Feels like Monday

  Tonight I wanted to scout out a few locations for for future sessions, and so the fam came with me even though Charlotte was in the worst mood ever.  Terrible twos please be over soon.  I love the botanical gardens, we took a walk (well more of a waddle for me) but the weather was perfect, and other then the screaming, pouting toddler we had a great time.  My bff came home today from a family vacation she had and she bought me nachos annnnd they were so amazing, and they didn't even give me heart burn!  Thank you E, you are the best :) If you haven't tried the app "guess the emoji" TRY IT it is so addicting, and fun.

 Baby bump at 33 weeks

 C chose to wear pajamas, rain boots, and a sun hat today it cracked me up.  I am pretty relaxed with what she decides to wear, and I love seeing her sense of style come out.  Some days it is tutus, others its jeans and a batman shirt.

 I got two maxi skirts and wear them legit every day.  This is the bump at 34 weeks, my t shirts officially do notttt fit anymore.  

 These two have formed a really close bond so far this summer, C used to be a total mama's girl, but now? she loves spending time with her daddy bear :)  (She still totally loves me the best, but I share lol)

 Mawy has totally taken over Baby E's nursery.  His fav spots are the changing pad, and her crib.  It is seriously hilarious, I think he will change his mind once she actually gets here though.

 My little princess.  This was the day where she just wanted to wear 2 tutus all day, even to church...

Mike, Claire, and Franklin session

 For my brother and SIl's first anniversary I wanted to take pictures of them where their wedding pictures were taken.  They got a dog their first year of marriage and wanted to include him in their family pictures.  I love these two, and my SIL is the perfect girl for my brother.  Thanks for letting me take your pictures guys!

Dee and Tim's Maternity Session

 I did a maternity shoot for my good friend and her husband a few weeks ago and wanted to post it, and it will eventually get onto my website (still in the works!) but I love how beautiful the peony gardens were, and my friend is just glowing.  These two are the best parents to baby E already, she was born on July 1, and I cannot wait to do her newborn session soon!

America

 Happy 4th of July! Isn't E so gorgeous? I sure got lucky in the bestfriend department! We went on a independence day/America photo shoot today and even though C was a little grumpy (okay a lot) the pics turned out pretty great! We had to take E to the airport so we didn't have a ton of time, and the time of day wasn't the best, but I still think we got some gems! Russ has the day off tomorrow so he is taking Charlotte to the parade with his parents while I get to stay home and do nothing...sounds amazing to me! We don't have really any other plans except to BBQ later in the day. 

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

July already

 I cannot believe it is July already, this summer has gone by so fast.  My good friend had her baby girl last night and I cannot wait to meet her and do her newborn pictures! She was 9 pounds 11 ounces, and almost 21 inches long, and she is gorgeous! 

Last night Russ got home and told me to go spend some alone time, so I went to Target (duh) by myself and found maxi skirts finally in my size and bought two.  They are non maternity so they will last forever hopefully...but oh my gosh what an amazing thing going to Target by myself it was seriously so great.  After I went shopping I met up with a friend for froyo.  It was a pretty perfect night, and Char was so cute she was so excited for a "date with Daddy bear".  I feel like we are like almost 100 percent ready for this little girl, I was sitting in the nursery folding clothes today and trying to imagine life with two girls, I think it will be a huge change but also I think we are so ready for the challenge.
