What is that old saying? First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a complete home remodel, then the cutest little beagle named Lucy, then a belly bump, and then...? It was just a month before our wedding four years ago that Jen and Troy got married. And then it was just a few months later that we found ourselves in the same young married's bible study, both newly married, both excited for what this new life would bring. Over these past four years, we've gotten to know and watch our friends change and move through life together. We've watched them through remodeling their first home into their dream space - complete with their very own white picket fence - and filling it with their love, their little beagle Lucy, and now a brand new nursery for their little boy-on-the-way Brady. And through it all, they've remained that same newlywed, head-over-heels-in-love, cute as a button, and fun-loving couple that we met four years ago. Troy still holds Jen like he just found the most beautiful treasure in the world, and Jen still leans into Troy like she's holding onto her rock, her foundation. They still hold each other, and even if that picket fence fell down and everything around them was swept away, they would still be just as happy, holding each other for the rest of their lives.
With Jeff and I around, Jen and Troy had no chance of having Brady without some pictures, so we met up for a quick session and started in the completely adorable nursery.
I love little baby shoes.
And the sea turtle theme was so cute!
Their house was just too cute to pass up, so we began with Lucy the Beagle and some family portraits. I think Lucy is giving me the stink-eye! Ha!
Then we got our cuddle on!
These two are simply adorable. I love Troy's little kisses.
Oh Lucy. Her nose and tail show up in the most random places...
I heart this one.
And this one too. Can I look half as good as Jen when I'm pregnant? This girl looks GOOD.
These next ones are my favorite - love them!
Love, love, love!
Ha! Lucy totally cracks me up!
Is someone jealous??
Ok, daddy will pick you up and give you some cuddle love.
After photographing the front of the house, we headed inside for a little snuggly-time.
Then we made a quick outfit change and headed down to the beach where these two love to hang out together.
Jen, you are so gorgeous!
I love that Jen can still totally work it!
Warm, creamy, lovely, and beautiful - I just love this series.
Troy and Jen: You guys have been the most amazing people over the years and we are so blessed by your friendship! Stay your cute, adorable selves and we can't wait to meet Brady soon!
Hugs,
Erin

Tricia - Hi!
Thank you for sharing your photos. I really enjoyed them. I was wondering if the 4 pieces in Brady’s room were handpainted by mom or dad or if they were purchased. If they were purchased, do you know from where they were bought?
Thanks,
Tricia
