Waiting patiently

I'm really behind in posting some of the photoshoots I've done lately, but I'm working on getting caught up.

Meet my beautiful friend Emily.

We took these pictures before my family vacation to Seattle.

I was sure she was going to have a baby while I was gone, but that cute little baby waited for me.

He was born 2 days after I got home (2 1/2 weeks after we took these pictures).

I'll post his newborn pictures tomorrow.

For now here are a few more from Emily's maternity session....

See what I mean?

Beautiful!

Derek & Stephanie {maternity pictures}

I have been anticipating the day my brother and his wife would give me a neice or nephew to love on for a long time. And I'm soooo excited that the day that will finally happen is just around the corner.
I always knew that Stephanie would wear pregnancy in a beautiful way.
And does she ever.



I'm so excited that I got the opportunity to take some maternity pictures too!!!



If you live in Orange County, Fashion Island was a pretty fun place to take some pictures while we waited to be seated for dinner.



And it just wouldn't be right if I didn't include one that tells you about my brother's personality... he was always the fun one!



Derek & Stephanie - I'm so excited for you!
I can't wait to meet little Holly Jo

In full bloom

Well, here is the rest of the maternity shoot as promised.
We got these pictures only a week before the beautiful baby was born.
(Those pictures are still coming)

Maternity and Newborn sneak peek

When I was asked to take these pictures for my friend I was thrilled.
We took lots of fun pictures outside and I LOVE the way the newborn pictures came out,
but I LOVE even more that when I said, "I want to try...", she said, "Let's do it!"
These are my "I want to try" images
(the regular maternity and newborn shoots are coming next week)
