September 19 - My Newest Friend

One of my high school friends had a baby and I did some newborn and family shots for her. This is baby DJ. It was so nice to finally meet him.

(The second set of maternity pictures I did, are of this little one's mama.)

July 28 - Weathering the Weather

We waited out the rain today to finish up our maternity shoot, and we were rewarded with sunny skies and then pizza. That's a great day, right?!

July 27 - Inner Peace Is For Wusses

Have I mentioned how many things we have going on right now? It's a you-name-it kind of month. We have my brother-in-law's wedding next week. And doctor's appointments - everyone needs a checkup! And birthdays birthdays BIRTHDAYS! I don't see a break in the clouds until 2011...or is it 2012? I know I say this a lot, but how did I ever do all the things I do and WORK?! No wonder I was always tired. Heck, no wonder I'm always tired now. At least I have time for my creative outlets ... this blog with these pictures, knitting (a hat that I might be knitting until winter or next winter) and a little bit of this and that whenever the mood strikes. And for my guys...one of whom is waiting for me so we can go to bed, the other who will be waiting for me when the sun comes up. So ok, it's not ALL crazy, just most of it...

July 26 - Have a Good Summer!

Friends forever. I think we've all probably written it in a yearbook and completely believed it was true. But really, how often are you friends with someone FOREVER? When Me, Jessie and my BFF Maya graduated from high school, I was sure we would be friends forever, but much to my adult surprise ... we ARE! First came the husbands ... I got married and Jess and Maya were there. Maya got married and Me and Jess were there. When Jess got married, me and Maya sat at the table and marveled at the fact that 13 years and 3 weddings and we were still all friends. Now the babies are coming. First Owen. It appears that I'm pioneer in all this. Now Jess's baby. Hopefully Maya will add a bundle to the bunch soon enough.

So, from late nights obeying our Whoppertunities on top of the hill in "pregnant park" to taking pictures while being pregnant in a park, we've done it all ... and I'm looking forward to the next 14 years and the 14 after that and the 14 after those.

July 25 - Another Friend, Another Belly

I'm surrounded by preggos. So this is week two of the great Belly Blog. I'm editing shots from another maternity shoot - my very good friend since high school, Jessie. It was raining. And why do all husbands hate cameras?! C'mon guys, just smile! It was a challenge for sure. We will finish the "just girls" portion of the shoot when it's not pouring outside. But we captured the hubs, so he's off the hook.
