Love Grows

I met Anna Comfort (her last name has since changed, however her sincere sweetness, intelligence, and beauty, has stayed just as true and undeniable as ever) at Gonzaga University. We were simply ‘friends-of-friends’ until we shared a triple bedroom while studying abroad in Florence, Italy (a triple bedroom that was probably originally intended to be a single or maybe a double). We got to know each other really well over that whirlwind semester. It was an unforgettable, monumental, epic adventure, but I know the one she is embarking on now is going to be the adventure of her lifetime.

Even in college, I always told her she was destined to be an amazing mom, one of those apple-pie-baking soccer-mom-van-driving insanely-beautiful moms (at least that was always the image in my head). She is one of those people who you just can’t help but love; someone who can restore your faith in humanity and the pure goodness of people. She brings a lightness and joy wherever she goes and cares so deeply and loves so truly. I can remember so many times she spoke about how excited she was to become a mom someday. I knew that her kids would be some of the luckiest kids on this earth, and finally, one of those lucky kids is about to join her earth-side.

Years after those college days full of classes and dreaming and talking of the future and endless possibilities, it was so sweet and special to be able to photograph Anna and her hubby Andy during this exciting time before their baby girl is born.
