The "J" Family Waiting for Baby in Biddeford Pool

Michelle & Jory have been in front of my camera seven times since 2014 and I swear it gets better. Every. Single. Time. This week, I am anxiously waiting for the news of their second child arriving in the world. As the excitement builds, looking back at their sunset engagement session in Biddeford Pool a few weeks ago might be the ticket to staying calm. I met up with the family during sunset for a family exploration turned maternity portraits, which is just how I like my sessions to go with families. We get together. We explore. We laugh. A lot.

Samantha & Ryan's Maternity Portraits

It is hard to believe that we are mere weeks... days... away from meeting Samantha & Ryan's bundle of joy. And here I am getting nostalgic about the journey that I've been on with them since they first contacted me about their wedding in early 2013. It blows my mind that it's been that long already! Over the last five years, I've captured their engagement portraits and then Sam's bridal shower before their wedding in July of 2014.

Two is about to become three: Michelle & Jory's Winter Maternity Portraits at Pineland Farms.

It is impossible for me to believe that it has been a year and a half since Jory & Michelle were married. That means it's been two and a half years since I first met Michelle over a cup of coffee (after we determined we were at different Dunkin' Donuts) to talk about their wedding plans. My how time flies! Needless to say, I was more than a little excited when they announced the impending arrival of their little one AND that they wanted to get together for maternity portraits.

Brittany & Dan's Old Port Maternity Session in Portland, Maine

Woah. That's about how I can sum this one up.

How has it already been five years since Brittany & Dan tied the knot? Or just about that long since their epic trash the dress session in Portsmouth, New Hampshire before the bridge was taken down?
