Jamie and Brian Manella were two of the sweetest souls I have had the pleasure of meeting. They have been together for many many years, and decided that it was time to expand their family. As a Tampa maternity photographer, it is always a blessing to work with such kind and caring people as the Manella’s. Not to mention, these two have such an inspirational story that has brought them even closer than before.

Jamie and Brian were ready to have children, but tried several years to conceive, with no success. As a mother, I cannot even imagine the pain that would come along with what these two went through. I think every mama has thoughts such as “What if I can’t get pregnant?” But most of us don’t worry for too long, because eventually it happens. Jamie wasn’t so lucky, and I know that it was a very painful process for her and Brian. After several years of trying, The Manella’s got some amazing news. They found out that they were pregnant with not one, but two precious baby boys. These babies were truly the miracle that Jamie and Brian were yearning for.

I am so honored to be Jamie and Brian’s maternity photographer. There is nothing sweeter than being able to capture a true miracle for a much deserving family. We decided to have an outdoor session, and it could not have turned out any more beautiful. The lighting was just perfect, with stunning sun rays that showered over Jamie the entire time. She wore a flowy gray dress that totally showed off her precious baby bump. Brian joined in on the session too, and I loved being able to see the wonderful connection these two shared. It is obvious that they are super ecstatic to be parents, and I am so happy for them! They went ahead and booked a newborn session with me, which I will be sharing soon! Be on the lookout for Jamie and Brian’s sweet boys!

How lucky am I to have been blessed to be the Manella’s Tampa Sunset Maternity Photographer! Their story is simply heart touching. Congrats you two.
