My first Maternity Session

For the past few months we've been trying to decide if we wanted to hire another photographer to record our Pregnancy (maternity images) our Kaleb's birth (Birth Story).

Both had their own merits, but finally decided upon the Birth Story (to be captured by our very talented photog friend - Ashley Perez) because we knew we'd want images anyway, and this way, Blake wont have to be there through his lens. He can just be there with me.

So with that decided, Blake and I still wanted a few images of my bump. So after our Barrera baby shower, we pulled to the side of the road on the way down the hill and had a mini photo shoot!

What do you think?

I'm still getting used to being in front of the camera at this point.


20 minutes later, I was loving it.  This actually didn't hurt while lying, but getting up was beeotch.

I love how Blake got the bump and the ring.

So very happy.
Holding him. <3

This one is in Kaleb's room. 



I really love this one too.


and a little timer magic, and we both smiled for this beauty. This image is also in Kaleb's room.


It really was tons of fun playing the subject, and very hard not to try to take over and set up all the shots… I actually may have tried, but Blake was awesome and lovingly told me to back off. :D

We're all done with Kaleb's nursery, and I so want to share that with you, but first: the Barrera Baby Shower!… next time. :D
