Maternity Session with The Sullivans

He's almost here! Baby James is on his way and I couldn't be more excited! I had the pleasure of capturing his beautiful mother and handsome father to-be this past weekend. We started this session at their home with his two big fur brothers, Max and Coby (who are anticipating his arrival just as much as we all are.) Later we headed over to the local baseball fields to capture some very sweet moments...
While this post is really meant to feature this beautiful couple's maternity images, I can't help but to share a little more about this special family and the impact they have had on my life. If you know this family, you know how some of these shots hold a special meaning in memory of Joe's father, Jim Sullivan. Jim was not only the father of my friend, he was also my high school teacher. He was a baseball coach, a mentor, an educator, an actor, a father, a brother, a husband and so much more. What an amazing man. He lit up a room as soon as he walked in it. His energy was contagious. He made you feel special and made sure you knew you were. His encouragement and mentoring were one that you took to heart. When he spoke, you listened. He is terribly missed by all. While Baby James will never be able to meet his grandfather in person, he will know him through the stories we will tell and the love we all had for him.
