I wasn’t quite sure that Sheri’s maternity shoot would actually be a maternity session and not a newborn portrait shoot because it was scheduled for the day after her due date, but low and behold, Thursday evening had us photographing her belly. (I hope this preview finds her with a baby instead of a belly!)
They have two excited helpers ready to be a big brother and sister!
I loved working with this sweet family and wish them a wonderful journey as they become a family of five!
This is turning into the kind of blog I hate–the rarely updated, no photo kinda blog. Well, I just can’t let that happen.
Here’s what’s going on around here:
- First snow of the season on Sunday. “Woo-hoo!” as my son would say (Nic taught him to say that whenever it’s cold.)
- I have some very exciting things coming in the mail that will ensure that this blog gets the attention it deserves. I’d share the news, but that would ruin the surprise.
- I am watching Chuck while I type. Hence the spelling errors (if there are any). I am loving the new fall tv line-up. Chuck and Life are the absolute best. Journeyman, Bionic Woman, and The Next Iron Chef also get my vote. But if you aren’t watching Chuck or Life, you need to start.
And last, but not least, new photos from a new session!
Little Elizabeth was born Friday morning and weighed in at 7lbs, 13oz. Her parents had me come over Sunday, when she was just two days old! In fact, they’d only been home from the hospital for an hour or two when I arrived! Just a couple of weeks ago, this tiny thing looked like a bump on her mom’s belly:
It was an honor to get to spend part of Elizabeth’s third day with them. What a sweet angel she is–tons and tons of thick black hair, and lots of sweet little newborn noises. She has many out of town admirers, so I wanted to quickly post one of my favorite photos. She smiled for us a few times, and this was one of the bigger smiles!
We made some good memories–I hadn’t even fired off a frame before naked Elizabeth pooped all over her dad’s arm. While we were cleaning him up, she peed on her mom…and then as we cleaned that up, she pooped on her, too! We laughed a lot, and then got back to our photos.
Remember this belly?
This little girl came out of it!
I couldn’t believe that she still had her cord at three weeks old! She is a precious little thing and completely adored by her big brother…who threw quite a temper tantrum whenever his mom took his baby sister out of his arms! She will be well loved, that is for sure!
Now, when you read what I’m about to write and look at the photo below, you might start to feel a little violent. I met this adorable couple today…and this skinny minny is less than three weeks away from her due date.
But, and I say this as a woman who got horrifically fat when pregnant, you’re not allowed to hate her. She is super nice and I am so excited for the arrival of their baby girl! (If she hadn’t been so wonderful or nice, I would have been more tempted to photoshop on a extra chin or stretchmark or arm fat in a fit of ugly jealousy…)
