On the day Kyle asked Allison to marry him, it was pouring rain in downtown Prescott, so it was only fitting that the skies should decided to “shower” them with a little extra love on the day of their maternity session too! Honestly though, the rain didn’t put the slightest damper on our time with our sweet cousin and the love of her life. They are so excited for their baby girl Riley to arrive in a few weeks – no amount of rain was going to keep them from celebrating.  In fact, it was actually pretty perfect. Things haven’t always gone according to plan for these lovebirds, but every time life has thrown them a twist they’ve just clung to each other, held on a little bit tighter and waited out the storm.  Could there be a better testament to what real love (and being a parent) is all about? I don’t think so!

One of my favorite moments during our session was while we were all standing out on the rim. It started to drizzle so we brought out the umbrella and had them both snuggle close to stay dry. As the drizzle turned into a downpour, Allison and Kyle were nothing but smiles and laughter. When we decided to take refuge in the cars for the worst of it, Kyle jumped out from under the umbrella and followed behind her to the car, making sure she was as dry and safe as possible . . . and getting completely soaked in the process. That moment was just one more confirmation that Kyle is truly the perfect man to be walking alongside our sweet “baby” cousin during this amazing adventure. We could not be more excited for these two and can’t wait to love on sweet Riley in a few short weeks! Love you guys SO much!
