I had the pleasure of photographing my cousin Kelly and her baby bump this past week. Madeline will be arriving late summer, just in the time to feel our wonderful 90+ degree heat! Since I’m always cold, this is my favvvorite weather. I would rather be sweating then shivering any day of the week!
Kelly’s little man Ben is in some of the studio shots and I think it added something very special to the pictures. I love the one where he’s unwrapping her belly bow. Ben insisted on seeing himself on the back of my camera after each shot was taken. So I played along and things were going great. Then it turned into…”I wannnttt a suckkkkerrr” “Mommy!! Sucker!” Good thing Aunt Colleen was there because she searched the pantry and made do with the next best thing….MARSHMALLOWS! So needless to say, Ben was fed a mini marshmallow after each cute & cuddly shot we asked him to take! Haha- well all 20 bites of sweet and creamy goodness later, we got our shots!
After a little while in the studio we went outside to my favorite place, the secret garden. I might as well just start calling it this! My Aunt Brenda & Uncle Jerry (Mr. Mother’s Restaurant himself) live right down the street from me. Well they just have the most fabulous garden. My Aunt is always planting flowers and buying new interesting things to add to her garden, which is more like a sanctuary. I swear every time I walk down there I notice something new to photograph in front of. It’s my little outdoor studio and I’m grateful to have it just a stone’s throw away from my house. If your reading this Bren, thanks for all the time you put into your beautiful backyard, its greatly appreciated :)
Anyway- Here are some special ones from the day!
I had a blast with you Kel, Benny & Aunt Colleen. Thanks for making memories with me. Love ya’ll!
