A Cool Spring Evening | Downtown Charleston, SC Sunset Maternity Session

This Sunset Maternity Session in Downtown Charleston is from back in March. Despite the fact that we'd had some really warm weather, it was surprisingly cool on this evening. Mom hung in there and everything turned out beautifully!

Charleston didn't disappoint and gave us beautiful blossoms and a golden sunset.

Mom is from Charleston so I asked her if the city ever loses it's charm. Of course, she replied "No."                                                                                                                                                     How could it?

Because there were two stars of the show last night... 

Rain in Charleston is pretty rare. Or at least it feels that way after living in Seattle for three years.  We had gone days without a drop of rain and then on session day, it was pouring! We pushed the session back until the next day without a chance of rain and hoped for the best since Missy and her husband were on vacation at Folly Beach. 

Y'all, last night was perfection. Cotten candy clouds over the surf and a pug wearing a bow-tie. What could be better that that?

Pam was one of the first people I met in Washington. We instantly hit it off because, even though we met on the opposite side of the country, we grew up about 20 minutes apart in Georgia. I'm pretty sure we were friends from that day on. The Navy has a way of doing that. We've endured deployments and celebrated homecomings. We've run many miles and races together, prayed together, and just did life together. We were thrilled to get orders to Charleston, the town where they had also moved.

And now we get to celebrate with them because they are adding a little girl to their family! With Pam's sweet, compassionate spirit and Kyle's calm, patient soul, this baby is going to have two of the most amazing parents! 

It was a warm evening in downtown Charleston, but Hampton Park was so good to us. Although it had rained for days prior, the sun was shining and the flowers were in full bloom. 

I know I speak for everyone when I say that I cannot wait to meet this little girl! I hope she knows how much she was prayed for and how many people already love her.
