***Name That Belly***

I went to a beautiful baby shower yesterday, and there were pregnant women everywhere (I did NOT drink the water). This particular group of women have been friends for years, two of them are sisters. They are all pregnant at the same time. This is a B&W pregnancy progression, from one month to nearly due! I would love to do this again, a little more planned out. But all in all I am pleased. How special to be going through such a momentous time in your life, with GREAT girlfriends? Everyone should be so lucky. The last photo is my personal favorite. They have great expressions on their faces. I love these ladies.

.:*:.T&M's maternity session.:*:.

  I have known the mother to be for a little while now. I had never met the father to be. Speaking for myself, I had too much fun with these guys. I can't wait to meet baby Z. He doesn't stand a chance of not being a good looking little fellow, with two parents as beautiful as these guys. Mom is GORGEOUS, and looks fabulous pregnant. Beautiful belly, beautiful skin...she really pulled off some beautiful photos. **A special thanks to baby Z's Mimi, Shawn. She provided the beautiful bed with the gorgeous light :) This little boy is SO loved!

sweetness...

My girlfriend had the first of her baby showers last night, at my house. Her sweet friends were showering her and her baby girl with plenty of love.

A mini maternity shoot...

One of my very best friends is having a baby...so we decided to do a little mini maternity shoot so she had something to pick from to put on shower invitations. It was a lot of fun.

97 degrees...and they were troopers.

 I took my girlies out for the day to test out some locations. It was 97 degrees out and not one single peep out of them. Not a single "I'm hot!". During all of this, my youngest grabbed a camera and started directing the other kids at where to go, and what to do. It was precious. And then I thought, wait, she has had to learn that from somewhere. Little sponges!

A bit more wedding fun!

I can't help that Josh and Sarah can't take bad pictures. This leaves me with LOADS of images that are blog worthy. However, I have decided that I will be placing a 3 image limit. You can check out the FaceBook album for more. Okay, then 2 more images for fun...lol.

Josh and Sarah did not want to see each other before their wedding. How sweet! So we decided that since it was an evening wedding, we would get shots of them separate before and a couple after. Then do what we would have done on the wedding day, after the honeymoon. But the weather didn't cooperate for any outdoor photos. We did them all today, and I am pretty happy with the results. Thank you Josh and Sarah for being SUCH great troopers. It was HOT, but the photos were very much worth it.
