See you next year!  I am d.o.n.e.  :)  Well… besides the editing and possibly a few makeups from some rain and illnesses… but for the most part, I’m done!  I love them, but my allergies are driving me insane this year– and I’m needing a break from rolling around the flowers with so many cute kids!

Here are the last of them… I think…

ENJOY:

I took the first picture of my dear friend, Kathryn, when she was about 9 months pregnant.  She was the very last session of the bluebonnets… the sun was setting and the light was GORGEOUS– and so was she!  One of the most beautiful pregnant women I’ve ever seen…

Fast forward a year…. and here is what we have… a gorgeous mama, a gorgeous baby and a beautiful sunny day!  I might have to drag them back out there at sunset sometime this week to try to get the exact picture– but you get the idea!

Love them.

ENJOY:

So…. SHHHHHHH if you know this baby’s daddy!  :)   He must not be a blog-stalker– because her mommy told me I could put these here!  (How dare you, Brad!)… Anyway:  Instead of a traditional 9 month session– her Mama decided to pretend like they were not having one and surprise Daddy for Valentine’s Day with some of these shots.   Perfect idea– perfect baby– and (in my opinion) perfectly beautiful pictures of Little Madi-cakes!

I’ll put a before baby (baby in the belly with heart on top) and after baby photo right here:

ENJOY:

Pictures of a birth…

(Minus the actual birth…. at least for you to see!)… I had the HONOR of being IN the delivery room for this little baby.  I must say… I was quite nervous.  You only get one shot at these pictures— but I am so happy with how they came out and know Leyla’s parents will be too.

She is AMAZING… her lips… her hair… everything about her.  I can’t wait for her “newborn” session next week (although… you don’t get much more newborn than this!)

PS:  VOTING ENDS TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT (see TWO posts below!!!)!

ENJOY:
