Two cute bellies!

Yesterday I got the chance to shoot what few photographers have had the chance to shoot - two sister's maternity photos! Emily Edwards, a wedding consultant that I love working with, and her sister, Jenny, are both due with their first child at the end of March -- only 5 days apart!! Emily is having a girl and Jenny is having a boy. It's hard to imagine anything cuter than that.

We had a lot of fun shooting at Emily's house and at a nearby park. Both Jenny and Emily were gorgeous and glowing:


Emily has stricking eyes -- check out this model shot :):


I had a lot of fun with the double-belly shots:



Both Emily and Jenny's husbands also got involved in the fun. Here's some of my favorites of Jenny and Tim. Tim was a goof-ball and made Jenny laugh a lot:





And here's some favorites of Emily and Brian - gorgeous!:




Finally we had to shoot some portraits of all four of the cute, expecting parents:



My favorite:



Thanks guys for this opportunity! I'm SO excited for you and can't wait to hear the news in March!

Haines & Michelle's Maternity Photos

Tonight I spent some time with my friends Haines and Michelle and shot their maternity photos! It was exciting for a number of reasons. For starters, this was my first ever maternity shoot so it was fun to shoot friends. Also, Michelle is a talented photographer who assisted me for over a year while she started up her own business and she was SO excited to do this shoot. She was giddy and so cute the whole time. Michelle is such a great person and always good for entertainment value--I always have a smile on my face around her. Haines is great as well. It's amazing how well they fit together. They're one of those "made for each other couples." Anyhow, they are expecting their first child in February. It's a boy! And his name will be Tate. It will be fun to meet him soon. ANYHOW...I'll stop talking now and share some of my favorite shots from tonight.

We started out in Haines and Michelle's home:



I can't believe what a beautiful pregnant woman Michelle is. She is glowing:


We then drove down to Freestone Park, one of my favorite spots for portraits, and had some fun shooting there. Although the grass is kinda dead, it was such a beautiful night and we got some great shots.








Thanks for dinner guys! I'm so glad you're in my life!
