When Nathan first contacted me, I was thrilled. Not only was the husband doing the footwork to book the maternity shoot for their first baby – but he was also doing it as a surprise for his wife. ( Hello instant brownie points for that, right?!) .

So before I ever photographed the two of them, I knew this couple was going to be amazing to spend time with. And of course, I was right.  Melissa is just beautiful pregnant, I mean seriously, seriously , seriously gorgeous.  Not only do I think she is beautiful, but Nathan obviously agree’s – I watched the way he looked at her during their session, and it was enough to make anyone do a collective “awwwwww”.

Melissa is also my kind of girl – while on a walk she found a fallen down TREE and dragged that sucker home so that she could put it in her nursery. Ya – wonderwomen status right there.

Melissa & Nathan, I am so excited for the two of you! XO Allie
