belly + love

Mama's going to have a baby. She is beautiful in her lavender and blond curls. She simply glows with joy. Emily gets to be a part of a miracle, she gets to bring a baby into this world. With every waking day, I am reminded of what a miracle life is.
Sweet Avery will be here in just a few short weeks and she will be held and squeezed and loved to bunches. She will know that not only mom and dad love her, but Jesus loves her and has a plan for her already in store. What a relief for a parent to know that God already has every step planned out. Until then, she will keep growing strong in mama's belly and be loved just the way she is.
I can't wait to meet you sweet girl.

Blond Curls & a Lavender Belly

I met Emily shortly after moving to Tampa. She welcomed me with open arms and I have had the great opportunity to hear her heart and where God has taken her and her family despite the worst of circumstances. She is strong. She is beautiful. She is a mother.

In just a few short weeks, Emily will be a mama to a beautiful baby girl, a gift from God. This week we spent a couple of hours laughing and taking photos of what is now and axiously awaiting the arrival of such a sweet, sweet gift. Here is a preview of what is to come.

Until next time...

Manbeck I Maternity

Babies are in the air! You look around and there are baby bumps on bellies everywhere you turn. Kelly is one of those women. With just a couple more weeks to go until she gets to meet her precious baby boy, she took a moment to pause and capture this moment in the lives of both her and her family. I have known Kelly all my life. She was the first call on the babysitting list for quite some time and now she is soon to be a mother of two. We started on the Circle of downtown Indianapolis and ventured just a couple of blocks from that for the afternoon. Kelly is an adorable little pregnant woman and spending time with her, her husband Jonathan, and entertaining little Ian was a blessing to my day. 
Thank you Manbeck Family! I am excited for what is ahead for you!
