Happy Holidays everyone! I just had to get one more session on the blog before Santa’s big night! And the post has kind of a funny name for a maternity photography session…..but I think you will understand as you look at the images:)

This great-looking couple had me into their home to photograph and capture their pregnancy, and soon I’ll be returning to capture their baby too! They already have one baby in the house. And what a ham!!!! Would you just look at those amazing eyes?! I couldn’t believe how camera-ready this precious pooch was. That’s my kind of dog!

And just look at how mom-to-be is beaming! I wish I could say I looked this amazing during my pregnancy. I loved how she trusted in my ideas and allowed me to play just a bit with some fun angles too:) And dad-to-be was a wonderful sport and very attentive.

Mom and Dad, tell your friends and family members to check out the images and leave a little love on your blog post. If you get 35 comments from unique visitors (with their email address), you can choose your favorite image for a 5×7 print on me! If you get 50 comments, it’s an 8×10!! Enjoy:)
