Yesterday evening, I met with the gorgeous Kirra and Dave, who are expecting their first baby in mid-December! We spent a relaxed and joy-filled afternoon capturing Kirra’s beautiful bump, surrounded by golden light and a whole lot of laughter. Their connection, their anticipation—it was so special to witness and document.

I’m already counting down the weeks until I get to meet and photograph their precious little one.

Whether it’s in the studio or out under the wide open sky, I’m so grateful for every family that invites me to be part of their journey.

A really personal story about infant loss.
