This Thanksgiving, while we’re all busy stuffing our faces with turkey and pie, there’s an extra special reason to celebrate: Sophie and Althea are about to become parents to a beautiful baby girl! I first met these fabulous ladies during their gorgeous Mission Bay wedding in 2021, where their love story unfolded like a fairytale. Now, they’re adding a new chapter to their adventure, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be along for the ride!
Recently, we had the absolute pleasure of capturing their “bun in the oven” shoot at the stunning Japanese Friendship Garden. Let me tell you, they looked nothing short of radiant! Surrounded by lush greenery and serene koi ponds, Sophie and Althea truly lit up the scene with their vibrant energy and stylish flair. And because Althea is a huge Phillies fan, we just had to incorporate some team spirit! With adorable jerseys included, baby is set to be immersed in baseball fandom from day one!
As we gear up for our upcoming Thanksgiving shoot, I can already imagine the cozy vibes and laughter that will fill the air. Who knew that a “bun in the oven” could also mean a sprinkle of chaos and a dash of joy? These two are ready to embrace parenthood with all the quirky charm they have, and I can’t wait to capture those candid moments that showcase their unique love and excitement.
So, as we gather around our Thanksgiving tables this year, let’s raise a glass (of apple cider, of course!) to new beginnings and the sweet journey that lies ahead for Sophie and Althea. Get ready for a shoot filled with love, laughter, and definitely lots of gorgeousness.
