This was a very special maternity session for two reasons...Angela and I have been friends since we were 5 years old...a long long time! :) I have many wonderful memories of our childhood together...including playing 'house' where I ALWAYS had a baby girl and she ALWAYS had a baby boy (and sometimes, we used my cat as one of our babies). (Who knew 25 years later, I would have a boy and her little girl would be on her way!!)
The second reason this was special to me was that she had asked me about 15 or so months ago if I would do her maternity photos as she was nearing the 5 month mark. But suddenly oneday, Vic and Angela lost their first precious baby girl. When we had just spoken about doing maternity photos, now we were suddenly seeing each other at the funeral of their daughter, Ellarie Violet.
Now baby girl #2 is on her way, and though it's been a long hard road for them with the grief from losing their first baby and the anxieties that would come with a pregnancy following something like that, her due date is just around the corner! Anytime now, they'll be starting an amazing life with their sweet baby girl!!
Ang and Vic, I'm SO excited for both of you and felt completely honoured that you asked me to capture this special time for you! :) You're going to make such wonderful parents!!
