I met Ryan on her wedding day and felt immediately connected but I kind of feel like everyone finds a way to connect with her. When I saw through the internet world that she was pregnant and expecting with Jeff I was so happy for her and then when she reached out for me to take maternity pictures, I was even happier.

She described the pictures she wanted as "goddess like" and that being pregnant was one of the most romantic experiences she'd ever had. I couldn't wait to go in to their family home and be a part of capturing this sweet time in their lives.

Ryan is the type of pregnant mama that you see in passing and wonder if you'll ever be half as beautiful and content seeming as she pulls off. Growing a human is an awesome thing.
