Michelle and Mark | South Arkansas Maternity Photographer – North Louisiana Lifestyle Family and Newborn Photographer

Michelle and Mark are some of my good friends. Mark and I grew up going to church together in North Louisiana. We were in Sunday school and youth group together. Basically we have known each other our whole lives.

I met Michelle either at a youth camp our church puts together or on a family vacation to Florida where she lived. Michelle, you’ll have to remind me which it was. I feel like it was youth camp. I can’t believe I can’t remember!! Either way, we met as teens and stayed friends. We would see each other either at youth camp each year and then if we got lucky we would see each other again in the Summer while on our family vacation.

Michelle was a bridesmaid in my wedding and I photographed her wedding. That was a fun trip.

I still vivdly remember the day I got a call from Michelle asking me about Mark. She knew that we went to the same church so she wanted all the details. We chatted for a while and the next thing we knew she was visiting us in Louisiana and then he was visiting her in Florida. Yep, it was a done deal.

Now they are soon to welcome their sweet baby boy into the world and I can’t wait to see them as parents. There is nothing lilke it in the world! I know you two wil be the best of parents.

We had their session in Magnolia Arkansas where they live. We grabbed lunch together after church and then went on to SAU- the college in Magnolia where Mark actually went. It’s a lovely college campus with so much character. It was easy to find great spots here and I am sure it won’t be my last time to visit.

It was such a perfect day for a maternity session, too! Warm sunshine graced us with it’s presence. This was such a happy welcome with all the cold we have had.

I can’t wait for you to see these images!! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
