I was going to start with the first week I documented (week 8), but first I wanted to share this super amazing shoot I did up in Alaska last month with my friend Grace Adams! I was up in Anchorage shooting a wedding and Dan came with me to get a feel for the city we'd be moving to shortly and I asked Grace if she was available for a last minute shoot with the two of us so we could have some photos to go along with our pregnancy announcement. I was really excited to be able to have some photos with my love so we could share the news with our friends, and it was fun to have the photos done in our new town.
I made a flower crown and bouquet because, well, I have a hard time passing up an excuse to play around with florals. I used some bought flowers and then foraged the rest from our backyard and with the pine branches and red flowers I sort of ended up with a very December-esque crown, which actually is perfect because our tiny person is scheduled to make their first appearance at the beginning of December!
