summer baby + lots of love
The evening of July 11th was a magical one! We celebrated Baby Ripple who is due to make their appearance in August. Elizabeth has been a good friend for a couple years now, so when she messaged me a few months ago telling me she was pregnant, I freaked out with excitement! But then she asked if I would be apart of their maternity photos and I think I cried a little bit. That meant so, so much to me! Fast forward to mid July and we spent a hot, sweaty evening together wandering around downtown Springfield with their good friends Sydney and Mike taking photos. (Mike is an awesome photographer! Check out his work here) We went to the Dana Thomas House (One of Wade's favorite places and my new favorite location for photos), the state capitol, and Washington Park. Elizabeth is one of the most supportive, welcoming, and loving people I have ever met. Wade is so beyond talented and caring. This baby is blessed beyond belief with such great parents - I have no doubt that these two will succeed immensely at being parents. Thank you for including me in such a wonderful milestone, Elizabeth and Wade. I'm eternally grateful to have been in on this!
