Michelle had texted me one night sharing that her and Vince were expecting a baby this year and I let out the most exciting cheer once I got that text! Reconnecting with my couples and capturing their new chapter in life fills my heart with warmth and joy! We met up this weekend in Grand Rapids as we explored the beauty that Michigan offers; the tall green grass swaying, dark lush tree lines in the background, and a golden glow all at the spot their journey started, it couldn’t have been more perfect.

The air was filled with the sweetest giggles as Michelle and Vince took in their final few months of being pregnant. Their genuine connection and shared happiness was way too cute. To add to the moment, he peaceful sounds of nature that surrounded us — a gentle breeze rustling the leaves, birds singing their evening songs…the surroundings allowed us all to relax and fully embrace the beautiful moments we were experiencing.

One of the most exciting aspects of Michelle and Vince’s maternity journey is their decision to keep the baby’s gender a surprise until delivery day. I cannot wait to meet Baby Pelino here in September! Enjoy scrolling through my favorites from this Michigan maternity session.
