Growing a Baby

The EPT finally shows a + sign after years of hoping and waiting. You swear you will be forever grateful and are determined to enjoy every second of this 'growing a baby' thing. All day naseau hits, but you hope it's temporary. Hoping to gain a few pounds, you find yourself losing it. 12 weeks comes and it seems every passerby who watches you struggle to keep your lunch down suggests crackers. At 14 weeks you are told over and over again that you shouldn't be sick anymore (smile and nod). 18 weeks... you accept the fact that you are growing a parasite and you won't get better until he is out. 22 weeks...still sick. 26 weeks...still sick. 29 weeks... you attend to your own babyshower and end up catching a cold that turns into bronchitis, you lose another 5 pounds and end up getting fluids at the hospital. 30 weeks... since your only instinct is survival, the nesting instinct is transferred to your husband (finally, a small bonus).

31 weeks... (yup, still sick) we photograph this journey because you will only be pregnant once.

Princess

You would never know that this sweetheart has just been through a bad nightmare, home from an extended hospital stay only one day earlier. She is a little princess who has earned her title.

Spring Fever Anyone?!

What's really great about photographing children in their own homes besides really cool, magazine style images?! A chance to roam, a chance to capture kids being kids and just when you think the fun is over, we head outside and really watch their free spirit shine...satisfy that spring fever.

This is a look only mom may recognize, I think he has the CUTEST little pout...love it! ...





This is a favorite time of year for many mud-loving children!
