Maternity pictures were really just a good chance for me to travel to catch up with some old friends before their first little blessing arrives in a couple of months.

First some pictures of the family-in-waiting:

Some belly shots:

I can’t wait for word of this little girl’s arrival—she will be blessed with the most doting and loving parents a little one could ask for!

Thanks for the opportunity to see you and to capture this special time in your lives!

I always look forward to editing my images.  It’s fun for me to play around with different looks.  I recently found a fun set of actions in Photoshop that made these images more unique. I like the aged look that I can get with some of these.  (And it was kind of fun to go through and find some of my older pictures to play around with!)

 

 

 

 

My dear friend makes the most beautiful pregnant woman and so it was a privilege to take maternity pictures for her third pregnancy.  Best wishes, girl!  Any day now, right?

    

Who wouldn’t want another girl if they’re this cute?!

This is what little girls do while Mommy is modeling for the lady with the camera.

I love the above picture because it is a bit atypical for a maternity picture, but it is SUCH a perfect shot of my beautiful friend.  She’s about ready to welcome girl #3–can you believe it?  She looks fabulous!  More pictures to come!
