I had the privilege of meeting a gracious, BEAUTIFUL, grateful and joyful couple last week. No question why Jason and Maryn were GLOWING in these photos as little baby Charlotte is indeed the one they have been dreaming and praying for. They are just weeks away from finally holding her in their arms, and I wish them nothing but the best as they prep to meet Charlotte. She is their miracle baby. <3

We arrived at the beautiful Sky Meadows Park in Delaplane, Virginia when the snow started to fall. It wasn’t expected, but that’s how cold it was, and Maryn totally rocked the dress by the incredible Sew Trendy Accessories! I’m not going to sugar coat it, but I’m so thankful Jason and Maryn made it through the freezing weather last Friday!!! It must have been in the 20s, plus the wind made it that much colder. Fortunately, when I look through these photos, I only see warmth, love and happiness!

This love story all began with Maryn’s sister being friends with Jason. The mutual connection joined Jason and Maryn together and it was love soon after! Maryn’s sister likes to joke around saying if she had known these two would have ended up together, she would have introduced them a long time ago! Haha! I only met these two for the first time last week and I am SO excited for them!!! They are so deserving of this happiness and I cannot wait to watch them grow as a family.

Thank you, Maryn and Jason, for a great, adventurous time together!!! Charlotte is so lucky to have you two as her parents and I cannot wait to see newborn photos by the incredible Emily Gerald Photography!!! SO happy for you!!! CONGRATS! XOXO!
