Roughly 2 years ago all of my friends, including my husband and I, were all getting married so it was a crazy time filled with bridal showers and bridesmaids dresses and gorgeous weddings. Flash forward 2 years from then to now and all of my friends are pregnant or having babies so it is a crazy time filled with baby showers and onesies and gorgeous babies. I have had the pleasure of capturing & sharing with you 2 of my best friends and their bumps, here & here, and today I get to share my 3rd with you below, gorgeous Lauren, her handsome husband Paul and of course, the bump!
Lauren & I have been friends since college, the kind of friends that are in each others weddings and have too many stories that start off with "remember that time?" and will be there for each other no matter what forever, the very best kind of friends in my book. And Paul & I have been friends since I heard about him as the "cute guy at work" and knew him and Lauren were it when I saw them together for the first time, just one of the best guys you'll ever know. So to be able to capture this beautiful moment in their lives was one of the best moments for me and I am so happy I was able to do this for them! I did one session with Lauren & Paul in a more urban location with Boston as our backdrop and then stole Lauren for another session to do just her and the bump with a more natural backdrop. Love both of you so very much and can not WAIT to meet your little one in a few short months, she better be ready for some serious spoiling!
And before I conclude this post and let you check out the gorgeousness below I have to be sure to give a shout out to two AWESOME creatives that do beautiful work, so you need to go check them out!
First up is MeTooCharms a local jewelry designer that creates custom charm necklaces, their work is adorable and great for SO MANY occasions. Check out their work below and LIKE them on Facebook, the necklace charms say "baby O" & have a baby footprint, how cute?! And second up is one of my other best friends Betsey, owner and creator of b-spired who creates custom wooden lasercut greeting cards and invitations. I asked her to create some unique wooden art to use and you'll see that below as well. Her stuff is crazy good be sure to give her a LIKE as well.
Alright already, enough chatter, onto the photographs, enjoy!!
