Rachel&Michael- Maternity

Rachel Hartzell has become an older sister of sorts to me over the years in which I've been an honorary part of the family. She is a gracious and incredible woman, who two years ago was wed to Michael. While I don't know Michael as well, through the family events and momentous moments I've had the honor of photographing, I've gotten to know him as a caring, bold, and gregarious man who compliments Rachel very well. Recently these two brought Luther Robert, their son, into the world. But several weeks before, I managed to spend a bit of time with them in front of the camera, documenting the last stages of the pregnancy. 
Pregnant women are often told they are glowing...but Rachel truly was a radiant pregnant woman. Everything seemed to agree with her, as she breezed through this shoot, even though she was pushing 8 months of pregnancy! Enjoy:)
