Happy Thanksgiving from us to you!

This Thanksgiving, we have a lot to be grateful for, as parents, partners, and business owners. We’re watching our children grow up, with Victoria off to kindergarten, Sasha starting preschool, and Michael turning one just a few months ago. We celebrated eight years of marriage and we witnessed so many couples begin their lives together, photographing incredibly special moments along the way.

However, that’s not all we’re grateful for…

This upcoming April, we’ll be welcoming a new addition to our family! We’re so excited to tell you all that we’re expecting our fourth child and we couldn’t wait to share the news! Soon, Prudente Party of 6 (and Oliver) will be the new normal, which is beyond amazing to us.

Of course, as soon as we told Victoria, Sasha, and Michael about their new sibling, they had some name suggestions….

• Marlick
• Farty
• Ryan
• Marty

Let us know which name you think we should go with! Our kids definitely have some unique ideas. We’re sure this list will only grow over time, so stay tuned.

As business owners and parents, it’s often a difficult balance to manage. The late nights, long days, and all the unexpected hurdles along the way can be exhausting, but it’s in those moments that we remember we’re living out our dream. Our photography business is thriving. Never in our wildest imaginations did we think Prudente Photography would become what is has, yet with your support we’ve been able to achieve so much as creators and entrepreneurs.

And our family, full of messy breakfasts and chaotic bath times is simultaneously full of joy and laughter in abundance. We’ve always known that we wanted a large family and this pregnancy is just part of our family story. There are so many more adventures to come and we can’t wait to meet our little one so they too can join in on the messy, but delicious breakfasts, bubble bath parties, and everything in between!

As today is all about giving thanks, we just wanted to thank you all for following us along our journey, as both parents and photographers. Our dream is becoming our reality and even all the imperfect parts of this dream are absolutely perfect to us.

So, Happy Thanksgiving from us to you! We hope you have a wonderful holiday celebrating with family and friends wherever you are.
