Expecting Triplets // Orange County Maternity Photographer

June 08, 2015 by Megan Hartley in Families, Film, Maternity

Orange County Maternity Photographer Megan Hartley Photography 0001 This beautiful couple and their three precious babies (yes, there are three babies in that bump!) are a testimony to God's grace and faithfulness. Desiree and Ryan have waited so long and prayed so hard for these precious little ones. Desiree writes eloquently of their journey through infertility on her blog - Our Journey to Parenthood. Her grace, honesty, and faith are so beautiful and these three babies are so incredibly blessed to have Ryan and Des for their parents. Plus, they are some of the best secret keepers out there! They told their family they were having twins and didn't tell them that they were having TRIPLETS until their gender reveal party!!! Is that the greatest surprise ever or what? I have no idea how they kept the secret, but you can watch the video of their reveal here - Triplet Gender Reveal. Seriously, watch it. It will make you cry sweet tears of happiness!

I am so thankful to have had the chance to meet Des and Ryan, capture photos of this memorable time in their lives, and I hope you'll join me in praying for the remainder of this beautiful pregnancy! I can't wait to meet these darling babes who are already so very loved.

Expecting Sydney

June 15, 2014 by Megan Hartley in Maternity, Romance

Two of my favorite people in the world are about to have a baby girl named Sydney. Watching as my dear friends prepare for parenthood and become parents is such a joy for me at this current stage of my life. I can just envision the love explosion coming their way and it is so thrilling! Sydney is already so loved, so cherished, and has so many people excited to welcome her any day now! These photos were taken when Kristina was 32 weeks pregnant and I can scarcely imagine a more gorgeous pregnant Mama.

Expecting Savannah

I've known Travis since we were 10 years old. He is one of the funniest and most genuine people I've ever met and his darling wife, Kyrsten, is as sweet as she is brilliant and beautiful. Their daughter is destined to be kind, intelligent, gorgeous, and hilarious and I cannot wait to meet her in July! ktblog00001 ktblog00002 ktblog00003 ktblog00004 ktblog00005 ktblog00006 ktblog00008 ktblog00007 ktblog00009 ktblog00010 ktblog00011 ktblog00012 ktblog00013 ktblog00014 ktblog00015 ktblog00016 ktblog00017 ktblog00018

Expecting Paige

Watching dear friends become parents is one of my favorite things in life. And watching as Mike and Heather have prepared for parenthood has been an extra special treat! Taking photos both in their home and at a local park was such a fun way to capture their last weeks as a two-some. Paige, you are so very loved and your Mom and Dad are the best. Feel free to come anytime - we are so excited to meet you, precious girl!

Expecting Arlo

January 21, 2014 by Megan Hartley in Families, Maternity, Romance

Arlo is quite possibly one of the most blessed babies on the planet to have Mark and Beca as his parents. They are as kind as they are beautiful - gentle, thoughtful, and such an incredible team. I adore them and can't wait to meet their greatest collaboration yet in just a few weeks!
