We are so exited to add a new little girl to our family! It seemed like I would be pregnant forever . . . and now I’ve only got a couple weeks left. In my last stretch of “one child mommy-hood” I’m investing my time playing with my two year old. We color Winnie the Pooh pages, read books, and play legos. Get ready for a BIG installment of newborn pictures of our new little princess!

This pregnancy my body has stayed amazingly flexible, but I’m so close to the end that I’ve started turning down the late December jobs. I’m scheduling sessions for mid-January . . . let me know if you’d like to book a session!

Because I always have to post pictures, here’s a couple new favorites of Abby and my best friend . . .

I couldn’t resist posting one more of Misty and her sweet girl. I love this one . . .

It was a joy to meet Misty and Don’s family this weekend. I could tell that Misty was so fun and friendly through our emails and she’s just as sweet in person! It was a bright, sunny morning at the beach, so we ducked into the last remnants of shade as soon as we got there.

And Don didn’t think he was very photogenic . . .

Ben is the best big brother ever! Katelynn totally adores him. She hung out by his side all morning – and guess who let her win the game of tackle?

Isn’t Katelynn super sweet? And just like her mommy!

But don’t let her fool you . . . I love her sassy looks . . .

I can’t decide which one I love more – Ben with Dad or with Mom. They’re both precious.

Not long after I took this last photo, Ben stepped on a bee that was crawling on the beach. I can honestly say I think it’s the first injury a client has had during a session – if someone is going to get soaked or scraped, it’s ME! Dad knew just what to do and pulled out the stinger. Ben was amazing – those bee stings HURT!!

Misty – I’ll send you a password to your complete photo gallery within a few days . . .

I love going to the beach. It’s so fun to watch Abby run to the water and jump right in. So while they played, I goofed off with my camera . . .

I ordered a big gallery wrap of this one. It arrived yesterday and is hanging in our office – where I can see it all the time. :0)

My brother in law, Matt . . .

John and Abby . . . I love playing with sun flare.

I love the Dietrich family – they are such examples of hospitality and service to others. Avary is a sweet little girl and will be a FANTASTIC big sister! I was glad to be able to take her photos just after her one year old birthday . . .

Happy Birthday, Avary!
