Unicorns & Cosmo?

It’s a little strange but a little cool that this unicorn themed maternity session has been shared on Cosmo {among other places!}. In fact it blew my mind!! Thus, when I sent this styled shoot to PopSugar for possible publication, I was thinking how fun it would be to on their site–it’s a fun, bright site that I go to for inspiration and light-hearted stories. And they accepted it! Which was amazing all in itself, but it caught the attention of RedBook, Cosmo and Yahoo and was shared in a whole bunch of different places. I feel everyone fell in love the story behind these images, plus unicorn themes are kind of awesome.

The Story

Emma and Spencer not only had challenges in conceiving {Emma has polycystic ovary syndrome}, but conceiving a girl was also a surprise. Spencer’s side of the family hasn’t had a girl in three generations. Their friend Staci {who is also a good friend of mine} wanted to celebrate this unique daughter, and threw herself into designing this session. Both Emma and Spencer are fun-loving and enjoyed the idea of having the session unicorn-themed. So embracing how unique their daughter Penelope was, a purple unicorn session was designed!

For those interested, Penelope was born healthy and happy, and the family is settling in nicely!
