I’m a firm believer that everyone you meet/cross paths with in life happened for a reason! I first met Sam over the summer when she applied for a position that was open at my “real world” job I had at the time. I was on her interview committee! Fast forward a few months later, we still hadn’t “officially” hired for the position yet, then I no longer worked at that job anymore thank the Lord! I got an email inquiring about a maternity session from a girl named Sam who told me she was pregnant for the first time with TWINS & then went on to tell me a little bit about herself which also included where she worked! She got the position she applied for finally & then I realized I had been on her interview committee! Small world! Ironically, we would’ve been working in the same department & office area if I still had my old job!

Fire & EMS are a huge part of her & her husbands life! So no surprise when she ran her shoot locations by me that one included the firehouse! We set a date for their shoot & of course it was insanely cloudy, dreary..not ideal for a happy maternity shoot! We rescheduled and whatta ya know…it RAINED! So we planned for a third time…woke up & it was sunny..then when it was time for me to leave the sun went away & it got cloudy again! Oh well! I was on my way & we were on borrowed time & didn’t want to push any more reschedules in case the babies came early!

Now not all husbands like taking pictures in general, let alone maternity pics! But Colin did awesome! And the best part came when I got a post on Facebook from Sam saying Colin said I was going to shoot all their pics from now on! Score! Won over another husband!

First stop…firehouse! Now I thought she was just going to pose beside the truck, etc…nope….she climbed up on top of the truck to shoot! To have 2 babies in there she moved around like a champ! Then we headed over to her in-laws gorgeous house to shoot & wrapped up with some finger painting on the belly! Oh the stories the belly could tell during the finger painting session! ;D

One of my faves! Yes, she’s in her own gear!

My other fave! She got this one for their nursery!

Tomorrow will be a very special post! You’ll get to meet those babes! They’re here, they’re here!
