Visiting Lake Michigan, for the first time, the Giger family followed the tornado producing storm up from Saint Louise, MO, last weekend. The weather cleared up just before they pulled in and they’ve been enjoying the lake shore ever since. They set up a family session with me, a month or so ago, to capture this time in their life at this beautiful location.
Thanks again Giger family for contacting me!
Such a cute little kiddo at such a fun age in her life. She probably changes her outfit five times a day. First thing this morning, today, she insisted on painting.
Dress: DI thrift shop find ~ Old Navy $3
Smock: Handmade gift from Grandma (for older sisters, years ago)
Slippers: Knit by mom. Mock-a-sock pattern (modified)
blue eyes: Daddy
Minion tattoo on neck: …also daddy :I
She’s also sporting “big girl panties,” which she has kept dry all through the night, last night, and into today. Yay!
Last year, I met Jaci when my daughter was raising funds and making loom bracelets for her up coming trip to Africa. She lives down the road from me, and our paths have crossed a few times since then. When Jaci showed up eight months pregnant at one of my recent garage sales (we’ve been selling everything we own since last September to fit our family of seven on a converted GM bus), we started talking about her pregnancy and home births and midwifery in the UT legislation. I home birthed my last 2/5 babies and Jaci will be doing the same. We excitedly agreed that I would capture her upcoming home birth, since this would be her last and she only regrets from the last ones, not having a photographer.
Jaci’s baby is due to arrive in 3 short weeks on April 27th. Although, only 5% of babies arrive on their given due date… we’re still marking the date.
This beautiful mama and her family are saving the surprise of the baby’s gender until he/she arrives in their arms. Will they have 1 boy and 4 girls, or 2 boys and 3 girls? Stay tuned to find out!
After an ultrasound, Thursday morning two days passed her due date, this baby appeared to be on the “big” side of the scales. With support from their doctor, Stacey and Kyle elected to take action and have a C-section.

I wasn’t too sure how the weather was going to hold up, today. After a text to Stacey, asking if she’d prefer to change today’s session, she assured me that today was on.
Kyle is leaving on Thursday, for a three week air force duty and time is flying by.
Today, it is!
The wind died down and the snow drifted perfectly for Stacey’s maternity session.
Stacey and Kyle are looking forward to welcoming their little squishy baby girl into this world at the end of March. Zane cannot wait to be her big brother. They are all very excited!
