Remember when I did a post about Mommy and Me sessions and why I think they’re so important? One day last winter, Katie hosted a coffee and prayer meeting at her house. As it often does when mothers get together, the topic of pregnancy and new babies came up. I brought up that time I accidentally had a photoshoot of just me and Saithe, and how amazing that experience ended up being. Imagine my delight when Katie came back to me not long after that meeting and said she wanted to do a Mommy and Me session with Grace before Baby Sophia came!!

We met at the Newport News Rose Garden one bright April morning, and the roses greeted us in all their glory. Grace was definitely in charge this day, and we were loving it! She guided us around to look at all the different colors of roses. Exploring each row so thoroughly we could barely get her to stay in one place! I think her favorite activity was smelling the roses with Mommy.

Katie, thank you and Grace for spending your morning with me this past spring! I so enjoyed the opportunity to document this special time between you and Grace. We may have since welcomed Sophia and gone through a few seasons but I still love these images so much! I pray these are photos you will all cherish for years to come. I can’t wait to watch the girls grow and see all that God has in store for your family.
