Liz, Paul, and Christopher are anxiously awaiting a very special delivery from a large, long-legged bird. And, in just a few short weeks, the precious little bundle will enter his way into the world, changing their lives forever.
I’ve known Paul for a few years now, so when he asked me to take some portraits of his family, I was super excited. Paul is one of the most proud fathers I’ve ever met. He simply lights up when talking about his son, Christopher, and I was thrilled to witness his joy firsthand, and have the opportunity to capture his family in their element.
His wife, Liz, is simply glowing and though I heard she was a little nervous about taking some baby bump pictures, I never would have known it! She was a complete natural in front of the camera and is so down to earth and at peace that I immediately felt at ease in her presence. Is she a beauty or what?!
The adorable Christopher, who recently turned 2, is striking. Talk about a cutie! Wow. His deep blue eyes are absolutely amazing and he is a total crack up. He carries his bunny everywhere with him and adores his mommy and daddy to pieces. He’s going to be such a great big brother. Baby Gallegra is going to be one lucky kid!
Thanks so much for letting me capture this special time in your lives, Gallegras. I can’t wait to meet the new addition!!
Here are a few of my favorites from our session…















I LOVE how he sniffs the “roses”…





Isn’t this the coolest freckle ever? I love the heart on the bun in the oven…so fitting for the love the baby is about to be welcomed into.








Hide and seek…
