She Prospers Photography: The Kraft Family

It is an honor for my friends to allow me to photograph their families and this time was no exception. My precious college friend Emily and her two children Maddie and Mason are family to me and with their dad and Em's husband Jeff is away on a deployment, we thought it would be fun to snap some pictures of home to send his way.

Maddie and Mason are just bursting with energy but I had so much fun chasing them around the park while my little one snoozed away in his stroller. Also, a big Happy 1st Birthday to you little Mason! It was a gorgeous Fall day and it was a joy to capture memories of this little fam. Jeff, we love you and are so thankful for your service to our country!
                                                                                                                         

             

Maternity Pictures

I'm currently sitting here staring at my handsome two week year old baby boy and I cannot believe that just a few days ago I was big and pregnant. It's already odd to think about how our lives looked without Judah being apart of it but looking at these pictures makes me want to be pregnant all over again. I didn't think it was possible to think that thought so soon after giving birth but there is nothing like knowing that little life inside you is dependent upon you even before you've ever met.

Pregnancy is truly a miraculous experience and I feel privileged and blessed to have walked through these last nine months and have now entered motherhood. Giving birth was the most difficult and yet most rewarding thing that I've ever done but it's worth every second of waiting once you lock eyes with your baby.  My heart is truly overflowing with gratitude to the Lord for a healthy pregnancy and delivery and I cannot believe that I have the privilege of being Judah's mom. This morning we took our newborn pictures and I cannot wait to lay my eyes on them, until then I'm satisfied treasuring these sweet pregnant moments that our friend Liz captured (she's taken all of our photos since our engagement and we love her so! ). Happy a happy week friends! Photos by Elizabeth Claire Photography.
