Positive growth.

What is a first look?

Traditionally, a couple would first see one another on their wedding day walking down the aisle. A first look allows you to see your partner BEFORE the ceremony – to have a special moment between the two of you and to capture some beautiful images. 

I personally always recommend a first look to all of my couples. Here’s why.

The sun setting through a dense forest.
Wind turbines standing on a grassy plain, against a blue sky.
The sun shining over a ridge leading down into the shore. In the distance, a car drives down a road.

Why have a first look?

#1 – Eases your nerves

Instead of seeing your partner for the first time in front of a crowd of people, we can make this a more intimate moment for the two of you. Having a first look means you can release those wedding jitters that have been building up all morning as you were getting ready.

The pressure will officially be off of you and your partner when the ceremony begins. You’ve already seen how amazing you both look and now you can just focus on getting married!

Happy due date, Poe Arthur Kirby! 🇺🇸 Our i Happy due date, Poe Arthur Kirby! 🇺🇸 
Our independence baby decided he wanted to come a bit early at 36.5 weeks on 6/10. I woke up around midnight to use the restroom and my water ended up breaking. Poe was born at 3:32pm that same day and weighed 6 lb 9 oz. 3 weeks later and he now weighs a little over 2 lbs more! He had some breathing issues immediately after being born but we were able to avoid the NICU and was nursing like a champ an hour later. 
Tim and I were completely unprepared for Poe’s early arrival. We hadn’t even bought newborn diapers yet and had absolutely no clue where any of the hardware for the bassinet was 🙃But we somehow got it all together in the few days before bringing him home from the hospital. 
Shepherd is absolutely enthralled with his new little brother. He loves holding him and “gently” patting his head. We are totally exhausted but much less anxious this time around as we have an idea of what to expect. 
Oh and my final update - we’ve moved back to Jacksonville! We are laying low until Poe gets a bit bigger and we start getting a little more sleep, but then fully intend on seeing all of our loved ones ❣️
We’ve got a surprise to share ✨ Another July We’ve got a surprise to share ✨
Another July baby will be joining our crew next year. We are equal parts overjoyed and absolutely terrified to have 2 under 2. Let the chaos ensue!
