Evan & Ally | Manassas, Virginia Maternity Portraits

Gosh, I feel like I have known these two forever! 🙂 I am so honored they asked me to photograph another milestone in their lives. From their engagement to their wedding day to now, welcoming a little baby Synstad into the world in the next few short months! This time with Evan and Ally has been treasured, and I’m so glad my business brought these two into my life! <3

We woke up SUPER early for this sunrise session, but I didn’t realize how early until Evan mentioned that he was still on California time. Yikes! So really, 5 a.m. here, is like 2 a.m. there! I cannot believe they agreed to a sunrise session! Lol! But with time restrictions, this was super ideal. 🙂 Plus, the glowy sunrise lighting was WORTH IT! Evan and Ally made getting up super early look GOOD. Plus, I loveeee Ally’s dress! Doesn’t she look amazing?!

Thank you, Evan and Ally, for the early morning rise and for asking me to document this precious time. I’m so excited for you and this new chapter you are starting together as a family!! CONGRATS and enjoy some of my favorites!!! XOXO!
