Baby Bump Extravaganza!

I've been visiting Cara weekly now since late October! How is that even possible? Every week I head over to snap some shots of her growing belly. I absolutely love our weekly visits, even though they are usually less than an hour. Her girls yell my name as I walk up the driveway. Cara and I chat and catch up while we move the sofa and hang up the sheet.

Well, I move the sofa because she is pregnant with twins and should not be moving anything!

We talk about life challenges we are each facing and celebrate the good and fun things that are always there even though the tough stuff always gets more attention. She is such a blessing to me and I am so incredibly inspired by everything about her. Her marriage and family are a true testament and witness of Gods eternal goodness and blessing. I can't even fathom having FOUR kids and she is handling it with grace and humbleness that I could only ever aspire to have in my own life. 

Watching and documenting this time in her and her husbands life has affected me in ways I never thought possible. Although I am very excited to meet little Alex and Austin when they arrive next month, I will absolutely miss my weekly visits at the Christman house. But I will be forever grateful to have been a part of this time in this growing families lives! 

Here are a few more posts that are a part of the Christman twins arrival!

Announcement 

Maternity 

Baby Shower

not one but TWO {twin pregnancy reveal}!!

I woke up Friday morning knowing that my friend was pregnant, I was NOT however expecting the phone call late morning from the hospital parking lot telling me she just found out it was TWINS. 

TWO BABIES!!

She was laughing and crying and crying and laughing. She said, "we NEED to do something to announce this!" 

By Friday evening at 6pm we had these pictures captured so she could announce on social media over the weekend. 

Our jobs can be tough. Emails, phone calls, setting expectations, worrying about pricing, needing validation for our art, wondering if we are "good enough".....

Our jobs can also be amazing. 

These photos have solidified and captured a memory not only for this family but for me. They will look back at these photos and remember the emotions and feelings and happiness and nervousness and joy. I am so glad I am able to be a part of that.

Congratulations Christmans!
