Leeanne and Noble met on a dance floor in Milton Keynes 13 years ago to the sound of Sean Paul.

Their eyes locked and Noble knew that Leeanne was the most attractive person he’d ever met.

Happily, the feeling was mutual.

Now they are incredibly excited to meet their second child together – a boy – who was due just a few weeks after the couple’s maternity photoshoot with me.

They already have a girl together, three-year-old Nevaeh.

Her name is ‘heaven’ spelt backwards, and she’s looking forward to meeting the baby inside mummy’s tummy.

To help prepare her, Leanne and Noble have been talking to her about what will happen, as well as things she can get involved in helping with, like changing nappies.

Nevaeh arrived very early, so Leeanne and Noble are hoping this baby stays put until nearer his due date. 

In the meantime are hoping they a avoid a birth similar to one their friend experienced, during which baby arrived en route to the hospital!

Indeed, Leeanne had a few Braxton Hicks interactions on the day of the couple’s maternity photoshoot with me.

Luckily, baby stayed put so we were able to create a stunning series of images to show the couple’s anticipation and excitement about their imminent new arrival.

And whatever happens – and whenever baby arrives – I’m confident that this capable couple can handle it all.

They share such a clear, strong bond, and the attraction that started all those years ago on the Milton Keynes dance floor is still there, but is now accompanied by a deep, real and lasting love.
