Kelsey and Mike are such genuine, beautiful people. The kind of people that you WANT to spend your time with, even if they aren’t hiring you to capture beautiful photographs of them. I was lucky enough to photograph their engagement and wedding so of course I was beyond excited when I heard they were expecting and wanted me to capture that. Ariel Johnson came to the studio for Kelsey’s hair and make up application (and can we discuss her beauty? k, maybe I already have; I probably will again).

The first part of Kelsey’s session included the use of any dress in the Darling Studio Closet and she chose this STUNNING piece I rented from Opal and June. All Darling clients have the option of using any dresses in the Darling Closet and top tier clients can also choose a dress that I will rent and have delivered from Opal and June! You can rent these beauties too, just visit their website (or click the Opal and June link above for their Facebook Group) and use the code DARLING15 for a 15% off discount. Now back to Kelsey – we had so much fun capturing her belly in the studio, she is already a stunning mother and I cannot wait to see that sweet baby boy in just over a month. Actually, it’s closer to 2 months but who’s counting? (Just kidding, we are all counting). Stay tuned for Part 2 of Kelsey’s gorgeous session which includes THREE more beautiful dresses and lots of snuggles from her husband (ps, if Mike is half as good as a Dad as he his a husband, he’s gonna CRUSH the dad vibes).
