PORTRAITS // Sterling, Virginia Maternity Portraits: Limos Family

June 4, 2017 Ica Remo

Happiest Birthday to my one & only big sis, Ate Joan. (Ate means older sister in Tagalog)

Yesterday I cried while taking your maternity portraits for so many reasons. Because words are failing to come out eloquently, I'm just going to list all of the reasons why I cried, below.


- I cried because you are so gosh darn beautiful pregnant.
- I cried because after watching your heart break during your miscarriage last year,
I wanted nothing more than for you to be a mom to yet another beautiful baby.
- I cried because you overcame the heartache & you and Terrence now have your rainbow baby.
- I cried because, though we never got to meet baby Limos #3,
you loved baby #3 fully & wholeheartedly because that's what you do.
You love big.
Just as baby Limos #4 is already so completely loved.
- I cried because even through your miscarriage your faith still never wavered &
your trust in the Lord remained steadfast.
- I cried because I can't wait to find out baby's gender & celebrate
whatever name you guys choose when you stare at his or her beautiful face.
- I cried because you've been so incredibly strong despite having the hardest pregnancy
- I cried because you make THE BEST humans, they are always my favorites
- I cried because I just want to kiss & hug your newest baby already!!!
- I cried because you make me so proud.
- I cried because I've never prayed harder for you than the past 9 months.
- I cried because you are every bit the amazing mom I always knew you would be
- I cried because I love you so much & just saying the words doesn't fully do it justice.

Thank you for shooting through your contractions yesterday,
but most importantly
thank you for making me an Auntie to your incredible children.

Happy Birthday, Sissy!!!!!

* That was a contraction right there! Sissy is due on June 28th but this baby is coming early, we all know it. If you think of her, could I ask you to lift up some prayers over my sister & the baby, this month? Baby may still be breached & it's a bit early for his or her arrival, but we are still so excited & ready to meet this beautiful baby already! Thank you so much for your prayers.

Most days I feel amazing & each day I’m moving forward // But then there are still a few days that take me by surprise & it feels like my recovery takes a small step backwards (If you are new here: I had 3 lung collapses + surgery back in Feb/Mar) // The past two mornings started off really strong (I even spent this morning at Chic-fil-a thoroughly entertained by the bingo game going on, as I cranked out emails) but somewhere in the middle of typing, pain hit me like a brick thrown at my side // Now I’m back in bed, jammies on, medicine taken & waiting to be strong enough to get back to my work // I don’t share this for pity (but I could use some prayers), I share this because someone out there might need encouraging words // Friend, recovery takes time. If you’re like me you want to sprint back to your normal life at top speed & make up for lost time // But it’s ok to slow down & give yourself grace & let healing take the time it needs. // Whatever it is you are recovering from or currently walking through, that might be impeding on you normal life, know that it’s just a season & seasons change // Keep moving forward ... it gets better one step at a time
The grass is always greener on the other side ... of failure, IF you get up & try, try again // #icaimages
One of the prettiest palettes I’ve seen // Every dress compliments the next & I’m still not over these dresses, especially the bride, @clairestrayer’s @bhldn dress with those bell sleeves 💕// #icaimages #mossandmrs
As many details as there are on a wedding day one of my favorites are the wedding bands // You can tell a lot about a couples style & personality if you look close enough // Sometimes you can see it in the engraved words on the inside of the band, the matchy-ness or none matchy-ness of the two bands, some times you can tell someone’s style by the simplicity of the design or the delicate features // Whenever I’m handed over the rings to take photos of them on a wedding day, I look for these little sprinkles of personality in the tiniest of details // #icaimages
Baby boy is making that face you get right before hungry turns to hangry 🤣 // This fun family is up on the blog today & I finished posting their portraits just in time for my lunch break (Not going to lie I’m on the verge of hangry over here 😉) // #icaimages
I’ve got nothing particularly witty or charming to say this morning because the coffee hasn’t kicked in & the weekend is catching up to me, but I’m awake & functioning & already on that Monday morning grind // Happy Monday, friends // #icaimages

PORTRAITS // Wilmington, North Carolina Maternity Portraits: Reinna

We have lived on opposite coasts for all of our lives, but times they are a changin'!
My California bestie, Reinna is now living on the East Coast a few states south of me & she's very pregnant.

The last time we saw each other was so early on in her pregnancy that I didn't get to see her beautiful baby bump in all it's glory. So this month my family & I took a trip down to see her and Christian, her husband.
Here are some photos of Rein & her 3rd trimester bump on the streets of downtown Wilmington &  Wrightsville beach. 

Rein, I love you, Chris and that baby boy growing inside you, so much!

STYLED SHOOT // Southern Maryland Bakery: Sprinkle with Kindness

Can I take a second to talk about this fabulous cake? 
The tropical hand painted layer, a subtle hint of pink & the gold geometric lines,
this is the brain child of cake-maker & artist, Rachel of Sprinkle with Kindness.

Inspired by tropical greens, ballet blush & a dash of gold, Rachel & I teamed up for the sweetest collaboration to celebrate the relaunch of her bakery, Sprinkle with kindness.

Rachel is an out-of-the-box thinker/baker, who's original designs take my breath away.
Ever see a square macrame inspired cake? Keep on scrolling to see all of Rachel's baked goods! Wedding cakes, party cakes, cupcakes, cookies, you name it ... she can bake it!

SENIOR PORTRAITS // 50% OFF SUMMER SALE - LIMITED AVAILABILITY

THIS was my best senior portrait. My slightly-cubby-teenage cheeks, a standard set of fake pearls, this weirdly- centered composition in a sterile & boring studio setup, & finally a zero-personality-fake-smile - yep this my BEST shot.
