Elisabeth and Colin enjoy being married. Or at least, it seems quite clear to me. They are both wonderful, sweet, funny folks — and as it turns out, they are practically our neighbors. Which means when this baby gets here, I’m going to be volunteering to babysit!

We met Elisabeth at church, where she is a super-fantastic assistant to the Minister of Families. Until the baby arrives, and then her main title will be Mommy.

Since Elisabeth and Colin are celebrating this pregnancy at this festive time of year, they wanted some Christmasy maternity portraits. I love the eclectic way they’ve decorated their pretty tree!

I know it’s cliché, but I really do think Elisabeth may be glowing.

It’s great fun to do maternity sessions at various locations (outdoor or otherwise), but I also think it’s a lovely idea to do them at the couple’s home, like we did with Elisabeth and Colin. After all, it’s where they’ll be bringing their little one to her first home!


Merry Christmas, y’all! I can’t wait to meet your little gal!
