The crazy amount of snow in Virginia Beach recently shut just about everything down, including schools, & I had an unexpected seven days off at home with Waverly Maye over the past two weeks! 🙂 Even though by day four we were feeling cabin fever to the max (& I am already dreading making the days up), I can’t help but think what a blessing all of this extra time together was. My husband still worked through out, so it was just us girls for days upon days, something that doesn’t happen near enough. Waverly really is my sidekick, my little best friend, & even though she drives me crazy, I am crazy in love with her. I am so thankful for these pictures to document these sweet moments before our family grows, with the girl who made me a mama & the littlest one still in my belly.
Our sweet, sweet photographer turned friend Brooke called us after our second snowstorm to ask if we wanted to meet her for a random photo session, & of course, we took her up on the offer! However, anyone who knows me knows how much of a planner I am, Type-A to a fault, so getting Waverly & I ready (plus picking out our outfits) in just one hour was a little overwhelming. I mean, I usually would have been shopping & pinning images for months before something like that. 😉 Yet that is one of the many things I love about these pictures, that they forced me to be spontaneous & live in the moment, which is fitting, since Waverly has taught me a lot about just that over the last two years.
The biggest thank you to Brooke of Brooke Tucker Photography, who is beyond talented & SUCH a joy to work with! I had such a hard time picking just a few favorites for this post, our biggest problem will be finding enough space on our walls for all the ones we love so very much. Brooke, we are so appreciative of all the images you continue to capture of our growing family, & are so excited for our maternity photos (with our main man this time) this spring!
PS – My hat, jacket & maternity jeans are all from H&M, in-store. Waverly’s dress & leggings are from a boutique, past season, her hat, socks & shoes are from Zara. The snow is all compliments of Virginia Beach, we loved it while it lasted but now are ready for SPRING!

So beautiful. You both look so happy and full of joy, such great photos. And you look amazing!!!
You guys definitely made the best use of the snowy landscape to make for some beautiful pictures!
Love the pics. So cute.

Beautiful! What a way to spend a snow day.
These pictures are stunning! What a blessing to have some unexpected days off with Waverly!
So beautiful!
Ummmm, the fact that you just threw both of those outfits together is amazing. You both look beautiful and are glowing with happiness. I love the white backdrop with your hair, so beautiful!
So much fun, and what a fun memory for Waverly too. Especially if snow like that isn't a huge occurrence. I grew up at the beach too and we never got as much as those in-land.
These pictures couldn't be more perfect!! You and Waverly are SO adorable and I loooooooove the outfits you chose! Ah! Dying over the cuteness!
These are simply beautiful! I love all the white & nuetral colors! I can't wait for my maternity photos now… However I like to be risky and wait til 36 or 37 weeks.
Love these photos! You both look beautiful!
These are beautiful and your color choices and outfits were on point! I am the same way girlfriend… Type A! 😉 I can't wait to see more maternity pics of all of you guys!!
I'm SO glad that you had an opportunity to do these photos – they are absolutely gorgeous, my sweet friend. Your hair looks amazing. Just amazing. And the greys, creams, and cognacs just play perfectly off of all the white snow. Oh, and Waverly looks totally stylish too. Love. Love. Love. Please frame all of these!:)
Gorgeous pictures! You would never know you picked out your outfits so fast lol. They look perfectly planned out together!
