Who knew that a chance 2012 meeting between then-pregnant Ziem & client Lauren in an obstetrician’s waiting room would lead to both a longstanding client relationship & a great friendship? It only seems fitting, then, that Ziem recently documented an important announcement of Lauren’s & husband Adam’s along the bun-in-the-oven lines . . .

One of Z’s favorite job perks is getting to know a family over the years as she shoots their life events. She’s been honored to participate in a number of Lauren + Adam’s family milestones, including their adorable Stella’s first birthday party.  So when Z got the top-secret news about the Baby #3, she was thrilled to be a part of the pregnancy announcement. Ziem let the ever-stylish Lauren organize the shoot, because from Stella’s glam-chic celebration to Super Man birthday parties for son, Doc, this trendy mom leaves no detail behind.

Bonus – by “stylish” and “trendy” we do mean ” little boy bow ties OMG“:

As if that bow tie weren’t enough, the rustic elegance of the Stems Design Studios setting perfectly framed this photogenic family of soon-to-be-five:

Although the game plan Ziem & Lauren had devised didn’t work out – as plans with young children tend to (always) do – it’s challenging not to get a good shot of this stunning family. Ziem is so thrilled to be a part of this big news & hopefully more celebrations to come – too soon to plan for baby #4? I mean, with a family this wonderful, they may owe the world more offspring, right? Right??? #joking #mostly
