Smith Family~ Maternity

So I had the extreme privilege to do a maternity shoot yesterday. The main reason that it was so much fun is because Nathan and Katie are some of my best friends. I've known them since I started college and have been so blessed to have shared life with them since then. I watched them get married and have been able to watch all three of their kids grow up. Its so crazy to think that I've known them coming up on eight years. It's truly been an honor to have their friendship.

They are now pregnant with number four. It's hard to believe that the baby will be here in a few short months. Since they have always known what they were having with their previous children, they decided to keep this one a surprise. Any guesses???

Enjoy!

There's that miracle child ;)


So I didn't realize before hand that they had this foot board and wasn't planning on that, but I must say that I think this is one of my favorites from the day.


A little sequence of mom and dad. It's hard to keep three little ones still for that long.

So the wind definitely picked up when we got to the park.  It was quite cold, but they were troopers and braved it anyway.  A bit of snuggling will do the trick.


Of course the proud momma.


And last, but not least. I love this one of everyone piled on the bed. :D


Possibly more to come if I come across any more favorites.

Baby girl

So a couple of my friends had themselves a little addition to the family this past year. A beautiful little baby girl. This was her first Christmas so we got a few shots of the new fam together during the holiday season. This little one's momma comes from a big family with many uncles to watch after her so needless to say she is quite loved. I just feel sorry for the boys that will come along in her life and all the men they will have to answer to.

Well she was having a bit of a rough time when we started, but I think we got some really great shots. We were all about ready for a nap by the end of the morning, but it was all well worth it.

We'll start out with a few of just mom and dad.










You have a beautiful family and I loved working with you guys.
