Welsh Family Surrogacy Session | Austin, Texas

I couldn’t be happier to be sharing this beautiful family and surrogacy maternity session on my blog today.

Often times I get asked what I love most about my job. It’s sincerely hard to pin-point one particular aspect as there are so many that made me fall in love with what I do. Working with families like these are definitely one of my top reasons. Getting to tell their amazing story and capture memories for them to cherish and look back on for years to come truly makes my heart so full.

Andrea contacted me ages ago to arrange and book this session. Her husband and her have been trying to a baby for nearly five years. She was generous enough to share their journey with me to share with you all on here.

“After nearly 5 years and…
– 7 medication assisted cycles
– An empty sac pregnancy
– A tubal pregnancy
– IVF
– Hysteroscopy
– Failed FET
– Ovarian Hyper
– Stimulation requiring hospitalization
– 2 endometrial biopsies
– Being told we needed a gestational carrier for our embryos…
Our wish is finally coming true. I already knew I had the best sister, but she’s earning the sisterhood lifetime achievement award because she offered to be our carrier. Baby W is expected early December 2020. We are over the moon!”

Getting to meet Andrea, her husband Ian and her sister Amanda was an honor. I loved their chemistry with one another and the overflow of love that was so very easy to see.

Andrea and Ian deserve everything positive and incredible in this world, as does Amanda. Having a sister like Amanda who is such a gem and willing to be a carrier for them is truly a beautiful thing.

When Andrea first reached out to me, I was extremely excited to be a part of this session for them. I haven’t done a surrogacy photoshoot before but loved that I was given the opportunity. My aunt was a surrogate twice so this holds a special place in my heart. I think that surrogacy is truly such an amazing and selfless act. I love that this journey was a possibility for the Welsh family and I cannot wait for them to meet their little boy.

The bond and love between these sisters is not only sincere but beautiful. I loved having their chemistry and individual personalities shine through these images. It’s always fun getting to work with siblings as I feel that they have a special bond that is always so unique.

Ian, Andrea and Amanda, thank you so very much for hiring me to capture these memories for you all. I loved every second of working with the three of you and hope to see you all again in the future. All three of you deserve all the happiness in the world and it makes my heart so full knowing that you get to hold your baby in your arms very soon.
