You are going to fall in love with this little girl. She has the cutest little features and her personality matches it perfectly! I’m not surprised since her mommy is one of the most beautiful people I know both inside and out. We’ve been great friends since high school, and I was so excited to capture some portraits of her family while we played and played and played and played. I took WAY too many pictures, but I couldn’t help myself! So without further ado, I now invite you to fall in love with this little sweetheart…
I’m in a newborn mood! (Convenient that I’ll be having one soon, huh?) This sweet-as-can-be baby was the most wide awake yet completely content and happy 8-day-old newborn I’ve ever seen! I’m not surprised because his big brother was oozing sweetness through his VERY shy facade. We just got cute picture after cute picture of this little guy while we waited for him to zonk out. I had such a hard time narrowing the pictures down to post, that’s why you’ll see a bunch. This first one cracks me up! You think he didn’t want me to take his picture?! I love it when babies make this face.
These dear friends asked me if I would shoot a few portraits to celebrate their upcoming 40th anniversary. I was very excited to do this for them because I knew they’d be fun! He had talked of how special the many letters were that he and his wife wrote each other during a yearlong absence from each other before they were married. I asked them if they’d be willing to include them in the shoot, and they were up for it! As a matter of fact, they ended up reading ALL of them again beforehand (which made them extra LOVEY for the camera, I’m sure 
). Happy Anniversary, you two!
With only a slight chance of showers, I pulled into the Sar Ko Par Park parking lot for this photo shoot and it started to rain. We waited for 15 minutes or so, and finally, this family just got out of their car–daring the rain to stop…and it DID! We went on to have a very nice shoot with these adorable twin boys and their big sister. I had not seen them since their newborn shoot. Oh, what a difference a year makes!
So, yes, I’m getting big! I thought it would be fun to post some maternity pictures of me. I’m used to being behind the camera, so it feels sorta weird… Thanks to my husband for helping me take these shots tonight! I’m 31 weeks along now, and it’s sinking in that we’re getting close to being able to hold our new little one! I’m ready
Now that you see how HUGE I really am, you’ll understand when I say that I’m now entering my maternity leave for this little one. Sessions are getting hard–especially kid sessions when I attempt to get down on their level and chase them around–not so gracefully, I might add. For those of you that are already booked…don’t worry…you’re in. I also want to enjoy this summer with my TWO kids before the number jumps to THREE! I’ll be taking it slow through the end of the year as well with prioroity given to prior clients with “milestone” shoots. I’ve got several sessions to blog about still, and I’ve got some ideas for other posts. So, hopefully, you can still get your “Life in the Light” blog fix through this time…HA! Oh, and you bet I’ll have some of our sure-to-be sweet little one this fall!
