————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

The one time I was pregnant, I was no good at it. I was sick from beginning to end, to the point where my doctor threatened, yes, threatened, to hospitalize me. I was sick during delivery and after…for three YEARS. And I STILL gained 45 pounds…seriously.

Which is why when my friends, Shannon and Mike asked me to do a maternity session, I warned them. I warned them about how bad I was with cute pregnant bellies, babies and anything that had to do with the “M” word. But they insisted. I can’t say no to pretty people and they pulled the friend card and she showed me her cute belly. And I capitulated.

Shannon and Mike are expecting their first baby in a few days and it’s a girl! I am super excited for them and seriously, deliriously happy to meet little Scottlyn–future Dodger Princess. Congratulations guys!

Hope you like the pictures–but don’t say I didn’t warn you! :)

Thanks to Cean for letting us borrow his fabulous natural light studio for this shoot.

I’m starting with my FAVORITE right off the bat, since, well, it’s my blog and I CAN.

She couldn’t stop laughing, which makes my job easy since I don’t have to come up with more corny jokes than necessary. Her bright smile lights up her entire face and being an aspiring photographer herself, Jennifer knew what she wanted and was comfortable in front of the camera.

Jennifer is one of the most happy, optimistic, cheerful people I know. Even through struggles, she seems to find the proverbial silver lining. I’m lucky to have such beautiful clients, and especially blessed to know this girl who is beautiful and fabulous inside and out. Happy Senior Year, Jen!
