Celia: maternity

Meet Celia and her boys.  

She is due with a new baby boy towards the end of January.  

I was beyond thrilled when she asked me to photograph her pregnancy.  I first met Celia when she was 16 years old, wearing khakis and a polo.  She was a student at Maranatha High School. I was her psychology teacher.  I met her husband, David, when he was around the same age.  He too, was wearing khaki's and a polo.  They were high school sweethearts.  I have loved watching them turn into 2 amazing young adults.  As I went through their photos, seeing them side by side was especially moving...miraculous, joyous, and just as it should be-just how God has brought it to be.  

They are a family full of smiles, energy, and togetherness.  Celia would be hanging with me picking out more fabulous earrings to wear for the next set of photos (she, like me, has a thing for big, fun earrings) and there in the background were her two boys running circles around the basketball court, David swinging their little guy way up in the air.  Her boys are on the go! It was refreshing, youthful,  and praiseworthy. What absolute fun this 2nd baby boy is being born into...better get his baby Nike's warmed up.

Celia you are gorgeous inside and out.  You beam.  
Thank you again Celia & David for playing & getting your photos taken at the same time.  You are a great together.  You make a great team.  Your kiddos are blessed to be in your home and under your care.  Maybe one day they will wear khaki's and polos too!
God's best over the delivery of your precious baby boy.

Love, Lindsay
