I was sitting down to make Taytum’s newborn blog, and when I tried to make a link to the perfect tummy that Taytum came out of, I discovered – to my shock – that I never blogged that very perfect tummy! How, oh how,  did I miss that one?! I can’t tell you how delighted I was that Chelsey asked me to take her maternity portraits! See, I was kind sorta secretly stalking Chelsey…well, ‘stalking’ isn’t really the correct term. I wasn’t following her or anything, but each week when I saw her come in with her beautiful family, I looked at her sweet belly, and I thought to myself, “She would be SO fun to photograph.” They’re are a beautiful family.

They are SO sweet & Miss S, big sister extraordinaire, is so much fun (and so well behaved). She especially liked the painting!

I could SO empathize with Stephanie as I a drug her around town in the heat of an August morning. Even at 8:00am, it’s hot. It’s even hotter if you have a little princess in the oven. Stephanie was absolutely glowing, though. And, Jimmy was hesitant about taking pictures at first, but once I got him going and made some corny, cheesy jokes here and there, he was, I dare say, enjoying himself a little. Not necessarily while I had the camera in his face, but there rest of the time, enjoying our time together. I consider it a true success because he was completely avoiding the newborn session that was coming, but by the end of our session, he decided that maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. Now, I can’t give myself too much credit – it’s not like he was whooping and hollering to come, but, at least he wasn’t making a million excuses, right!

I think this little lady can wear a few outfits a day
