D. and K. are expecting their baby girl any day now. We took a short stroll in the forest to capture these beautiful moments and to walk to help the mama keep the body moving to speed up the process. Their two awesome dogs are going to have a human sister and I'm sure they are as excited as the parents.

I love capturing families and creating timeless photos for them to look back on.
