our growing family.
hey sweet readers! i had to pop in & share these photographs of our growing family from a few weeks ago (my belly has grown a lot since then!). we were lucky enough to hang out with paige for a few hours one morning while we were at austin & amanda kay's wedding in columbia, south carolina. you can see more of her amazing work here & here! she's an amazing woman & we loved getting to spend some time with her.
i'm most grateful she totally captured what i was looking for -- i asked if she could take photos of us where i happened to be pregnant, not photos of me pregnant. does that make sense? i knew what i was hoping for and she captured that perfectly. i'm so excited to share these with our little girl one day. (are you like me & totally fascinated by photos of your parents before you arrived?!)
most of all, i'm grateful for this amazing husband who is on this journey with me -- 31 weeks & counting. i couldn't have done it without him. there's a little hint about our baby girl's name in these photos - we're so excited to meet her! more soon, xo.

LOVE! My favorite is the b&w close-up of you and Ryan...your baby girl is BLESSED - as are you guys. So happy for you, Mary! Think of you often.
GORGEOUS photos Mary! I absolutely love them!
BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm so happy you took photos. I just love them, and she will love you even more for taking them. xo
Absolutely love these. Oh you two are just beaming ! I know your sweet little one is going to love having these to treasure as she grows bigger. =) (And you look beautiful as always!)

Such a special time as two (almost three) captured so perfectly. What beautiful memories these will evoke in years to come!
Wishing you well in these last few weeks!

Aw, these photos are so sweet and adorable! Love them!
Ohh, these are adorable! I love that you had her take regular pictures where you "happened to be pregnant" - too cute.
i love these pictures! you look amazing!
These make me so happy! They are so sweet. I love the way you put it- photos where you happen to be pregnant. What a great way to give a little hint to your ladies name. Tommy and I did not see eye-to-eye on a name until after our little B was born!
Hi Mary!
I've been following your blog for some time now and absolutely love that you decided to share such lovely photos :)
Have to ask - where did you get your white button down oxford shirt? So hard to find a nice one!
Cheers.

i love paige! and i love these photos.... so special! i like your idea of just taking pictures and happening to be pregnant in them.
What a beautiful couple!! These are just the sweetest pictures ever. Congrats on your new member that will be arriving soon!
thanks for all your sweet comments! to answer questions -- white shirt can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/6c2wahx; jeans are old navy skinny maternity jeans (i'm living in those); and tank top is normal old navy striped tank top from this summer. white cardigan was actually what i wore on our wedding night (photo here:http://tulipsandflightsuits.squarespace.com/tulips-flight-suits/2010/2/8/newlyweds-in-a-coffeehouse.html) xo
Just discovered your blog via a pin on pinterest and had to comment on how lovely these photos are (and, really, your whole blog). I am so with you on the "pre-me" photos of my parents -- we'll see if my daughter feels the same (she just turned five months old last week!). Looking forward to reading more here in the future. Thanks. :)
