it’s always an honor and joy to photograph maternity shoots - but when it’s your friend of 18 years turned sister-in-law, it just hits different.
we took these back in May before we even knew baby girl’s name - and i just remember feeling a lot of excitement and anticipation for her to be here, and also a little like "how are we old enough to be having babies?” because growing up with someone just makes you both seem forever adolescent -
but more than anything i just felt in awe of + excitement for Kallye + Justin - who’ve been through so much in so little time, who had been trying for some time to bring a little light into their world, and who were already becoming incredible parents.
little Hazel Kate has since arrived and we’re all very enamored by her - but I just love these and wanted to share them - getting to photograph one of my oldest friends becoming who she was always created to be - a mom <3.
love you guysss.
