Maternity Shoot - Amanda (and crew)

WARNING!:
Cutest Maternity pic ever on the way!

You were warned!

This is Amanda. New mom to baby Isabelle.

Isabelle has already rolled over! I saw that as a sign that I REALLY NEED to get these pics uploaded!

This is Dad... Patrick.
They are a sweet couple. Patrick is the talker. Amanda is the quiet one.

In a quiet beautiful sort of way....

You know what I mean.

We went to the lake and there were so many beautiful spots there in a small area that I could have shot all day. I was very impressed considering this was my first shoot after I broke my big giant foot. I only tweaked it twice.

Thanks Patrick for helping me up after I laid on the ground for pics. I know I couldn't have made it without you :)

These tall grasses, queen anne's lace and clover. Mmm! Delicious! I took half my pics here, and I could have taken 200 more easily.

Amanda reminds me so much in this pic as a 70's flower child, that I had to juice it up and make it look like I just pulled it out of grandma's magnetic album.

Patrick showed up with a pretty nice camera himself and I was all "what the heck do you need me for?" and their response? "We didn't wanna chance it."

dude.

I have mad respect for ppl that "get it"

So I gave Patrick a couple tips, and then stood back and watched him practice. Go Patrick Go!



Amanda and Patrick have 2 other little children. Let me warn you, this is the most adorable maternity picture EVAH!

Doesn't that make you wanna run out and have a couple....
weiner dogs?

It does me!

I've begged for a weinie dog ever since I saw this adorable girl.
I want!

Really.

I offered to do the shoot for free if I could have that dog.

I meant it.

I still mean it.

Laura's Session - Missouri Maternity photographer

I shared earlier, some photos of Laura's maternity session. I have finished editing, and wanted to share some of my favs from the day!

I love this photo, even tho it's slightly off focus. It has awesome sunflare, a sillhouette and a genuine smile from Laura.

Go Laura.

Laura is kinda conservative straight laced. {that's ok, we like that too} I badly wanted her pic with her mustang and asked Laura to give me something a little on the "hot mamma" side. I'm fairly impressed. I can tell you for sure that when I was 7.5 months pregnant, I was not balancing myself on heels up against my mustang.

To be fair, she put her slippers back on as soon as we got in the car. LOL.

P.S. - Laura, you and I need to ditch the men and the kids for a weekend and have a Thelma and Louise. We'll take your car. I'll drive. LOL.

Maternity and Hot Mamma all in one!

My sister in law, Laura is expeciting #2 VERY SOON. On Thanksgiving day, we ducked out for a bit into a super cold park for a few maternity pics. Stephanie (the niece) came along and we took quite a few sweet family/maternity photos.

Now, I have to preface these pics with the fact that Laura is pretty straight laced sorta gal... which is good. Someone out there needs to make up for my misgivings. LOL. BUT, totally contradictory to her personality, she drives a cute little hot yellow mustang. (girl after my own heart). I totally had to feature this mustang to let everyone know that Laura can cut loose with the best of us.
