Pretty Mommy

Meet my friend, Desiree.  She's funny, super stylish, energetic, and gorgeous!  And soon she's going to add "mommy" to that list.  Des is expecting her first baby next month, and she's going to be the coolest mom ever!

I love hanging out with Desiree.  She always makes me laugh and it's always a good time when she's around.  So I was super excited to do some maternity photos for her because I knew it would be a blast, and I knew I would get some great photos of her.  

Below are only a few of the pictures we took.  I'm sure you'll agree that she makes one hot momma!

Baby Boy!!

Shawna and Tommy welcomed their first child into the world a few weeks ago.   World, meet Mr. "J".   He's everything a little boy should be... perfect.  

There's something magical about new parents as they are in the presence of their new child. It's obvious Shawna and Tommy were in love... not just with each other, but with their new son.  

Isn't he just gorgeous?  

I want to give a huge shout out to Shawna's mom, Carol.  First of all, her house was gorgeous!!  I could spend hours photographing in her home because the colors and textures were wonderful.  She was such a great help and welcomed me in her home with so much warmth.  Thanks Carol!

And thank you Shawna and Tommy for inviting me to take little "J's" first photos.  Congratulations!!  He is so beautiful!

Beautiful Beata - Maternity

Beautiful.  Fun.  Energy.  Life.   

These are the things that greeted me at the door when I arrived at my maternity session last week. It was a good day after I met Beata (Bey-a-tta).  She has so many wonderful qualities!  Beata is definitely a lively spirit, and her family is just as fabulous as she is!  

Beata and her husband, Ted, are expecting a little girl in a few more weeks.  They already have an adorable little boy, "D".  There was so much love in this family!!  Loved them!

Beata said her only food craving has been chocolate.  So we did some cute photos of her, eating her favorite food!  

We were trying to get "D" to make a heart with his hands.  His father jumped in to help him out, but "D" still struggled a little.  I wasn't sure if the photos would be worth keeping, but then I thought they'd make a cute Storyboard.  This Storyboard would be 20 x 10, could be put in a frame, or mounted and ready to hang as is (I think it would look nice mounted and hung by a pretty ribbon).  Storyboards are a nice way to display a collection of photos.  

Thank you Beata and Family!!  I had so much fun hanging out with you guys!!  Enjoy the photos!
