How do I articulate my feelings for this session? Impossible I think. I asked lovely Melissa + Matty if they minded me sharing how special this shoot was, and they didn’t at all. You may even already be following their journey over on instagram (ivf_mummawannabe) and you’ll obviously be as thrilled for them as I am.

This beautiful bump right here is 10 years in the making. I have no doubt that it’s a heart-wrenching journey that far too many can relate to.

I first met the LOVELY, bubbly Melissa working in a kids shop years ago (as I’m sure so many of us did!). Always a huge smile, always up for a chat. I’ve been following her and Matty’s journey on insta for years since and just like everyone who knows them, I can’t tell you how happy I was to hear her say that she was finally preggers.

Our session last Thursday was a very special way to celebrate 30 weeks of this beautiful, miracle bump.

Ahhh words fail me. I’m just SO happy for you Mel + Matty and I can’t wait to see you as a perfect little family of three.

Oh and Mel… pregnancy suits you SO much girl. Absolutely GLOWING.
