YOUR STORIES

AN EDITORIAL PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT SESSION

filed in:

A pregnancy announcement that feels like home.

I met up with Rubi and Nicholas at the park last week, refreshed and ready to document the start of a new chapter, a new life. Little did I know how absolutely breathtaking this session would be!

It was a day in between storms, making the lighting so moody, soft, and dreamy- the perfect atmosphere for R+N’s editorial taste! We kept the posing simple and minimal, leaning into inspiration Rubi had put together previously, making sure that it all felt like them.

I spend a lot of my time reminiscing on the best memories, ready to create more. My hope is that my work creates that sense of nostalgia for you. The kind of feeling you wanna relive over and over again- front of the fridge, living room wall worthy.

I love madly in details. 

I love the smell of vanilla candles and the air when it’s crisp just before a fall rainstorm. I love the way that the sky turns all sorts of orange and pink when the sun’s going down. I’ll spend an hour at the store just to make sure I find you the perfect birthday card, and then I’ll probably end up buying two anyways. I’m fascinated by how the waves in the ocean are never ending and if you were to ask what inspires me, I’d say storytelling in all of its many different art forms.

Inspired by sunsets, nostalgia, the stories that make up antique stores, and most of all 

you.

HEY, I'M KAITLIN
