Last week I had the oppertunity to photograph the Simmons Family as they prepare to welcome a new addition to their family. Bethany was a little nervous about baring her pregnant belly, but she is so STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL there was no need for fear. She looks so beautiful, and her family is so excited to welcome a new baby come June.

I made a slideshow of images from the afternoon we spent together in their lovely home. Mike and Bethany wanted intimate family portraits, and that is just what we got. I always cry at weddings, but it isn’t often a family portrait session can make me weep. But this family is amazing, and there love is tangible – you can feel it the moment you walk in their home. It was so important for me to capture the way that house felt, and the way this family felt about each other. I’m not sure these images do any justice to how beautiful this family is. The first time I watched it I couldn’t help crying. This is what being a family is all about.

Thank you Mike, Bethany and Hailey for the chance of a lifetime. And baby David… I can’t wait to meet you too.
