Life’s big surprises sometimes come in lovely little packages. Such is the coming of our new, little baby girl that completes our family’s dream. What was once just a whisper of prayer, is now an embrace of God we have truly felt within our family.

This spur-of-the-moment shoot was actually done just three days before my wife gave birth. As we anticipate Jana’s birth with these photos, we celebrate that fleeting precious time being just a small family of three. And no less, I honor in photographs, my wife’s profound milestones — being a wonderful, bonafide mom, and the being the most beautiful pregnant woman I’ve known (and have the sheer luck of being married to!).

Much love and huge thanks to my brothers John Lucas Reyes and Paulo Magsaysay, and our very good friend Aira Franco for all the last minute help in making this such a memorable time.
