I met Desiree and Ryan through another couple I’ve photographed. Desiree was nearing the end of her pregnancy and decided she wanted maternity pictures–and I couldn’t have been happier that she came to me.

They live in a great development that has incredibly large lots ((this coming from a gal who lives in a development where I could touch both mine and my neighbors house at the same time)) that were just to die for. I scoped out the area a bit in advance–including, but not limited to–knocking on doors requesting to trample through yards to get to fields.

I’m glad we trampled through yards, and braved the 90+ degree weather, in order to capture this moment before their daughter arrived (her pictures to come soon!!).
