Maternity Portraits on the ECR - Pauline and Manoah

What a beautiful day this was! God has given me this precious blessing where He fills my job with the absolute sweetest clients who make everything so good and this couple is one of those gems. 

I remember from our texts how friendly, sweet, trusting and so co-operative Pauly was but who they were the day of was even better! They were so punctual they reached extremely early and while we were texting about each other's whereabouts Pauly was very kind to ask me if they could get me something to drink, which is honestly so sweet. And she didn't stop there!

Throughout the entire shoot, she kept asking, "are you doing good?" despite the fact that it was her that is pregnant! I kept saying," yeah" and at one point Manoah left to get Pauly water and came back with soft drinks for all of us! Such a kind act!

Huge shoutout to Pauly for being such a champ! She was ready to do anything I asked and she did - from sitting on stones to being ready to even sit on the road, this sweet girl was just awesome. And Manoah deserves an award for readily posing on the road to being so patient and cooperative. Champ of a husband, truly! 

We did so many things at this shoot that I was doing for the first time and Pauly and Manoah were all in with all my ideas! I hung ultrasound pictures from plants (the pictures turned out so cute!) and sat in the middle of the road for a picture (square right in the middle!). 

This was just such a joyful day and it got even better as we were packing up to leave and they handed me a big bag of gifts! They had gotten me a luxury perfume set and a cup!

I'm someone that loves gifts and God fills my job with clients who get me so many gifts and chocolates! 

I'm so glad that I got to meet and work with Pauly and Manoah! They are truly one of the sweetest couples I've had the honor of photographing. 

Today was perfect and it was only so because my Heavenly Father made it so. Praise God for everything!
