A Little Rain, A Lot of Love

Some sessions are about more than pretty pictures. They’re about pausing to celebrate something you’ve been praying for, dreaming of, or maybe even keeping a sweet secret. Heather and Davis’ pregnancy announcement session was exactly that—a joyful, love-soaked afternoon we’ll all remember… even when an unexpected summer shower rolled in.

When my sweet friends asked me to photograph their pregnancy announcement, I was so excited. These are the kinds of sessions I love being part of—the start of a brand-new chapter.

We had a plan.
Cute props? Check.
Glowy light? Yep.
Solid location? Done.

And then it rolled in—quick, light, and just enough to make us wonder, “How long is this going to last?” It wasn’t a storm, but definitely too much to shoot through.

One minute, the sky was dreamy and glowing; the next, I was calculating how fast the rain was moving and whether we could wait it out

We made a run for the trees, me holding a blanket over Heather’s head while the rain pattered down (Because of course the umbrellas were in the car) And here’s the thing—they didn’t let it throw them off. They laughed, stayed close, and just rolled with it.

When the rain finally let up, we jumped right back in. If you look closely at the first photo in their gallery, you can still spot tiny raindrops hanging in the air. The rest of the session felt effortless. Davis made Heather laugh, shared little moments of connection, and stayed fully present with her.

They’re already such a team. And this baby is already so loved.

These two are going to make incredible parents, and I can’t wait to watch their story keep unfolding.

Rain delay or not, moments like this remind me why I love what I do.

Thinking about your own pregnancy announcement or maternity session?
If you're in the Murfreesboro, TN area and want photos that feel like you—natural, fun, and full of real connection—I’d love to help you capture it.

We’ll plan for the golden light... and pivot if we need to.
Either way, we’ll get something you’ll want to keep forever.
