What an amazing journey these two have had. Andrea and Cody were caught by surprise when they found out that they were expecting their little bundle of joy, and it has been so inspiring to watch their lives transform. We photographed Andrea and Cody back around the time when they had just found out that they were pregnant and it’s been really fun to see their lives change, unfold, and grow as they prepared for their little baby girl!
Andrea and Cody are very good friends of ours who we’ve known for a very long time. Andrea and I met back when Jason and I had just gotten married and way before she even knew Cody! It’s been quite a journey as friends together, there for one another through many life changes and still going strong. Andrea and Cody now live down the street from us and while life doesn’t let us see them as often as we’d like, they are a huge part of our lives and we are forever grateful for them.
And arriving before I could even post their maternity pictures, their little girl decided to grace us with her presence three weeks early! Sweet Linnea Joelle Alley was born on December 23rd at 3:50 am. And what a beauty! Andrea and Cody so graciously allowed me to photograph their birth, so I will be posting those pictures very, very soon. Linnea is truly beautiful and made it right in time for Christmas! What a gift!
Those pictures are coming soon, but for now here are our dear friends Andrea and Cody ‘pre-Linnea’….
