Tiny.

I got the call that a Mommy I'd done maternity photos for had given birth. The little one was brought safely into this world four weeks early and was home and healthy. I was so excited to meet her. Mom was very excited to dress the little princess up in frilly tutus and headbands, and I was excited to get my hands on a baby so small - just under five pounds! To put it into perspective, the baseball she's pictured with below is regulation size and the hat is a child sized hat on loan from big brother, age 2.

Close.

I really need to stay away from the water. I am doing two or three maternity sessions every week and I'm really beginning to think it's contagious. In all seriousness, I love maternity sessions. Pregnant women are so pretty and being pregnant sets this time of their life apart from any other. Even if they are mommies of multiple children, every pregnancy is different and special.

This sweet family met with me just about a week before their little guy was due to arrive, and mom, dad, and big sister were just bursting with excitement! I can't wait to meet the sweet prince for his newborn session.

Anxious

I exchanged emails with a mommy-to-be-again for a few weeks regarding her maternity session. Over the course of those few weeks, pregnancy reared it's (sometimes) ugly head and we had to reschedule a couple times. I was so thrilled to finally get to meet this beautiful family. They were scheduled to have their baby girl one week from the day we did this session - Mom, Dad and Big Brother were all very anxious and excited!

Two!

I can't image having another baby right now. Some days I can barely keep up with the demands of ONE, nonetheless two. We probably will, eventually but for now, I have to just admire in awe at my friends who are making it work with two kids... or with one kid, and one in the oven.

Such was the case with this beautiful mommy-to-be-again. With a 15 month old at home, the arrival of baby number two in October is definitely keeping her on her toes. She doesn't think she's going to make it to October, however, so she wanted to get her maternity session in NOW. I can't say I blame her because now that I've seen her, I don't think she's going to make it to October, either. I guess we'll see!

Twins!

Several months ago I did some photos with a really sweet family with twin babies. Well they aren't babies anymore; in fact, they just turned one! I was so glad they got in touch with me again to do their birthday portraits. They are such sweet kids - and a pleasure to work with.

Serendipity.

I did an engagement session yesterday for a bride and groom who hired me to do their March 2013 wedding. When I met with them to sign their contract, we talked for the better part of two hours about how they met, and ended up starting a long-distance relationship, and how it all just fell into place for them. I could just hear, in every word they spoke, how much they loved each other, and the more I learned about their story, I could just see how God moved in their lives to bring them to where they are now, and where they are now is a GREAT place.

I am so excited to be a part of their big day, and to see more of them as their family grows.

Finally.

My daughter was a surprise. There was no doubt that we wanted her, we just weren't trying for her when she came into our lives. Some friends of ours, on the other hand, had been trying for years to have a little one of their own and it just wasn't happening. I knew that in the good Lord's timing, it would, and sure enough, it did, and this month they will finally welcome their son into their home. I can't wait to meet him, even if it does mean a 3 hour drive. It's worth every second.

I made the drive one day to do her maternity photos. I love working with pregnant women who appreciate their beauty. At no other time in life is a woman so radiant than when she's pregnant, and after all they went through to get here, her happiness shows in every image.
