I first met Tanna & Louie a year ago where they contacted me to capture their 1 year anniversary. We had a blast at Lincoln State Woods on a beautiful March day.  A year later, Tanna contacted me again with some big news. I remember I got a text from her saying "RYAN. GUESS WHAT!" And at first, I thought maybe she wanted to get her second anniversary photographed, but her news was much more exciting than that. She had a baby boy on the way, and it was time to capture the next chapter of their story together. 

Liam can't have better parents than these two. They are two of the most loving, kind, clients I know and Liam is blessed to call them Mommy & Daddy. With just two weeks to go, it'll be any day now that they welcome him to this world. 

I am so blessed to be a photographer and capture moments like these on camera. Photos that Tanna, Louie and Liam will look back on when he's 20, and say "wow, look how big your belly was mom!" My job is seriously awesome. 

I've known Dennys & Yassara for almost 10 years now. I can't even believe it's been that long. I met them way back when I was in middle school and was friends with Yassara's sister - Isabelle. Isabelle invited me to her church one night and that's how I came to know Jesus. It's a bigger story than that but, this family has been like a second to my own. They've taught me to be stronger, they've helped me become more humble and make better choices. Dennys specifically has always felt like a "spiritual dad" in a way. He used to lead the youth at the church we all started out at. I look up to him and Yassara as a couple. Their love is pure, strong, and everlasting. I was there at their wedding, I photographed them for an anniversary session in the fall a few years back and now they're on their next chapter in life and I am honored to be photographing them yet again. It's clients like this that make me happy to be a photographer. They won't go to anyone else, they don't feel comfortable with anyone else and they trust me 100% with capturing their story. 

I love these images. I've never done a Maternity session before but I absolutely love the way this came out. 

Congratulations Dennys & Yassara. I can't wait to meet baby Ethan!
