my 30 year old belly....33 weeks along
Monday, October 17, 2011 at 10:53PM This past weekend was full of so many exciting moments. We started the weekend off on Friday with a maternity photo shoot done by my ridiculously talented second shooter Jessie. It was so much fun being on the other side of camera.
On Saturday, I had the honor of photographing my sister-in-law's boyfriend proposing to her. I will share photos of that later.
And on Sunday I turned the big 3-0! It was an amazing birthday spent with my boys and then with some of our oldest dearest friends.
Here are some of my favorite photos from MY photo shoot! I had a hard time narrowing them down because Jessie seriously rocked it. She made me feel like a million bucks during the shoot. I have to say that these photos have hands down far exceeded any of my hopes. I will cherish them forever. Thank you my sweet friend Jessie for taking an evening away from your beautiful family to capture mine. Words will never be able to fully express how grateful I am.
My precious family of three (almost four). Gosh, I love those boys!
This next photo has to be one of my favorite photos ever. Keegan is such a Mama's boy and is always hanging on me at this point in his life. When he his older and pushing me away like all boys do, I will be able to look back on this time and remember the time that he just had to have me close to him.
Not only is Jessie an amazing photographer and the other half of the Imago Vita Photography team; She is one of my closest most cherished friends. She is also one of Keegan's favorite people in the entire world. Keegan wasn't feeling too well the evening of the shoot so he didn't want to stand or play on his own. I wanted a few shots of just Nathan and I so Jessie put Keegan on her back while shooting.
I changed outfits and sent the boys across the street to the pumpkin patch so that we could get some shots of just me and my 30 year old belly.
