counting down

i am very excited to share my sister's maternity shoot with you.   i did a super quick mini shoot with her last month you can see here.   with her due date quickly approaching she is counting down the days until sweet lucy arrives.   katie's a natural in the front of the camera which made my job easy.  in about eight weeks i will have a new baby niece to hold and i am over the moon.  it has been a blessing to be here for katie's pregnancy this time.   it is such a fun phase of life right now to share as our two year old girls have become the best of buddies lately.     after living all of our adult lives apart, it is quite special to have this time..

a mid-summer baby is on the way

i took these this week as part of a project for the finding the light workshop and wanted to share them.   my sister is due mid summer with a new baby girl and we are all excited. it has been such fun seeing her daily and the changes her body makes as little lucy gets bigger and bigger.  she's really just glowing.  i can't wait to do a full session with her which will include her two year old and her hubby.

almost 1 and almost due...

this weekend i was delighted to spend the afternoon with this family.   this sweet little girl is turning 1 this month and they are expecting a baby brother in April.   what fun they are going to have with these two.  both mama and daddy are doctors so i am most certain it already makes for a very busy family.   chris and i grew up together and were the best of friends all through high school.   it was so wonderful to see him and his growing family and get to catch up on the years that have passed.   i loved seeing them all interact and can't wait to see them again with baby number two.  i wish you guys all the best and hope you enjoy a peak into our afternoon...

glowing

this weekend i got to photograph one glowing pregnant mama!!!  i only wish i could have looked as radiant as my friend holly does at 7 months pregnant.  wow!   holly and i have enjoyed such a special friendship the past 7 months.  our husbands deployed to the middle east days apart and from there we have spent countless hours together.  i will always look back on this time and remember so fondly the days we spent with this sweet family.   our friendship is one i will cherish forever.   holly found out she was pregnant shortly after her husband deployed--making this such a special surprise for both her and her husband.  he will be returning very shortly and i know he will be so taken with his beautiful wife's growing belly!  i hope you enjoy this little peak of this mama to be....

 one beautiful pregnant mama!

 this was my personal favorite of the day...love this sweet moment of holly and her babies!
