“So this is love, So this is what makes life divine.”

~cinderella

When you are on the cusp of motherhood, all sorts of thoughts run through your head. Happy thoughts, deep thoughts, worried thoughts. For me, my thoughts turned to my own mother. Suddenly, I saw her in a whole new light and all the talks and strictness were all at once understood. The need for protectiveness comes and it never leaves.

When I was chatting with this sweet new mother-to-be (now a mommy!) about a vision for her maternity session, she spoke of her memories of her mother, no longer with her. Those memories included sweet times watching Cinderella with her mother. In fact, her son was to be named Augustine–and called Gus, one of the little mouse sidekicks to Cinderella in the movie. It was only fitting, then, that we photograph her in front of this gorgeous Cinderella wall, don’t you think?

What a beauty and such a darling couple. I so enjoyed our time together visiting different spots, and they were both so sweet. Thank you for a fun time, E and M! Much love!
