Todd and Kate {Parents to BE}

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to shoot two of my very close friends Todd and Kate!  Todd has become a big part of my life over the past 2 years and its cool to see where our friendship has grown.. what started off as passing hellos quickly transformed to partners in a weekly golf foursome and playing in the same praise band at our church. Virtually overnight!

Todd approached me to  take a photog sess with the two of them and baby Presley… still to make her grand appearance but is still very much present.. I was thrilled, excited and honestly a little nervous.. I had never taken maternity photos so I had no idea what to expect.. I have never really been around pregnant people much before so its all a little new to me.  I mean.. come on..there is a living thing totally growing inside your body!! SOO CRAZY! But it was totally cool!

I have to give Kate huge props for bearing the heat of a 100+ degree day 7 months prego and truckin’ off road to get to the cool spots.. HUGE PROPS.. Here is what we got from the day! I think they came out awesome!

This is when I felt baby Presley kick.. It was seriously one of the coolest things i have ever felt.. I have never felt something living kicking inside another human before.. ever…..CRAZY! as you can tell I am totally new to this whole area :)

I love these shots.. Todd and Kate are so sweet with eachother and make a great pair!

I dont know why but I think this is one of my favorite shots of the day.. just simple..

This one is my other favoite shot of the day.. Love the “vegetation”..

We got some crazy killer stuff from the day.. not bad for my first maternity shoot I think.. I am so excited to see baby Presley.. we already got some plans for new born photos.. they are going to be awesome so stay tuned!

    So having been shot by you, I’m pretty sure that I know exactly which ones Kristen shot. I don’t gamble money, but I’d totally gamble away some favors…like golf lessons, oh wait…you’ve already done that, or how about dinner and a shoot…oh wait, no luck there, we can’t bet that because you’ve already made a deposit in that friendship bank. Hmmm, have I ran out of ideas? How about….teaching me [spanish]?
