any day now


Meet John and Jessica.

John works for my husband, and as you can see, he is about to become a father.


It goes without saying that he's pretty excited to meet his new little girl.

I've known John for quite a while, but I just met his wife Jessica last week.


Could she be any cuter?

You won't believe this, but she is due Saturday.

As in, less than a week away.

As in, it should be a crime to look this good full term.


Her ankles are not swollen.

She does not waddle.

It does not take a forklift to get her off the ground.

It's impossible to hold a grudge though, because she is truly one of the sweetest things I have ever met.


John and Jessica were high school sweethearts and I'm guessing they won the cutest couple award.


If by some slight chance they didn't, I am officially awarding it now.


It's so exciting to think about how life is going to change in an instant for John and Jessica. A little girl that they have not yet met is going to rock their world.


Once their little pink bundle arrives, there will be a new star of the show.

A new center of their universe.


And how fun for me to be able to capture it all.


In a few weeks, we'll do all this again with an extra little person along for the ride.


Dear John and Jessica,

Congratulations! I can easily see you will be amazing parents. Enjoy these last few minutes together before your life changes forever in the best possible way. I had so much fun photographing this special time in your life, and I am so excited to meet your little princess.

Your friend and future baby holder,

Teresa

  1. Wow....what great pictures! How special to capture those last few moments as just husband and wife before we becomes "family".

    Yes it is a crime to look that good right before the due date.

  2. Beautifully done! Your pictures of them say it all - the love and respect they have for each other and the anticipation they are enjoying until the moment of her birth.

  5. I had a lump in my throat just looking at these shots. There is photography and then there is photojournalism. You got the story down in perfect pictures and tugged at my heartstrings in the process.

  12. You did a wonderful job, Teresa! I love all of them, and mostly that they feel genuine instead of "too staged" if you know what I mean. You had wonderful subjects and gorgeous backdrops...love the one of the barn especially and the pond!

    You're sweet to do this for them; it's something they'll always treasure and it will be a special memory.
    XOXO

  14. I LOVE these pictures. They are so precious! I always look at pregnancy pics from the perspective of how I would feel if those people were my parents and pregnant with me. A lot of pregnancy pictures are kind of creepy and uncomfortable. It takes a sweet spirit to capture the preciousness of the season and you have certainly done that with these photos. Lovely.

  18. What a beautiful post on a beautiful couple about to become a family. Your photos are wonderful as always and what a lovely momento for them to have. Your little note to them at the end of your post was very touching and I can hardly wait to see the stunning photographs you are going to take of their new little girl.

  19. Beautiful photos. Although I'm not sure if I'm enamored with her, or hate her for looking so great and so pregnant -- because I'm pretty sure, scratch that, I KNOW I looked awful when I was 39+ weeks pregnant!
