Phil + Diana = Matthew & Isabella (in waiting)

We originally made time for this session but then had to cancel due to rain. Both Diana and I started to get a bit nervous, not so much from her due date but more because, oh my goodness, she looks about ready to deliver! I asked her if she was sure she wasn’t further along, and she assured me she wasn’t. I find that there are different stages of pregnancy:

1. Yay you’re pregnant and you look exactly the same!
2. Yay you’re pregnant, or hmm, burrito for lunch?? ;p All my girlfriends hate this stage since they feel like they look as if they’ve gained weight, rather than being 4-5 months along. I always vote for them looking cute and pregnant, but it seems as if my vote doesn’t count?
3. Your belly popped out overnight and you look instantly pregnant. This is the stage most of my friends and clients seem happiest at.
and
4. You are ‘beautiful’ pregnant, because oh my goodness that baby is coming out any day and we can just imagine holding it. Okay, yes, I admit. This is the stage my friends complain about the most! They are tired. They have trouble sleeping. Husbands have now become pully systems that help you get up from sitting and lying positions. Translation? This is the part they want over the quickest! Next to morning sickness of course!

The day of the session came and Matt was every bit as rambunctious as you hear little boys are. He was running, he was playing, he was just having a great time. His aunty and uncle came to help out, and he popped in a few times for his beauty shots. =)

Yesterday I heard that Diana was 1 centimeter dilated! So now these family photos will soon be complete. Enjoy guys!

Waiting…

I’m occasionally asked the question, “Do you do maternity sessions?”, and the answer is a resounding yes. No, this isn’t something I necessarily advertise. To be honest, weddings keep me quite busy! And I’m so glad they do. So primarily family sessions and maternity/baby sessions are done on special inquiry. I have to say, I love hearing from previous clients that they are expecting.

That said, I did not get to photograph this beautiful couple’s wedding! They are cousins of Rafael and Lorena’s, and when they saw the session I did for them and their newest addition, Izel, they asked if they could get in on the fun. Small secret? I totally remember Abril. I’ve done two weddings for Rafael and Lorena’s family, with a third coming up, and every time I go it’s great to see familiar faces. Who wouldn’t remember Abril? She’s beautiful, especially with her gorgeous eyes. It was great getting to know her family a bit more, and I’m so glad I was able to document them waiting for their new addition, a baby girl.

I’ve been caught up with so much work, but I know how anxiously they’ve been awaiting their slideshow, so without further ado, TA-DA!

Enjoy,

[...] photographing her beautiful family Bella has made her debut. Isn’t she [...]

Kevin + Tonie = Angelina + ??

I’ve been friends with Tonie for 10 years, back when we were COUGH COUGH. So you can see that we’re all still quite young around here thank you very much.

Actually we really are, but I’m prepping for ten years from now so that I can be safely and easily deluded. I’m sure my friends and Drivers License will try to shoot me back down to reality, but thankfully reality is now a tv show. YAY for me!

In any case, I’ve been taking photos off and on for Tonie and adorable daughter for ages. This time it was a new request, she wanted to include the hubby, the baby, and the NEW baby. Of course the new baby was still hiding away. Welcome to my very first maternity sessions. Can you have one of your own? Of course.

Also please keep your eyes open as Tonie’s lil baby made her debut and I’m just processing the photos now. Uber adorable.
