I met at their house on a hot, muggy day in June. The storm clouds were rolling in from the distance, but for now…the sun was shining just for us. We talked about the thrill of not finding out if they were to bring home a son or a daughter. We laughed about the differences between single and baby life. We joked about his go-get-em attitude while crafting their cradle. We dreamed about the birthday parties the sweet baby would have, being the due date was so close to the Forth of July. We roamed and chatted and lost track of time.

And I photographed them as they soaked in these moments together.

The thought of the babe, soon to be laid in their arms. The love they shared that carried them to this point. The home they had built together. The road they paved that led us right to this moment. In their nursery. Around their yard. Documenting the growth of their beautiful family.
