This incredibly beautiful mother to be is Samantha. She and her husband Andrew are expecting their first child, a baby boy in early December. Nothing can match the excitement and expectations quite like the few months before a baby arrives! Samantha and I talked about the fun and interesting things that usually occupy your mind before a little one arrives. Like how strange but amazing having a pregnant body is, what it will be like to go through delivery and how husbands deal with all the changes along with us. There is something so wonderfully human & miraculous about it all. Samantha was so much fun to talk with as we moved around looking for pretty little nooks to shoot in. She was glowing the whole time. It is not a myth! If your lucky enough to feel well, the joy that radiates while you carry a child somehow makes you glow.
I have known Samantha and her family for years. They are the kind of friends that somehow feel more like family. I’ve also gotten a little more acquainted with Andrew’s family now that this little baby is bringing more people together. With all that said I happen to know how incredibly loving and supportive both families are and that this little boy is one lucky little guy to become a part of it all.
Andrew and Samantha, I am so happy for you both and can’t wait to meet your precious little one.
Love, Dori
