Natalya and Sean are expecting – Maternity Portraits in Warrenton, Virginia.

I will try not to drag this post out, but I will have to be honest. It is gonna be hard not to because of the way you roll and meet people and then convert them to family, you know, the chosen ones, at an insane rate 🙂

Well, my Mom is now retired and living the good life. Still, before that, she worked her final years at a shelter for displaced children who were in the midst of either losing their loved ones, their foster home, or being put into foster care, pretty much now in the system we consider handled by social services. The stories my Mom would share would make my heart break, blood boil, and tears roll. Cause while I did not have a perfect life growing up, I always had my Mom. I know this is not the case for everyone, and I never take that for granted.

What does this have to do with Natalya, Sean, or this incoming baby?! Well, Sean worked with my Mom. Mom grew fond of Sean, and the two bonded while working at the shelter. I heard so much about him and how he would visit and help my Mom that he started feeling like family. After meeting Natalya for the first time, she felt like a sister, and let’s just say it’s a good thing we took these shots because the baby arrived very soon after this last-minute session with the two of them. And now let’s just say we have a new NIECE!
