Jodi and Jay are a former B&G on here. When they got married, Jay was very sick. So sick, as in stage 4 liver cirrhosis (liver failure), his

future was uncertain. He went on the organ list waiting for a donation at the beginning of 2012. Then last year on April 17, he got the call

that he had a new guardian angel and a 2nd chance at life! The next morning he was in surgery at IU while most of the westside prayed

for him and jodi. Now, they are expecting a baby boy this fall! Jodi wanted to celebrate his one year anniversary with a quick session

showing off both their perfect bellies. How cool!

In Jodi’s words, “To this day no words can describe the gratitude and love we have for our guardian angel/organ donor and their family. There is no way we will e.v.e.r. be able to repay them. The best we can do is to celebrate and rejoice for their beautiful life and especially their amazing gifts they left behind for Jay and so many others.”

I enjoy that her laugh completely takes away the belly! The baby is all, “Mom quit laughing! I have little room as it is in here!”

 Congrats on both “new lives” guys!! Heart, Melanie.

Ps. Jay was the realtor who brought our buyers to my house. He rocks at his job.

I’ve been hibernating and don’t hate me, but I’m kinda enjoying it.  We’ve been working countless hours to prepare our house to sell and

my camera equipment has been weeping in the corner of my office. So we came out in the cold over the weekend to shoot this lovely

couple who is expecting their first baby (girl) in just ten more weeks. I was so happy to be in the groove again, especially since these

two were so photogenic! You’d never even know it was in the 30′s!

When a client wants city and color, Findlay Market is the perfect location.

Being cute and cuddly was clearly their downfall. Geesh, show a little excitement, will ya?

In my opinion, there is nothing more gorgeous than an expecting mama.

Glowing. Absolutely glowing.

Gael’s job relocates them often. (BTW-He’s French and she’s Mexican, both trilingual. Impressive. Some wouldn’t even consider me

fluent in English!) They wanted to commemorate this special time here with one of our famous bridges. Great idea!

Sessions are becoming regular again soon. Thanks for hanging around on the edge of your seat during this lull.

Heart, Melanie and Adam.
