.

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.

Pregnant with Baby #2

9th July 2023

Goodness gracious, have I truly not posted on my blog since January?  That’s a little alarming.  Life has been really busy so I guess I’ve been sharing life updates on Instagram only this year.  Time to turn that around!  If you didn’t already know, I’m currently pregnant with my Baby #2!  I’m actually thirty weeks pregnant so I have plenty to update you on.
