Maternity Shoot?

Last Monday during the snow storm we decided to go to the train station to get the kids out of the house. I took the camera with the intent of getting some six year old pictures of Lucas but before I knew it we ended up doing a full-blown maternity shoot. he he. I've never been a huge fan of maternity pictures (most I've seen make me want to hurl) so I wasn't taking the whole thing very seriously. It looks like I was way into the whole thing but it was mostly silly! Anyway, we ended up having so much fun and I'm actually really glad to have some pictures taken while I'm still pregnant with my little Jane. Only 8 more weeks!!!

Last Wedding

Last Thursday I shot my last wedding for awhile. The families I was working with were really great and laid-back so the day went really well...I was nervous my back would give out but I was okay until the very end. Friday it was a struggle to get around but the pain was pretty well gone by Saturday--Woo-Hoo!
There was a cute girl named Kimber (that was related to the bride) shooting candids while I was doing my thing. I know that some photographers really hate when people are shadowing them but I love it--and I don't mind the company. There's just so much you miss when you don't have multiple photographers--for instance; this shot shows a great perspective that I couldn't ever give a client (for obvious reasons). She sent me a link to her blog and I saved a copy for myself.

Here is her post.

It's a much better picture of me working than the ones David usually takes (i.e. me stuffing my face with cinnamon roles).

Happy Valentines Day

Are you pregnant...or just......nevermind.

Ya know, even though you're pregnant, and gaining weight for all the right reasons, it's still hard to see a picture of yourself and wonder if that's really what you look like. David has this special talent of getting the most unflattering shots of people (of me specifically). I don't feel too picked on because he tries his best to get gruesome shots of EVERYONE he sees....if you could only see some of his "candid" weddings shots...he really is a bad person deep down :). I came across this picture of me eating at a wedding (taken a few weeks ag0) and it just made me feel so good about myself. The blank look on my face as I inhaled three giant cinnamon roles is disturbing to say the least...

Hallelujah!!!

When I was pregnant with Lucas I swear Icould have ran a marathon, but this time I've been extremely uncomfortable (and a big old baby). It's strange feeling so handicap...and I swear no one really believes that I'm in that much pain (I'm finding it difficult to breath and some pretty intense back pain). I'm trying not to be dramatic-- I would much prefer to be happy and pain-free. Anyway, this picture David took last Saturday at my very last bridal shoot before the baby comes!!!! Hallelujah!!! I'm pretty sure I broke my back somewhere along the way...I couldn't walk for the next few days. I'm a little nervous about getting through her wedding day but it's nice to know that it will be the last one I take for awhile. I think I'd pull my hair out if I was heading into another busy wedding season. I got really behind this last year (I'm still blaming it on Girls Camp), and I'm still trying to finish up about ten or eleven projects. Sorry if anyone reading this is one of those clients!!! I'm plugging along! I've met some of the cutest couples this year and I'm sure I'll miss being around the wedding scene (I still adore couples that are painfully in love--it's so adorable), but it'll be nice to take some time off to be with my sweet little Jane that I've waited so long for! I'm getting SO excited!

Bad to the Bone

Is there anything cuter than a little boy on a four-wheeler!? Seriously.
