First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes this beautiful belly!  Congrats Anne and Steve.  I am going on record;  my guess is that there is a baby girl in there…….  Guess we will find out in December!

This is a special family for me. I photographed Christina and Dan’s wedding, then brother Lewis and Lisa’s wedding. And, in just a few weeks I will be there as little sister, Raeann marries her love, Evan. But, before the wedding day, this little baby girl will be born. It is so amazing to be a part of watching families grow and change. Speaking of growing…. how beautiful is Christina’s belly!?!?!??! Congrats guys! Can’t wait to meet her!

We camp….. and we love it!  It would be wildly unfair for anyone to believe that we “rough it”!!!  Nope!   Been there and done that – but not daring enough to try it with kids!  Our camping now consists of a two bedroom camper with central air (very important lately!!!), a flat screen TV, microwave, mini bathtub, etc.  My husband, Bob, even built a beautiful deck off of our camper so that we can grill and eat right under the awning.  Yes, it is relaxation and good living when we get to sneak down there for a few days.

By far, the best part about camping is our camping friends.  We have a little community of summer friends that we now know better than our own neighbors in town!  And, one of our beloved camping neighbors just had new baby, Mackenzie. Bob left the campground to go home to grab the camera so we could nab a couple good shots of this beautiful 3 week old! (Thanks Bob!!!!) And, congrats Alan and Rebecca and big sisters, Ashley and Allison! We love our newest little addition at camp!!!! Just wait til she is 5 and the tall tales I will tell HER by the fire (you KNOW what I am talking about!!!!) Yes, payback will be fun!!!

I had to put up some quick maternity shots since I never posted any…..  Rebecca was stunning when she was pregnant (as she always is).  And, she brought a stunning little one into the world!  Here are some pics of both!

Here is her first hug from her stepsisters caught on camera….

And yes, those ARE baby Timberlands in pink!!!!!

And here is our last minute baby session!  Thanks to our friends for letting us use their picnic table in front of their vintage camper and Coke machine.  So, I gave these images a little vintage treatment to match.

But, of course, we can’t forget her baby parts!!!!!!!  And check out all that black hair!!!

And last, but certainly not least, thanks to my helper!  This camping friend helped by holding a diffusion screen up to block some harsh light…. that diffusion panel, tucked between her head and the sun, made for a great high key impromptu portrait.
