New family.....before and after.

So I think I should start out by saying that NO ONE should EVER look this cute when they are 9 months pregnant...TOTALLY not fair in my opinion. It was soooo much fun to take this couple's pictures about a month ago when she was still pregnant...I talked her into doing belly pictures just a few weeks before she had her baby and I hope she will always be happy she did it....I wish I did now (and yes, I KNOW its too late Karl!!)

This was one of the sweetest couples I have ever been around....they kept whispering "I love you" to each other through the whole shoot...just melted my heart.....

so here is before:






and now here is after:






one week old baby boy who is oh so beautiful and sweet and precious and makes me very very thankful for this opportunity I have been given....each moment in time captured makes me soooo happy!! pretty lucky huh??? :)

so after 13 days of puking and diarrhea we have finally managed to clear the house of that awful flu bug...I have sooo many photo shoots to catch up on and so many favorites to share...I am so excited!! So this first family was a SUPER sweet family....3 1/2 year old twins and they were a DREAM to work with....could not have asked for sweeter little ones and I could probably share all 150 pictures I took of them because each one was perfect....here are my favorites though....LOTS more to come (hopefully sooner rather than later!!)...

oh, and by the way....the mommy and daddy in this family had not had their picture taken together since their WEDDING *gasp*.....This one was my total favorite!!!
