Parlez-Vous Franglais?

I recently had the opportunity to do a maternity session for a beautiful couple. Véronique and Stephan are expecting their first baby any day now. I had never met them before, but I could tell instantly that they are going to be the most caring and loving parents. They just oozed with excitement.
Véronique and Stephan are francophone. I am not. Though French was my first language, it's been years since I've actually held a fluid conversation in French. I'm a little (well, ok, a lot) rusty with the speaking, but understanding is a breeze. Thankfully, Véronique and Stephan understand English very well. Throughout the entire session they spoke to me in French, while I spoke back in English. My High School French teacher would be so ashamed.... ;)
Anywhoo, on to the photos!

Véronique and Stephan, thank you for having me do your photos. You were great to work with. I can't wait to meet your little girl!
Merci!
