Heather {Nesting}

    I had a busy but FANTASTIC weekend!! Saturday I photographed a beautiful wedding and Saturday I took a little trip with my baby girl up to Minnesota for my cousin Heather's baby shower!! Growing up I remember how I always looked up to my cousins! They are beautiful and warm hearted. I'm so happy that we are able to get together when we do (even though it seriously needs to be more often!!). After Heather's shower which was a great relaxing time we went back to her place for a bit then Heather and I took a little trip to a nature reserve. Thankfully we didn't see any snakes which I heard about! and Lucky me they had a sign posted with "CAUTION: Poison Ivy" and a picture of what it looks like (Poison Ivy was very abundant around the sign and I feel like next time I go trekking threw the middle of the woods I'll be better prepared to avoid the poison ivy (which you might remember I got it on my face in May; if you don't remember let me just tell you, not fun!) Back on track we had a fun time taking pictures and catching up, talking about baby stuff and various other things! I was pretty excited to take a peak at these. On my drive home I had to pull over to feed little miss A (who is 5 months old) and I thought about just editing them in the car as she ate!! Here are my favorites.... Heather I hope you like them I'm SUPER excited to meet your little darling! :)

Jenni has Two Buns in the Oven!

     I know I've said it, but I love being able to photograph my family including obviously my children, but also my sister and her family. My sister unfortunately has fertility issues. Her daughter, Paige is now 3 and was their first little miracle using IVF. In December they had the last IVF treatment they were going to do before trying a different method. I was praying for multiples and I remember when Jenni called me to tell me the news... Identical Twins.  I was so happy for her and I have to admit a little bit of a "I KNEW IT" moment. She is due to have her identical girls in September! I have to admit while taking my beautiful Sister's pictures I got emotional and a little misty eyed! There are people that you wonder why would God give this couple the misfortune of fertility issues, when some people get pregnant so easily get pregnant! Maybe it us more grateful for the little ones in our life, whatever the reason behind why some people's ease and troubles getting pregnant I was overjoyed that my sister was not only pleased with a second pregnancy, but also that she was having twins. I am already a proud auntie and my heart is surely going to do a lot of growing come September! SO EXCITED!
