~ We'll be Friends Forever

......won't we, Pooh?" said Piglet. "Even longer," Pooh answered ~

I felt this quote, in particular, was perfect for these cute cousins...

This favorite quote of mine was given to me long ago from a girl I played baseball with. She was hilarious. We used to do our cheers real loud and giggle throughout games. I had the quote in a little picture frame up until my 4th child finally retired it so it could no longer be seen. Regardless it was one of my favorite things. The best memory of our friendship was when she became obsessed with The Backstreet Boys and with Nsync. So much so, that she bought me both CD's for my birthday... then chased the Backstreet Boys bus across the border (ha! ha! remember Erin?) It turned out to be a pretty good CD (ha!).

That young lady and I grew apart over the years and I had the pleasure of seeing her last Sunday. She had asked me to take pictures of her daughter.

This is Rylin....





Erin and her sister Andrea were due only 3 days a part. Ella ended up coming a tad early but with only 5 weeks in between them, I can tell already, these little ladies are going to be the best of friends....

This is Ella......





Best friends....

~ a grand adventure is about to begin ~~ winnie the pooh

My friend Desiree and her hubby Trevor were the second of my two 'back to back' maternity photo's. Dessie and I have been friends since the 8th grade. As teenagers we had tons of fun and may have even got into a bit of trouble... for the most part we were pretty good kids. I'm finding that the closer I am with the person I'm taking pictures of the harder it is for me to direct them. I thought it would be fun to boss around my friends (ha ha ha) but it's actually the opposite, and kinda akward. Something I hope to overcome soon... I'm getting a lot of practice and I'm excited to continue to be more assertive, more comfortable and more confident in myself and what I'm trying to do.

This will be Desiree and Trevor's first baby. Finally all my friends are catching up with me and I'm SO excited to be an Auntie!! It's keeping me distracted from continuing with my own 'litter'

Here are a few of my fav's

~ a moment in mum's tummy...

... a lifetime in her heart ~

Last weekend I was all booked up doing maternity photo's (ok, it was only 2... but still). The first appointment I had was of my 'cousin' Tiffany and her guy Mark. It was my first maternity photoshoot so I was pretty nervous but also SO excited! I loved taking these pictures because you could feel the electricity between these two... they are SO in love and I hope you can feel the love too!!
