There's an inherent calm that comes with a second pregnancy that most moms feel. You've survived the first child's infancy with your sanity (mostly) intact - that alone gives you the kind of confidence that nothing else can! You've also grown as a woman, as a partner, you've learned to not sweat the small stuff any more... Ok! Ok! I'll re-phrase! ... you've gotten better at not sweating the small stuff, you've become more trusting of your instincts, you're more patient.
I met up with this sweet family for an early (early!) morning session to beat the Texas summer heat, and catch some beautiful light on top of a hill in Fort Worth. Katy is a friend of mine, and although it's not their first time in front of my camera, I think it's my favorite session that we've done thus far! This feeling may not last long, considering that the next time will be not that far off in the future, as her baby girl is joining us earthside in a few short weeks! Can't wait to meet you, baby Libby!
The connection between this momma and her first boy is undeniable! He's been quite excited about baby sister's arrival, and preparing by swaddling and holding his stuffed animals. Can't wait to see him in the role of a big brother!
