Last summer, this gorgeous mama welcomed her second son into the world (and just DAYS after this session!!!).


Now she's expecting baby boy number 3, and I'm super excited for her! But here I am playing blog catch-up, so we are celebrating baby Isaiah, who just turned one recently! :)


My dear friend Monica, whom I have known since high school, is an absolutely incredible mama. Her love for her boys is deep and she has worked incredibly hard to provide the best life possible for her babies. This gorgeous mama was absolutely stunning in her lacy white gown, floral crown, curly blond locks, and her piercing blue eyes. If there's a lady who can pull off the small, intense smiles I sometimes ask for, it's Monica. You know looking into her eyes not to mess with this mama bear!!!


Monica did her maternity session among the 2021 wildflowers in Black Forest on the Section 16 trail. Her session felt fairy-like between the lush wildflowers we were blessed with that summer and her well-chosen outfit. When the sun filled through the typical afternoon storm clouds looming overhead, the light became absolutely dreamy!


Monica chose a few special items to include in her photos - always a great idea for a more unique and personalized look! These items were special reminders of her precious baby boy that she didn't know she would be meeting within just a few more days! His little stuffed fox and blanket fit the woodland theme just perfectly - and that's what Monica intended!


I can't wait to meet baby boy #3! Congratulations twice over, beautiful Monica!!!
