Meet the Hambys and Jacqueline Hamby’s beautiful big belly!! I’m all heart eyes over it! I’ve actually known this family for a few years now and remember ooh-ing and aww-ing when their precious daughter, Kendall, was born, so you can imagine how excited I was when they asked me to capture some family moments before their little boy is born.

Mike and Jacq, St.Louis natives, were high school sweethearts and eventually found their way to Mizzou where they both attended college, so it made sense for us to visit the campus and enjoy the perfect weather. The steps of Jesse Hall served as the background and while Kendall wasn’t too excited about smiling at first, she quickly warmed up 😉

When then jumped in the car and headed south of town to the Hinkson Creek Conservation Area to really play in the light and capture some more casual photos. I think Kendall loved getting to adventure around, and no lie, it kind of made me feel like summer was already here 🙂

Hamby family, I cannot wait to meet your baby boy in just a few short weeks. And thank you so much for driving all the way in from St. Louis! Until then –

Laura
