Maternity Photography in Cumberland, MD - Mary Ellen and Bobby

Mary Ellen contacted me several months ago to photograph a Lifestyle Newborn session after her baby arrives. As we talked back and forth, I ask her if she wanted to do a maternity shoot to document this amazing time in her and her husbands life. At that point , they were unsure. However, a few months later she reached out to schedule a maternity session and I am so glad she did!

I mean, just look at this radiant mamma and daddy to be! She GLOWS with love for her unborn little. Can you imagine what they’ll look like when the baby finally arrives? Tired, I’m sure! But the happiness will be tenfold what it is here.

Although the upcoming arrival will be Mary Ellen and Bobby’s first human baby, they have two fur babies who they absolutely love and adore! Meet Hops and Opie!

Mary Ellen and Bobby were amazing to work with and I know that they are going to fill their child’s life with so much love.

The little babe is due July 20th and these excited parents to be have opted out of knowing until baby arrives. They both agree (and I do to!) that it is more fun that way!

Excitingly enough, they do have names picked out for both and are happy to share them! Jude William if it’s a boy and Lennon Elizabeth if it is a girl.

I asked Scott to whisper something sweet in Mary Ellen’s ear. I am not sure what he said, but it brought tears to her eyes. Look at the love!

To announce the pregnancy to family and friends, these happy parents to be told their families at Christmas! For Bobby’s family, they have his mom an ornament that had her grandchildren on it, including “Baby Croft”, leaving everyone stunned!

And for Mary Ellen’s parents, they gifted them a book with the sonogram taped inside. Her mother received a “My Grandma lives in Florida” book and her dad received a “Grandpa Magic” book! They were so over the moon!

When asked what they’re looking forward to the most about the arrival of their little one, they said they are so excited to meet the baby, know the gender, seeing what they look like, and just learning everything about this new human.

These moments are fleeting and ever changing. Enjoy every single minute you have together because this is time you will never get back.
