Usually, we do Tina and Andrew’s family portraits around the same time each year, February or March, so that they can see how their young family has grown and changed. This year they decided to wait a bit so Tina’s baby belly could be showing. But then, some complications had Tina on modified bed-rest, so we waited in hopes that the bed-rest would only be temporary. A few weeks ago, however, the doctor put Tina in the hospital and that’s where she’ll stay until the baby arrives. So… we did their session in a beautiful garden at the hospital.
As long as Tina keeps her adorable self parked in the wheelchair, Andrew has permission to wheel her anywhere. The kids think mom’s current mode of transportation is pretty fun.
The kids did great, despite temptingly fun and cool fountains bubbling nearby!
Last year, Braedon had a cast on his arm when we did the family’s photos. Tina considered rescheduling until after the cast came off, but then she decided that’s truly what their family looked like at that time of their lives, so we went ahead with the session as planned. This year, Tina has some colorful “bling” adorning her wrists in the form of an IV and hospital ID bracelets. But that’s what’s happening in the family this year, so it’s okay. It’s them. It’s real. 
Braedon talks to baby Garrett and pulls up mom’s shirt to give the belly a kiss. So sweet!
And seriously, could a 3-year-old look any more GQ than this?
Kaley looks for this baby everyone keeps saying is in mom’s belly! 
I could eat her up!
In addition to already being daddy and working his job, Andrew has really stepped up to do much of what mommy usually does. Way to go, Andrew! The baby is schedule to arrive just a little early, but they still have a couple of weeks to go. 
The whole family is so stinkin’ cute, I can’t wait to see what baby Garrett looks like!
Great pictures, guys! I love how it documents all that’s going on right now.
You guys are adorable! What a beautiful family! Excited to meet Garrett!
Super cute! I love that yall were able to get awesome pics despite being at the hospital. :)
They are a cute family!!
That’s actually really a beautiful setting. You got some great shots of an adorable family.
What a great session! I love real life pictures…. things that in the future will tell a story of it’s own. My youngest daughter was born 10 weeks early after I had been on bed-rest for 8 weeks. Because of all the things going on with her they did not take her newborn picture at the hospital. When she came home we went and had her pictures taken. She was on oxygen, but I remember taking her nasal cannula on and off in between pictures so we could get a “good” shot. I regret that so much now, because that was where she was in her life and that picture doesn’t tell the story… it’s false.
