My parents were in town, visiting for the weekend when we found a globe at a yard sale. Armed with a brain full of ideas from pinterest, we took my camera to our local park and got these "maternity" shots to commemorate our season of anticipation. Thank you Dad for taking these photos and Mom for being ridiculous and for dancing around the park just to encourage natural smiles. (And if you've already checked out these photos on FB, scroll down to the end to see a few outtakes!)
And what photo shoot is complete without a blooper reel?

| This photo doesn't do justice to the fervor and noise with which those geese approached. I'll be honest- I got a little nervous! |

| Can't do that with a normal belly, can you? |
Thanks for looking! xo

ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, but I'm a friend of Sara Hogan's. I've been reading your blog and I've nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award! Congratulations! It's an award that goes to fabulous blogs with fewer than 200 followers. It's kind of like a chain letter, so what you have to do in order to receive it is this: 1) Put the Liebster blog image in your post, 2) link to the blog that nominated you, 3) tell 5 fascinating things about yourself, 4) nominate and link to 4-6 other blogs and 5) send them a comment to let them know you nominated them. Congratulations! I'm so excited for your family!
