One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to hold some pretty special secrets for sessions like this. Ashley reached out wanting a beach, 4th of July theme pregnancy annouNcement and I said... hold my sparkler. No, but really, I was so down to try and capture her vision.

Sunsets in June are close to 9:30pm, so we started this session around 8:45pm, patiently waiting for the sun to set. And when it finally did, it was pure magic. We were also waiting for it to get a little darker to get the sparkler photos. 

It is always an honor being trusted and creative with special moments in people's lives. I am so happy for this couple and their soon to be family of three. They are no doubt, going to be the best parents to this little babe!
