rachel | expecting {part 1}

This was such an amazing session for so many reasons.  Rachel was a dear friend of mine in high school - and although life led us in different directions, it has been so wonderful to reconnect with her again after all these years.  Prior to us meeting up, I had thrown some ideas at Rachel, and she came totally prepared.  From her super cute props and her dress, to the amazing light we had - I loved it ALL!  And Rachel - she was just glowing and looked absolutely a.m.a.z.i.n.g.  I could not stop photographing her!  Thank you so much, Rachel, for letting me document such a special time in your life...♥

*Also, a big thank you to my sister (Melissa) and for Rachel's sister (Julia) for coming along and for all of your help!  The 4 of us had such an awesome time together!  (Or should I say 5 with our friend 'samantha'?!)
