Virginia Maternity: Miss Cate

I am counting the days till this little one arrives on the scene but until then I am enjoying watching Cate be pregnant like a rockstar. Nothing stops her! She is fun to be around and she brings the party with her. When she was 5 months pregnant she was still riding Kai’s big wheel. When she was 6 months along, she insisted that she was put in the rotation with the kids for the swing in our backyard. At almost 7 months, I watched her race her 2 year old around the back yard in a push car and as she stood up, I called her name and snapped this picture.

Pregnant women have a glow about them and Cate is no exception. There is a joy surrounding her and her embracing this stage of life and so excited about the little one coming. I hope her kid knows how cool her Mom was …. IS!

 

Virginia Maternity: Rebecca & Johnathan

The clock was ticking, Rebecca knew that she would be meeting her baby girl very soon. We originally had a date set a week prior but the rainy weather wasn’t agreeable, so we wondered if we would get the chance to do maternity pictures. So, we rescheduled for a day that turned out to be a GORGEOUS fall day! The leaves were bursting with colors that were inspirational. Rebecca looked stunning and hardly a day over 8 months. When I was 8 months pregnant with my first, I looked… Well, let’s just say, I looked “ripe” with baby, so ripe, people would ask me if I was having twins.

Rebecca was full of excitement and joy. She didn’t complain or belly ache at all. She was up for anything and she brought such a fun spirit. Joy! She was radiant and Jonathan was so attentive to her. I am sure they are going to be gr*8 parents to that sweet little girl :)

Morris Family a new family of four

A few weeks back, I met back up with the Morris family and got to meet their newest bundle of love. I had meet the family while he was still in the oven, so I was excited to see him on the outside. He was such a good baby. I have to say that what struck me the most was how good his older sister was. She was attentive and caring and very excited about him. Watching her nurture him made it such a sweet and special time to take pictures.
