Ashley, Adam, & baby girl on the way…

We’re going to be an AUNT & UNCLE again very soon!

Words cannot express how over the moon excited I am for the wee little one that’s coming in the next few weeks. I felt similarly during their engagement session, but photographing this session for my baby sister and her hubby was both surreal, and so incredibly special to Brett and me. And look at her….she’s such a gorgeous mama, so full of light. Seeing her family grow warms my heart more than I could have imagined.

I can’t wait to see what this precious girl looks like…she will most likely have brown hair, but Ash’s brown eyes? Adam’s icy blues? Most of all, I can’t wait to have her in my life, adore her, and see her grow with my own kids, Lord willing.

I’m now officially “on call” as she is due in a couple weeks, and I’m prepping to be the best doulographer (that’s doula + photographer) that I can be for these three. And trust me–prepare yourself–you will be seeing that sweet face on this blog quite often. Let’s just say I warned you.  ;)

And I have to mention Tucker, their incredibly happy dog who has no clue that he is about to lose his status as baby.



















lately…

I have an absolute love/hate relationship with my iphone. It drives me crazy–I hate relying on a device, but I know that I capture so much more of everyday moments thanks to having it around. Here’s a look at a few tidbits of life from the past week via instagram. If you follow me, then this is nothing new. ;)

-Gabe and I snuggled up by the fire last week as temps dipped into the single digits in Cincinnati

– Brett and I met up with a few photographers for lunch and coffee last week

– handwriting lesson on the chalkboard

– we surprised the kids and decided last minute to head to Tennessee for the weekend

– cherished country and farm life at Brett’s grandpa’s cabin

-visits to Nashville, and some seriously good coffee

We post to instagram daily. Feel free to follow along with our crazy life… @jesszwo @brettzwo
