Welcome Presleigh Grace|Sweet Rainbow Baby

Welcome Sweet Rainbow Baby!

Oh Presleigh, what a miracle you are and you will never know how much you are loved! They say you have never really loved until you see your child for the first time. As a mom, I may be biased but when my son was put in my arms I never I knew I could love something so much and if I ever tried to explain how much I love my son, you’ll probably see me in tears. I don’t think there will ever be a word that can describe that kind of love. I know Presleigh’s family had been anxiously awaiting her arrival. I found out at the maternity session that Presleigh was going to be a Rainbow Baby. I wanted to make her newborn session special for her parents.

From Belly to One Year! Grow with Me Session

Can you believe Thanksgiving is in 6 days? How did that just creep up on us? We are so excited to finally be able to share an entire Grow with Me Session from Belly to 1 year! I cannot begin to tell you how honored we were this past year to get to know and capture this family’s special memories. From Dani’s stunning maternity session to baby Noah’s one year cakesmash, with every new milestone, it was such a pleasure to watch this little one grow.

Mcnay Maternity Portrait Session|San Antonio, TX.

Maternity Portraits at the McNay Art Museum

There is something so miraculous about preganacy. Our bodies actually creating another life. Maternity portraits are some of my very favorite sessions to photograph. We love capturing this special moment in expectant parents lives, and the excitement, anticipation, and pure love that shows in their eyes. And who can resist the adorable pregnancy baby bump?!? Somedays you feel like the day that your baby will arrive is never going to get here but then, before you know it, your pregnancy is over and you are holding your new sweet tiny baby.

Rainbow Baby Newborn Portraits|San Antonio, TX.

What is a Rainbow Baby?

A Rainbow baby is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn’t mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope. Have you ever met someone who you instantly felt connected to? As you all know I met this beautiful family in one of the most heartbreaking situations you can ever imagine. I met them the day they lost their sweet baby girl Malia. I had only been a volunteer for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS) for a few weeks and this would be my very first session. Little did I know how much this family would change my life. This family has thanked us so many times for capturing all these memories for them and all I can say to them is – No Thank YOU! Thank you for giving me perspective in my life and thank you for showing me how sweet and humble and strong you are are in the worst of times and reminding me that everyday is a gift and to never take any moment for granted.
