That beautiful air of excitement, anticipation and joy that follows couple around in the lead up to their baby’s arrival is something that I just LOVE to capture. Perhaps because it reminds me of how much I JUST. COULDN’T. WAIT. to meet Levi in the weeks leading up to his birth. Or perhaps because expectant parents are just always so blissfully happy.

This couple is no exception. They will make beautiful parents.

Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body ~ Elizabeth Stone

This little princess is surrounded by an air of peace and absolute contentment. Like she is just so happy to be. With beautiful parents, two adoring big brothers, and a couple of curious canines to her name, how could you not be happy? The first image here is my absolute favourite - I just can't get past those beautiful creases at the back of her neck. She is sooooo perfect. Congratulations Mum and Dad.

To be in the presence of this Mum and her baby girl is to witness a pure, delightful, joyous, make-you-want-to-twirl-around, beautiful love. The kind of love another Mum can see a mile away…
