Lindsay and Stephan are a sweethearted and loving couple from Clayton that have been married for 3 years and hold tight bonds with their friends and family as well as their extended family at C3 Church just down the street. Last year they decided to take a big step and extend their own family!
Soon after when they found out that they were pregnant, they contacted me to check my availability for a fun photography session. Normally I don’t promote my maternity photography, but in the case when someone asks me (or if it is a past client) I am more than happy to oblige. I especially enjoy fun sessions where the focus is still on the couple. As they waited for Lindsay to start “showing” they kept in touch with me on how things were going.
I even had a chance to see their 3D ultrasound which was pretty cool! I joked with them that maybe there were a few “sleeper” babies just waiting to surprise them. For those of you that may be wondering what the heck I’m talking about, I was referencing a term in bowling where the “sleeper pin” is a rear pin that is not easily seen because of a pin directly in front of it. I don’t know that they were thrilled about that idea and decided that one baby was going to be enough for now!
As time went by Lindsay’s belly got bigger (as one would expect in a circumstance such as this) but they also got busier and busier with baby classes and preparing the nursery. It became difficult to lock in the perfect time to schedule the shoot. 9 months snuck up on us pretty quick and before we knew it Lindsay was going to be due in a week so we decided to photograph the next day.
We had fun scoping out Clayton for some fun locations and later went back to there house for some cozy shots that included their weimaraner, Bray. I must say that they could not have cut it any closer! Just a day and half after our pregnancy couple photos Lindsay and Stephan announced the birth of Wyatt James Caldwell. I teased them that all of the moving about during the shoot must have caused Wyatt to want come out ASAP!
I noticed that if Stephen covered up a few letters on one of the signs that we could make a new sign up to make Lindsay laugh!
What are the chances that we would find a swing seat that said “Miracle?”
Don’t worry Bray! They won’t love you any less. :)
A perfect nursery to welcome their new baby home to!
